George and Gracie and their Last Puppy Vaccinations

George and Gracie came in for their last puppy shots today.  She's up to 29 lbs.  He's 32 lbs. 




Kids grow up so quickly these days.  *sniff, sniff*  

They are boarding in a few weeks, for a few days.  We'll be loading up on Doggie Treats that weekend.
How could you not with those faces?  You just want to pinch their cheeks and squish them around.

George and Gracie- Part 2. and Part 3.

I am the most unorganized blogger that ever lived.  I have to admit.  I have to often go back and look for blog posts to see who you've seen.  Or not.  Or seen twice. Or almost saw twice.

It takes a little while to resize photos,  string together video clips in imovie,  and upload them to youtube.  Youtube probably takes the longest, as last night I was trying to upload these clips and it was saying it would take an hour.  Forget that.  This morning, it took about 15- 20 minutes between the two. 

So here's the update on George and Gracie, the 2 pound puppies, you saw getting a bath a few weeks ago.   Well, it's their current update, and the one from 3 weeks ago. Put it that way.  

When they first showed up, they weighed about 8 and 9 pounds respectively. 
On their second visit below they weighed 16 and 17 lbs.
Photo from 3 weeks ago- 3/1/11, I think.





And here is their little video clip from last week.    They are no longer Little George Burns and Little Gracie Allen.  They are now Medium George Burns and Medium Gracie Allen.  23 and 24 lbs.

George and Gracie

Look at these two.  Little George Burns and Little Gracie Allen.


The pound thought they were Saint Bernard Mixes, but I don't think they are going to be that large. I think they might be Australian Shepherd Mixes or something.  We'll see how much weight they gain between now and their next appointment.  Big dogs will gain 2-3 lbs. / week.

They were adopted last week from the pound by the family who had Barney.   Barney was the Lab who I had to put to sleep early last year. The one who was Jethro's buddy.    You can search fom "Barney" at the top and find photos of him.

Barney, was found at the garbage dumpster when he was about 8 months old.  And lived quite a pampered life after than.   I asked his owners over the summer if they were thinking about getting another dog when I was looking for a home for Maggie.  They said not right then, they were traveling in the fall visiting relatives and had decided to wait.  I was happy to hear that they were considering it as they were such a good home for Barney.  And if you had asked Barney, he would have wanted the same for other dogs in a similar situation. Dogs that just need a home.



George and Gracie, along with their littermates, had their photo in the newspaper last week.  So, Mr and Mrs. P went to the pound to see what was available.  They were just gonna look they said.  "I even left my purse at home", said Mrs. P.

Well, she liked George.   He liked Gracie.  So they got them both.

They were in yesterday for a puppy vaccination and bath yesterday.  Listen to the mouth on lil Miss Gracie while George was getting his bath.
