Survived the Vets

They were quiet to and fro. Nathan walked each around all over as the vets was quiet. With the ice storm everyone cancelled except when we arrived emergencies came in. So we waited.

Here is the vet gallery.

We had them play before we departed. We went extra early as the vets requested but we had to wait till our pipes were fixed. but instead we left the plumber witg Dennis and took off or we would still be just leaving the vets now. It's been a day of a flooded basement, no water and treacherous driving but its over and we have water and we made the trip to the vets in one piece though I did shut my eyes many times as I was so frightened. But Nathan is an excellent driver. We were cut off by 4 snow plows - no lie. I got their license plate. There were 4 serious accidents. This made me even more impressed at how good of a driver Nathan is. I couldn't have done this and I consider myself a great driver. They would have been prying my hands off the steering wheel.

Here is the gallery before the vets.

We had to go as we couldn't get another appointment for 2 weeks. That's too late so we took the trek and glad we did as its over.

No cries to and back. No poos or wet spots. They were golden. No one got sick. A few didn't even care about the microchip but some did. Pay attention to the gallery so you can see who. I did not take videos at the vets. All 10 healthy.

They played upstairs (no photos) after we arrived home. Each used a pad and ate and ate as they had missed lunch. 

If I sound incoherent - I am. I need a drink. LOL and usually I joke about such stuff but tonight I need to de-stress. It's been a heck of a day and I still have blogs to do.

A well earned bottle of wine, I'd say!

So glad you made that trek back with no issues ... I couldn't believe that you still went.
Puppies so cute !!!!

I think it was a miracle we survived. we had so many hydroplane moments.

These puppies are gorgeous. You are amazing. I would have had a heart attack driving all the way to the vets and back. In this weather. Bravo Nathan.

Out of solidarity I decided to have a glass of wine tonight also. Driving in Montreal was not much fun either, but Beau was very happy to see us hone safe. Good thing Dexter, her poodle companion, was home to keep her company. Both dogs enjoyed the weather and played outside a lot, even if we were less enthusiastic about the freezing hail we had here.

Glad you’re all safe.
Beautiful, beautiful puppies.
