Answer No. 15—Our calling hours are *ONLY* between 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. Our phone numbers are 845-635-9609 and 845-635-9609.

Answer No. 17—Young puppies (typically between the age of 2 weeks, when their eyes open for the first time, and 10-12 weeks) can sometimes appear to be "cross-eyed" and/or have one eye looking straight forward, while the other eye "drifts" to be pointing to one side or the other. Although this may appear to be an "eye-health problem," it's only a reflection that the puppies' eye muscles (which are attached to the eyeballs and allow the pups to look in different directions) are still developing and strengthening. This is actually quite normal, and in the vast majority of instances, the puppy will outgrow this purported "developmental flaw."
