Gus had a check-in and check-up with our vet, Dr. Suzanne Fariello this morning, he got examined and one booster shot. She doesn’t want him being around other dogs until he’s 14 weeks old, but understands that he will be meeting a lot of people before thenn.

We agreed to have Gus neutered at nine months and he was wormed also – he slept for much of the afternoon. Gus’s breeder Robin Gibbons took the whole litter to Dr. Fariello, so she was no stranger to him. She was full of praise for Robin’s breeding, she said Gus was “perfect,” healthy and sound in every way.

We had a long talk about the lure of small dogs and I think Gus is grasping the importance of the camera in our household. Back in two weeks for another shot. Gus took it all well and was pleased with a couple of treats.
