Mimi the Papillon

Little Mimi is adjusting well in her new home… 

We just got back from visiting the vets and my parents house.  I stopped by Petsmart to get some rawhide called “Buddy Sticks”, as recommended by the breeder.  She loves those sticks and it helps with the chewing tendencies.The only thing I told the vet was that she scratches every now and then, as if she has fleas or something.  I never saw any fleas, and neither did the vet.  She said it was normal puppy behavior. The only thing that is a tiny worry is that the vet said her gums were a little pale.  She said that it might be because she was really nervous.  I’ll check them later to see if they are more pink.  [Edit: they are looking very pink and normal now.] She also told me to socialize her as much as possible.  That’s why I went straight to my parents house, because just adore her to pieces.  She needs to get used to as many people as possible.
