 Bonney had the puppies :)
I first posted on here Feb 12 that I thought our Bonney was pregnant. Yesterday with help from many we had 5 puppies. 3 girls and 2 boys. All are doing excellent we have seen in 24 hours weight gain of at least 1/4 oz in one and 1/2 oz in two, the two others are at 3/8 oz (we converted to grams on the second weighing in order to get a more accurate read). The pic is of her whelping tote (got a large tote, installed a pig rail utilizing 1 1/2 inch pvc 2 1/4 inches from bottom of the tote to the bottom of rail. You can see the puppy box to the right of the tote where I put puppies to be safe when she was having another. Big thank you to Judy (lady of rose hill) for all her suggestions, Carmen from NJ and many others. Took a concentrated effort to get up to speed for a whelp, reading books, exchanging with experienced breeders. Probably bought more than I needed to buy (as evidenced by the tower of supplies to the right), but better to have than need at 4 in the morning was my thought train. Again thanks to many for their concerned comments about Bonney and puppies. |
