So Taco was a little late for his second rabies shot and heartworm shot. He was supposed to go the first week of January but since I came back in the middle of January, we all forgot. We went to the vet and he was a wonderful puppy in the car. He mostly sat in the back seat and after a little bit laid down.

At the vets, Taco was put on the scale and he weighed a whopping 8.9 kgs. He hadn’t been to the vet for a few months and it was a big increase from last time. He’s not overweight though, just growing. He’s actually a little on the slender side. Taco’s not a big eater and is picky about his food. He prefers it when I put some of the Pedigree puppy soft food on top of his dry dog food. Right now he’s on Science Diet puppy food, although normally he’s on Eukanuba puppy food.

The vet had a few beagle puppies herself because her pair of beagles just had 5 puppies in early December. I saw one tricolor female. There were 3 puppies that were two colors, like their mother. I didn’t really want to take a look because I was afraid that I’d make me want to get another beagle, but the vet’s 5 year old son cared the one puppy over for me.

Also at the vet’s was a pug puppy. He was so small compared to Taco and not afraid of him at all. The pug was named James and his owner thought that Taco would get annoyed at the little pug taunting him to play. Taco was really good with the puppy and mostly just watched, although they did start to chase each other a bit. He seemed cautious of the smaller puppy, but very interested in what James was doing.

When we got back home, Taco was pretty pooped from all his adventures that morning. He quickly fell asleep and napped the rest of the afternoon.
