On the third day is a trip to the Vet for the dreaded tail and
dewclaw removal. I always hate going and hearing the little
cries, but the pups seem to take it all in stride and are back to
normal before they get home. Ivy on the other hand didn't like it at all.

  
Last shots with tails. First lying quietly at home in the whelping box.

  
Marco helped me load them into a laundry basket.

    
Ivy gets a count on the pups after a 'howling' ride to the vets.

  
Momma keeping an eye on things. The pups don't seem too worried about anything.

And then here come Jamie to carry away our bundle of pups.

There that didn't take long. Ivy checks to see if all is well.
