Extra Blog


Here is a gallery.

Tomorrow we will go back to once a day. We just weighed the pups. Last one born gained 1/8oz and the rest from 3/8oz to 5/8oz. Usually they do lose 24 to 48 hours. But she must have lots of milk for 7 pups to all gain. Bravo momma Hallie and puppies. 

New videos are up. I tried to take one of them feeding and upclose.

Not Yet 12 Hours Old

Pups are doing really well and so is Hallie. Our Bell guy has departed. I have dogs to groom when Nathan gets up before Dennis heads to sleep. 

Here is a mini gallery.

I think I may have all the videos up. I have to check.

Puppies are Here: 7 Beauties

1st a boy born at 1211am and he weighs 6-7/8oz 197g. He is a brown and white.

2nd is a girl all dark brown with a thin white blaze on chest. She weighs 5-7/8oz 168g

3rd one was born at 1253am. It's a boy. He is brown and beige. He may end up being a tri. He weighs 6-6/8oz 193g

The 4th one is a boy. He is the largest so far weighing in at 8-2/8oz 234g. He was born at 112am. He appears to be a chocolate already.

The 5th one is a boy. He was born at 130am. He is indeed a chocolate and white sable. He weighs 7-1/8oz 203g

The 6th born is yet another boy and he is the smallest so far. He was born at 222am. He weighs 5-4/8oz 157g He has the most white on him and he is brown and white. Looks like yet another chocolate.

Here is the gallery. Still waiting to see if we have 7 pups. Videos will have to wait till I am alive. Sorry.

7th was born at 4am. It's yet another boy. He weighs 6oz 171g. He is another chocolate with beige front paws. I went to bed at 330am thinking she was done. No video of him as I was not here but Nathan took photos the best he could. He did not wake me up. The new blanket I bought was a mess as he was delivered on that. 

All pups are eating. They all are doing really well. I will try to get the videos uploaded as I can and take a video of the last or all together. We have Bell coming so we will be juggling and I am still trashed. 3 hours sleep is better than no sleep but I need recovery. Nathan is in bed and I suspecy won't be up till he has a full night sleep.

Before the Vet

Click on Photos for Larger View

Here is the gallery after she rolled all over and before the vet. Got to love Hallie and I so do!

Our local vet says she thinks 6. We are waiting to hear from our reproduction vet. I sent a phone photo to our reproduction vet as our local vet has yet to send us the xray.

As soon as they arrive and I hear from our reproduction, I will post the xrays and the approx due date. Just because Hallie was the 1st, doesn't means she will whelp 1st.

She sees 7. 3 skiulls in the back and 4 under the rib cage. I have blankets I am ordering - it's a tradition now to have a new blanket for the pups. They arrive on Friday so hoping we are good till then. It may be as late as Wednesday but she thinks hallie may be the 1st.
