Kirin's second day!

We went to the Vet today, for his first check-up. He weighed in at 15.9 lbs at 8 weeks old. He's in great health, good lungs, good heartbeat, no worms, puppy teeth, inital trimming of his toenails, and the vet staff just ate him up. He is a ham, the breeder, Mike May, did a wonderful job with his pups and dogs. Thanks.

The vet's assistant tried to give us some science diet dog food, which is fine, but we're using all natural Canidae dog food. We also don't have to worry about recalls either.

He got his Heartguard and his Frontline to keep him protected and we set up the next appointment for his next vaccinations. We're also considering a puppy kindergarten to make sure he's properly socialized, and to start some training.

Speaking of training, Kirin is learning "sit", "down", "kennel", "come", "no", and "potty". He's also accepted his collar and doesn't mind the leash either. Since bulldogs are "mouthy" and like to chew things, we got him a kong and some toys from the bamboopet company. He also likes the empty 20 oz bottles.
