Family night Puppy Adoption

After our week of being sick, we were all getting pretty bored being cooped up in the house. I had read about an idea for a little boys birthday party that involved doing a puppy adoption and thought it would be a lot of fun for a family night. So we set up a "Pet Shop" with little toy puppies that Grandma H sent for a birthday surprise. We each picked a puppy to adopt.(Don't worry, the extra puppies had families coming just a few minutes later, so no puppies got left out.) Then, we put a collar and a dog tag on our puppy.(we made them out of felt.) And we signed very official adoption documents. We even had them notarized with a valentine stamp. Then we had a picture taken with our new puppies and were off to the supply shop for puppy supplies.
At the supply shop, we used the very handy shopping cart and basket to shop for puppy chow (cereal in a plastic bag and canned food with the wrapper peeled off.) a puppy blanket, scooby snacks and a puppy dish. The supply shop was very expensive and the totals amounted to about 800.00 for everything but luckily we had membership credit cards from Costa Vida and a lot of pennies.
Next, we were off to the vet for the puppies to have a check up and shots. Kinley was very distressed that her puppy was going to have to have shots. She almost cried but then she became a very helpful veterinary assistant and gave all the other puppies their shots. The puppies also had their temperature taken and their ears cleaned with Qtips at the vet. The vet then gave each puppy a little container of puppy vitamins that looked suspiciously like conversation hearts. (Thanks Jj and Valeena!)
Off to the groomer next to get all scrubbed and brushed and combed. These puppies have already been very loved and so they did get a very real Lysol wipe down before they got to leave with their owners. They also were blow dried and had their nails clipped which they were all very nice for.
Last but not least, we made puppy homes out of boxes by putting the puppy blankets and dog dishes inside. After working so hard loving the little puppies, hot dogs for dinner were a must.
