What was I thinking?
 

So I stupidly picked up a shift for someone today and about an hour into it I get a call from my husband telling me he just walked into the house to find Zoe delivering her last baby?! WTH...she went early last time and is now due on wed...I am not sure why I would be working...Ty said that she wouldn't go near her whelping box and wanted nothing to do with the babies. I just think she was freaking out because I was with her last time. So I get home after doing my share of the speed limit~and then some. Gave Zoe a bit of ice cream, clipped the umbilical cord...still attached to the sac off one baby. Mind you, DH and oldest son did their best at turning on the heating pad but the babies were cold. So...I am thinking she had them between 11-12..still has yet to stay in the whelping box long enough to nurse...more interested in me than the babies. Hopefully this will change soon enough!

It was pretty neat to see my skinny Zoe as I flew the door. You could tell she was trying to tell me something. She led me to the places she had them(one next to the bed, one under the bed, one in the whelping box) you could almost see the expression of where were you...let me show you what happened. She is currently at my foot...so, I am hoping she soon takes interest in the puppies...like feeding them!

Anyway, for the good news!

We now have three little ones..again, two boys and one girl. I am assuming the girl was the leader..she is 4.8 oz! First boy is 4.6 oz and my tiny one is 3.6 oz...yay!!!!

I will try to get pictures later on once they've warmed up and been fed.

congrats! :)
good to hear hubby came to the rescue! :D
will check back for pics....... any names yet?

Congrats on the new pups

Thank you! Mom has yet to feed...I can't remember how long it took her last time...my experienced breeders ~ how long should I wait until I handfeed?

im no help.. sorry..



BUMP. :)

Okay...so maybe my husband is right about my being a worry wart...I went down to Petco (about 30 minutes one way) and bought some formula since I didn't have any on hand...$35 come home and Zoe is feeding the kiddos...:p what can I say...better safe than sorry right?

Sounds like all is well now:p Awwwwww:congrats:
Paula:D:yorkiesar:happyboun

Congrats:D
im so glad momma and babies are doing well!

oh my congrats! i hope everything is well!

Thank you! Thank you! Yes all is well! Everyone has eaten, has full bellies, pooped up a storm...yes, all is well! I am exhausted so going to bed here pretty quick!

Congratulations! yay, babies! :D i am sorry you missed it, but that is so cute that she was showing you where all the babies were and looking at you like "where were you!?" i am glad that everyone is doing well. :D

It was wild to know that she was "communicating" with me. She would lead me to the spot and then turn around and go to the next spot. She is such a good mom! Just doting away on these babies!

aww....that is SOOOOOO cute! aww...i wish i can see. :)
i wanted to breed milu so i can see her have cute babies. but she's too small, and i don't know anything about breeding. so she is spayed....
i wish i can see a dog have babies! i have never seen anyone have babies EVER! i am so jealous of you!!! lol:p

Congratulations on the new babies!

Congratulations on the 3 new little ones!

That is such a neat story of how Zoe communicated with you about the babies' whereabouts and giving you the look about not being there. As much as mine need to be where ever I am, I could see Halle being the same way when she has pups some day. I'm glad everything turned out well. You rest up........I'll be back again to see pics.
