Everything went really well with getting Bijou to me. I live in California so she was shipped to me last Saturday. I was very impressed with how well they had set everything up for her to travel.  I’m sure it was pretty traumatic for her to suddenly be exposed to so many different sounds and smells, but they made it as comfortable and safe for her as they could.  They had frozen sugar water for her just in case of Hypoglycemia (which you know can be a problem for Poms that are put under a lot of stress).  They had checked Bijou and didn’t expect this to be a problem, but it was a good precaution.  They had attached small bowls to the crate for food and water and there were plenty of torn newspapers so she arrived clean and dry.

Bijou has settled right into our home. She seems to take most things without showing any signs of stress. She shakes a little when she first is carried into somewhere new, but then settles down and starts playing.  She lets anyone hold her without showing any stress.  Carrie had told me that she was around a lot of people because Carrie owns two Hotels.  I think that did a lot to help Bijou not to be overwhelmed by new things.  By the time we got home, she was kissing us and playing with us as if she had been with us forever.

As far as health goes, I took Bijou to our vet first thing Monday morning and she was given a clean bill of health.  She had no flees, had already had two rounds of puppy vaccinations and showed no other signs of problems. I will have her microchipped, but not until she is a bigger. It would be too painful now.

All in all, I could not be more pleased.  Feel free to contact me again if you have any other questions.
