Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr If I bottle-feed...I get attached.
I kept Lea.
Then I kept my lil Mr Pee Pee boy Roscoe.
He thinks hes a girl and squats..and hes so tiny he wets himself.
BUT if Allie has one like she had last year,
I may just have to..attached or not.
She is just such a beautiful dog...and I made the mistake of selling her :(
How about you?

Hey
 

Hey Miss Nicki...write me at atoosassygal@aol.com
I need to ask you about making a social group for us when the April thread is over....I dont think I can do it...I've tried and tried..but I am not a donating member. And I wrote trying to be without using paypal and no one will get back to me. Breny tried and tried to help me too ..

Awww...poor little Roscoe...lol. Reminds me of Ryder...he squats to pee too...:rolleyes:

Hmmm...I'm not sure. I want to keep ALL of Brooke's lol. I was going to keep her biggest girl (Hailey/Jade), but she pretty much stopped growing like Brooke's last litter did...and I bet you just about anything she won't get big enough to breed...but I'm still undecided on that. Then there's Dallas, who I'm head over heels for...but I don't NEED to keep him really...unless Ryder is too small to breed...yes MAYBE I need him...lol. But I think the lady who has first pick on females is going to pick him...she has fallen in love with him too...I keep hoping nobody will take him lol. I considered keeping Arianna (Mikayla's girl) if SHE gets big enough. I won't keep any of Hadley's, because the girls will never be big enough to breed I bet (Faith is hers...2.5 lbs), and Lola's will probably be small too, although I'd love to keep one of hers eventually. We shall see.

So Dallas MAY stay here if I can help it...and then probably 1 girl from these litters...don't know who yet though. I'll probably hold on to Brooke's and Mikayla's a little while at least. I hate these decisions. lol

Okie dokie :thumbup:

One of the pups is staying with my boyfriend... (so eventually hell be living with me) and the other one my cousin is buying for his wife. they havent decided on which one yet though.

I am not keeping any this time either.I kept one last year and Jeanie will be a year old APril 30th.
I got 7 now and that is a houseful!

Awww that's good...they're both staying close!! :D

yeah.. its kinda nice being that its my first litter... i KNOW ill have a hard time letting them go. and i wont be having any more litters for a while, at least till i find a female.... i had pebbles fixed during the c-section.

There was a girl that used to be a member here. She had 5 pups in her litter. Said she was going to keep ALL OF THEM. I said, "Yeah, right! We'll see about that once they are 8-9 weeks old:D". Guess what???? She kept them ALL!!!!!:D

About week 7 I'd slit my wrists.

I only say that because I'm sitting here with sixteen dogs and haven't slept for two days.
:p

LMAO! You almost made me choke to death:D!

I was thinking...Katelin is short on sleep....LMAO~!:p
Grumpy butt....:p
I Know how you're feeling Hun...:p
Just 2 days?!?!?!? No way...what about all the nights we were up and down checking on our mamas BEFORE whelping...

Oh don't feel bad...you just wait till May...I'm going to be in much worse shape than you lol...then you can laugh at me and think, "at least it's not that bad." ;)

Sugar?? Are You Kidding Me?
 

I've got so much respect for Joey's Mom and all of the rest of you who have been working so hard to save your little babies. I just get all the laundry done up and the pens changed and the babies fed and the momma fed, and the poops outside picked up.... and my family has the nerve to want dinner???

Yesterday, after my little stud was bred with a very nice and cooperative little female, he couldn't get his little (big) penis back in the prepuce (skin). He went around for 2 hours and all the lubricant and attempts by us didn't change things. He was swollen and looked like he had a bright red balloon stuck to his stomach.

Well you've heard the commercials about a 4 hour errection and getting to the doctor? So off to the vet we went. We were the joke of the hospital. The techs drew straws to see who was going to take us, and there was a lot of laughter. Poor Jersey had lost all of his dignity!

So here is the deal. If this happens to you and lubricant and pulling the skin doesn't do the trick -- pour granulated sugar on it. Within 30 minutes it will draw the moisture out of the penis and go back to normal. Apparently there is no lasting affect or harm -- IT JUST MAKES SYRUP!!! (EWWWWWWW!)

No wonder I'm a grumpy butt. :p

that is such a funny story....we are hoping to breed Smokey soon so that is a good thing to know....but still funny as heck...i bet you had grown men nearly crying from laughing.....lol

Nursing Moms
 

I have read that the most stressful time for the nursing mother is the 2nd and 3rd weeks after the puppies are born. Do any of you change your mom's food or change the feeding routine during this time??

I'm still feeding a mix of wet food and puppy kibble, whelping pudding, cottage cheese, boiled chicken, chicken broth, and a little Karo syrup in her water (just a touch). Anything else you recommend?

hope all mommys and puppies are doing well!!

pebbles pups just keep getting bigger! they went to the vet to get their tails docked and dew claws removed yesterday. they did awesome... barely even cried.

they are now up to 9.6 and 9.4 oz! at 6 days old. my and the vet both agreed they must be part rottweiler! lol

Mine went today.
I held off an extra day, mine were so little yet.
Glad everyones doing well.

Katelin, I just keep feeding them what you are pretty much
Just make sure they have it available at ALL times,
They need more as the puppies grow

OMG this is so funny
But a good thing to know.
Roscoe ....my almost 3 lb pee pee boy said to tell you he has a big penis too :)
He shows NO interest in breeding at over a year old.
Maybe someday

Poor Jersey...he got made fun of...:(

There's chaos in my house tonight too. Brooke's puppies got their shots and MAN were they MAD! :eek::rolleyes:

Hadley is getting closer...the poor baby...she had a rough night last night...I think they were really kicking her.

So is Lola, she has a nice little prego belly on her now. I'm thinking she'll have 2 babies...but we'll see. ;)

Arianna is still growing, getting fatter every single day. Kayla PEED on her this morning though!!! :eek: I thought I would DIE I was so upset with her!!!

So that's my updates...:D

I'm so happy to hear that my house isn't the only one that runs amuck on a regular basis!

Jersey wears a belly band now, but he is always lifting his leg to pee on the women in his family. He just wants everyone to know who belongs to him. The girls are NOT amused. :p

lol...you made me spew my drink...that's the best thing I've heard all day!! :D

Belly Pics
 

Here is Miss Hadley...still truckin...;):D

Day 58...I think...:rolleyes:

Nicki, is that a puppy that I see in the first pix on her right side?? Or just her rib line. Wow, she looks ready to go. Good luck...:)

Finally I have something to update
 

Chizzie is either in labor or in pre-labor. She is restless, panting, digging, and generally agitated.

Right now she is in bed under the covers - the pups are moving down and getting ready for the big trip out. Will update as the day goes on -- since I'm stuck in bed until the pups come, I'll be in the chat room giving updates -- so please join us if you have a chance.

Update
 

Macey had her temp drop last night:

10:30 pm - 97.9
5:30am today - 98.2
9am today -99.0


This morning she was very restless about 5>30am - panting like crazy. I got up with her and took her to my whelping room and we've been here ever since.

I fed her breakfast and she thrw it all up.

At 5:30am I was up making whelping pudding. I used the cooked vanila pudding, sugar, milk, and egg yokes. The sugar is ok for them???

Right now she's resting by my side. No signs of contractions.

Sugar is okay breny. Mine never wanted it during a whelp I would not let her have too much though but enough to keep up her energy if needed
A day whelp for you Yipee!!:thumbup: Prayers for a smooth whelp .Keep us posted.

WIll be checking for updates do not know how to get into chat never done it?
GOod luck for a smooth whelp
