It is a circle of elastic and fabric called a garter. Garters used to be needed on each leg to hold up silk stockings before pantyhose were invented. Since then it has no useful function. In the days when women wore only long dresses and skirts, it used to be considered quite a turn-on for a man to see enough leg to view the garter on her thigh! This is why there is the tradition of the man making a ceremony of reaching up his brideâs leg to get the garter.
Puppies raised by a reputable breeder or obtained through a shelter normally will have had their first shots before you get them, but typically your puppy should get his first shots when he is between six and eight weeks of age.
Rabies is done between 12 weeks and 6 months for the first time. The other shots should have been started at 6 weeks and regular boosters. Take her to the vet.sker's rating. Report Abuse. The dog gets a series of 3 or 4 combination shots, starting at 8 weeks old, and then 4 weeks later, and 4 weeks later (and sometimes one more). The rabies shot timing will depend on your local laws, generally it's given at the time of the last shot (so about 4 months), or at about 6 months.
