I understand your desire to have them home. It is very important to have them come home in good health. If not, there will be many vet visits, which can be a lot of money, so much worry over your babies. It may be delayed but will be better if they don't come to their Mom until they are perfectly healthy.
I adopted a puppy from a shelter. We always assume everything is okay at that point. She came home with a skin condition that required many vet visits and medications. Of course she got all the care she needed. If it was needed now it would be hard, I don't have that kind of energy. She has never had any health problems since, she is laying right beside me 13 years later. She goes to the vet once a year for her physical, medications and teeth cleaning.
.. boy, are you going to have some catching up to do... have a lovely time
My friend still lives in our old neighborhood, about 600 miles from here, where I l now. She has relatives around the country, and was passing through on her way home from visiting her sister. We plan on keeping in touch, now that we have found each other. She sees her sister a few times a year, so we are looking forward to her next stop over in my area.
. and I've got a ton of frozen food...
