Sorry, I some how missed these post until just yesterday. Just got caught up on all the reading. Puppies are absolutely adorable. So much puppy cuteness. So glad Callie came through and is back to herself. Looking forward to watching your puppies grow.

:( I was too busy to get pics.

I did get weights though because they are on their first round of dewormers. They range from the lil runt that we call "PT" short for pocket toli ;) at just over 6 1/2 lbs to the largest at just under 10 lbs the majority are 8 3/4- 9 1/2. All good.

We have had a rough few days with Callie. Today she has gone down twice. Tonight she is very bad... the pups are now completely seperated as they are too much with her issues and are so big they are just wearing the poor girl down. They are on food(moistened) and they drink water so it looks like they will get mom 1x day so she doesn't get mastitis but not so much she will crash.

Sending in blood work tomorrow.
She is making me nervous tonight.:hit

Callie crashed we are working on her and are in contact with vet... giving injections, taking temp every hour.

Why do these things happen in the middle of the night?

:hugsSo sorry to hear that Callie is relapsing to the difficulties she experienced right after birthing. :( I truly hope with your attention and care, and her will to pull through, that she will do just that. Is this a continuation of the calcium issues or something else? Whatever it is, I hope it can be rectified swiftly and not affect her future or any potential future breeding attempts. Maybe next time you should limit her to only 6-8 pups? (a little levity)... Hope she's OK. Take care of yourself too Lady.

Today the pups are 4 weeks. They have discovered they have teeth! :D Every once in a while we need to rescue a pup from the mouth of another. Those teeth are sharp! Doesn't feel good to the pup that is having his ear or paw chomped down on.

The wrestle and tussle and growl and play. The cutest thing is when they come up and put their paw on you.

Can I say LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :love :love :love

My children seem to all love the Dark Pinto. Almost everyone's favorite. There are a few that are super chill and a few that are a real handful.

This week will be weaning week. They are eating mash (ground up dog food, goats milk, cereal) but will move to chopped dry food.
Callie will be happy as she is struggling a bit to keep up with their demand. I think if the litter would have been smaller these pups would be 12 lbs already. They are all growing well. No complaints.

As soon as my 9 moth pup Elisa is out of the kennel pen (she is in heat) I will move them outside! :celebrate

Pics in the next few days... :D


Oh yeah, puppy teeth....razor sharp...imagine....I loved our puppies piles when I was breeding Schips....miss those balls of fur and energy....if I could keep them all I would...but thankfully others wanted to enjoy as well!!
Enjoy those fur babies and send more pics so we can live vicariously through them!!
