Pixel had her first vet checkup today and everything is super! The doctor said that she looks good. I think they were surprised at how well she behaved. Truthfully, I was surprised at how well she behaved. They gave her a treat to chew on and she was oblivious to everything else. She weighed in at a hefty 11 pounds and Dr. Wendy said she doesn't expect she'll get much bigger. All the vet ladies loved her name and her cute little face! She didn't even yelp or cry when she got her booster shot. What a good little girlie she was!

And we got a total bonus from the vet...a puppy welcome kit! It included an 8lb. bag of puppy food, a puppy toothbrush and toothpaste (who knew we should be brushing her teeth?), her first heartworm pill, more chewie toys, two books with tips on everything puppy (one of which has a coupon for another 8lb. bag of food), and a puppy vaccine chart. How cool is that? Of course I'm mostly excited about the free food! Hey, that's like 2 months worth of food. That in addition to the BOGO deal we got at the store this week and Pixel should be eating well for a while!
