Breaking news!

My babies have started opening their eyes today! They look a little funny because they will open one first and so they look as if they are winking at you. Little Chloe and Shelley have one eye open and Henri looks as if his are going to open any minute! So no pictures for a day or 2 to keep their little eyes safe!

Wednesday update

We went to the vet yesterday to get my stitches out - I only had one left in! Dr. Taylor doesn't know if I took them out or the puppies and I don't know either! Mommy has started mixing in canned puppy food with my dry food and I like that a lot better. Feeding 7 puppies is hard work! They are all growing very fast except Corky. She is steadily gaining weight, but just not as fast as the others. Once she gets on puppy food she will take off I am sure! She is just so little that she has a hard time with all of the competition. Mommy has me feed her often by herself and that helps her.

Mommy has a few new pictures of my darlings, but not any yet of everybody as individuals. She will have to do that tonight because they are really looking unique. Some of them have the cream on their face or ears that is really cute. And Spot still has his spot on his back. Henri and Spot are really cute and they don't have new families yet. Everybody else is spoken for.

Now that my stitches are out Mommy is going to give me a bath too! I look funny with the shaved spot on my leg where they put the IV in for the C-section, but it will grow back.

More soon!

Wednesday update

No new pictures yet, but they are all growing quickly! The littlest one gained 2 ounces in one day! And they are starting to show their little personalities already. I was tired today so Mommy and I slept in while she had a snow day. I just fed puppies and slept. Now tonight I am taking it easy on a soft bed while my babies sleep. Mommy is about to give me another bath - I cant stand to be dirty or smelly!

Mommy says that there are already 4 families who have chosen one of my darlings! She is very careful about who she picks to be life long caretakers of my babies so I am confident they will all be happy and healthy!

Pictures this weekend of each puppy as an individual!

At home already growing!

Well I am back at home with all my 7 babies and very happy to be here! I am feeling good and getting around really well. All of my babies are eating well and growing. The littest ones, Corky and Shelly are 4.5 ounces with Topsy at 7.5 ounces. There are 4 girls and 3 boys. I got a bath this morning and I feel so much better! Here are some pictures of our darlings.

the puppies are here!

I had one puppy fairly easily last night around 2:20, but Mommy took me to the vet and I had to have a C-Section. One little puppy had her head turned sideways and was only presenting one paw. Dr. Taylor and Mommy thought that the puppy was dead and so they hurried to save me and the other puppies with a C section. ALL of the puppies are alive. The littlest one who was caught is weak so Mommy is feeding her along with the puppy nursing. When I woke up after my surgery - Mommy brought my puppies to me and I started washing them right away!

So sleep and rest for today. After a sponge bath Mommy will take some pictures tomorrow. We are all really tired.

Oh- 4 girls and 3 boys! All very cute!

Still waiting!

Still no babies yet! Mommy and I went to see Dr. Taylor on Tuesday, and she said another day or two. My temperature seems to be dropping, and I am very restless tonight. I don't feel like nesting yet, which is one of the surest signs! I had better plan labor very carefully, because Mommy has to go to work tomorrow. So it is either tonight or wait until 4:30 tomorrow afternoon! Most of us have had our babies in the middle of the night. My second litter is the only time Mommy has had pups come during the daytime. So hopefully I can either hurry up or slow down ha ha!

My family is more nervous than I am! I know that these babies are going to come when they are good and ready!

Keep watching for updates!

Is delivery close at hand?

I think that delivery is getting very close now........I am staying very close to Mommy or my box and I had a long episode of panting (which usually signals labor). So Mommy thinks tonight or tomorrow. She isn't feeling good herself so I hope that I can have these puppies quick and easy just like Dr. Taylor said! Mommy will take pictures of my new babies as soon as I am feeling ok after all of them. More later?
