The Day of Travel... and Adventure
TODAY was the first day the puppies not only traveled in the car, but visited a whole new place. they did fabulously in the car. One puppy had a bit of an upset tummy on the way home but otherwise it was flawless.... They were calm and comfortable in the crates and didn't do much whining. LOL... compared to last year it was a piece of cake! The puppies last year made such a clamor that I could have used ear plugs! Here's a pic of the pups in their crates on the way to Mercer Island's "All The Best," pet food store. This store has been incredibly tolerant and enthusiastic about puppies running rampant throughout the facility. We started the tradition last year with the Alchmy's Royale litter and continue with the Alchmy's Absolut gang. It's the perfect place to socialize the puppies as it's a very busy store and .... of course!... everyone who enters is a dog enthusiast.
ouch that looks like hard time in San Quentin!... surprisingly they didn't suffer too badly ;)
Here is the Mascot and two of the employees of All The Best (with the puppies of course). I took them in 4 and 5 at a time. They were a little timid at first. A couple hid under the cart at first. True to the temperament of their Daddy, it didn't take them long to figure it out and bounce into complete comfort and confidence. I called Stoli, their daddy, the 'bounce back boy,' because he would hesitate at new experiences only to bounce instantly into full assertiveness. Once learned... there was never another issue.

Homeward bound....
Puppies got newly bought treats for the trip home: dried beef tendons and freeze dried lamb patties. How luckily can they be? Now wonder they didn't complain on the way home... or maybe it was just that they were exhausted..? hee hee either way It made my job easier ;)
Given that this was their first trip to a new place I was very pleased with their reaction and adaptation. They traveled without any of the 'big girls' which is always a little more challenging for the puppies.
