Well, the end is nigh.

This is our final week with the puppies as they will be moving to their new homes next weekend. We know that their new mums and dads are counting down the days.

They will be wormed for the last time by us on Wednesday, and they are booked in for their vet check, their first vaccinations, and to have their microchips inserted on Wednesday as well. A busy day for them all (and for us as well; you should try corralling four pups into the back of the car to get them there and back!)

They will also have at least one more bath before the weekend to make sure they all smell sweet for their new mums and dads. It will be an early start for us next weekend as we have been assured that mums and dads will be camping out at our doorstep next Saturday to collect their new family members.

In the meantime, we'll be making the most of our remaining time with the pups.
