Now Three Videos
This photo is what she does when she leaves the xpen to eat or drink or do her duty. She covers them up and tucks them in.
One video is when she was unbrushed and one was after brushing. See you don't just get to see the pretty photos though I feel it is a reflection on me so I do try. There are times to brush and times not to. Its only been less than 2 days since she has had pups. One of the videos was a tad jerky. Looks strange but it is the video camera. We set the camera up so I can still groom and watch. That is important. If at 3am Dennis is watching the pups and I wake up I can sneak a peek but don't tell him that. :-)
I will get better at this - honest. You will notice at the end of one she was bunching up the blankets. When she gets out of the pen to eat or to take a drink she tries to cover them up. This is the instinct of a good mom but I may have to glue the blankets down. hahahaha
Good news Panda is in the pack so she will be going home to her Momma tonight. When gals are in heat they are segregated off from the boys. It's a lot of work to make sure they get the play, the balance but not have any accidental breedings. Panda wanted all boys. She was a riot.
Be sure to check out the 2 earlier blog entries on the pups that include individual photos in a gallery of the pups.
Plus here's a bonus video - an exhausted Jeannie feeding her pups. It seems after being in awe with her beauties she is now dead asleep. I was wondering when she would allow herself to sleep. She's been up more than anything being extra attentive. Guess she now trusts that she can sleep and this human will help if needed.

I very much enjoyed these two videos and did notice the bunching up of the blanket. Amazing to watch. Jeannie does look very happy.
Yes she is protective and tucks them in. Have to laugh. She really is delighted with these beings. You hold your breath. You suspect. You hear other breeders that have bred and mom doesn't want to be with them. I am blessed. I have never had that experience.
What a great Momma she is.. so wonderful to watch. Thanks for sharing!
Love watching the videos - Jeannie is sooooo good with her pups
I'm amazed that the pups are feeding while she is sleeping. She needs her rest and obviously feels comfortable enough to sleep soundly. Wonderful to watch.
Poor Jeannie, she is exhausted. Hard work bringing 3 beautiful souls into the world. Rest well, little darling.
So cute that she tucks them safely in their blanket ! What a good momma !
Darlah - I am so impressed with everything you have done for Jeannie these last few days. You are amazing! And the puppies are adorable. What a fabulous blog. Love it! Liz
