The tote bucket in to the vet today for exams before go home!

Cute!!!
How the heck do you get them to stay in there?!
After 4-5 weeks, I couldn't even carry them in one of those w/out them jumping out...which is pretty dangerous when it's in the air!

A "Stay" command must be mastered by 5 weeks of age at my house! LOL!! Ok, in my dreams.
I have tried several tote buckets just to get them in and out of the vet...most they shredded or climbed out of. This one, I just dremeled out the middle part so it's not right against the sides of the bucket itself so they can perch up on it...but nothing inside for them to get leverage on. It has served me well. Using crates is SO hard b/c they are all trying to get out and trying to get the door shut on them is no fun. This way, I can just reach in and grab whatever pup is next. I put shavings inside it so if there are any potty accidents it's absorbed.

10 pups...my biggest litter I've had. I prefer 5-7 pups...but can't tell mother nature what to do I guess. 4 boys, 6 girls.

From the picture seems like alot more. I tried counting after I posted. They sure look great from the pic. Ears up you should be proud and excited. Good luck

Oooh, good idea to take away their leverage.
Capri likes big litter. Me, not so much. I think 3 is perfect, lol.
Nice litter, Melinda.

Thanks! Their ears have been up since 4 weeks old. I'm really happy with this litter. 4 go to their new homes this weekend. 2 are staying with me for a few additional weeks to start training then head to their new homes. 4 girls available.

They are just adorable! I too prefer a small littter 6 - 8. I had a litter of 13 Malinois last year - needless to say I took a year off! If you have any extras send them my way.
