Havent seen the bottom of my kitchen sink in a few days, been in the back bedroom feeding pups, or on the comoputer trying to learn how to post pics, lol. Time to tackle the kitchen before someone comes to see pups again.

hehe

I totally know what you mean. Hand raising one pup was exhausting! I can't even imagine more!

Don't worry about what the sink looks like, check out the inside of your eyelids! You need strength, so make sure you snatch sleep whenever you can.

My mom raised english bulldogs. When we had to feed for whatever reason we used a shoe box. Cut holes in top just big enough for nipples to fit thru lay box on side put a brick in it then bottles thru hole and put cover on. The pups can nurse just like they would with mom and you can line them up all at the same time. Just have to watch and put them back on nipple if they come off.

As for your easyshare soft ware. Right click on photo hit save as. At bottem of window you can pick re-size for web and they will post easily.

Hope this helps.

I was reading through my blog, seeing if there was anything I'd written that would help you. I thought I'd share a poem I wrote in my delirium.

Who Cares
The laundry is piling up.
Who cares?
The dishes need doing.
Who cares?
The kids have been feeding themselves.
Who cares?
I have not slept for days.
Who cares?
The helpless, blind, weak, very sick puppy who is fighting pneumonia cares.
That's who.

Hopefully, you won't have any issues like pneumonia, but you will be exhausted. I'll be praying, and you can PM me if you need me.

I hope the pneumonia issue doesnt come up, there are two of the little buggers that like to suck too fast. They are the fattest too, lol. I keep having to take the bottle out and let them catch up. Little piggies.

I bought a candle warmer and put my pyrex measuring cup on it, we will see how that works, it has to be better than all those trips to the microwave. Thanks for the advice, you guys rock!

Mommy is doing well, got two staples out today cause they were twisting in her belly, the rest come out next week, she is SO skinny now, hard to imagine a week ago she looked like a little pumpkin.

I started a thread in the nursery to track the puppies (at least till their forever mommies come and get them, at least I get to keep one, yeah!!)
It is Babies born 3-9-09, I have a feeling that they will become very used to having their pictures taken. hehe. Arent we all just so silly over our babies?

Yes, they will be exceptionally well handled and socialized puppies! I am so glad you excited to watch my little yorkie/doberman puppies grow. So keep taking those pictures!

LOL, U SO FUNNY! Seriously, can you even IMAGINE a dobie yorkie mix? I have heard of Dorkies, but that is a weiner dog. Much easier to mount than a doberman.

LOL,
My father had a chihuahua and the neighbors had a st bernard. Of course when the st bernard came into heat the little male would go nuts and try to mate with her. We always joked that if he was ever successful we wanted the puppies! But no, she would always stand up and walk away from him. Talk about frustration! LOL

haha, an apple headed St. Bernard! We have a chihuahua, she looks like the old taco bell dog (remember him?) She is 14 now, and fat, like a little sausage with a head, she tries to mother the puppies. I have a pic here somewhere...dang, its in bitmap form and wont let me upload. Ah, here I go again

jcwuvzu · 03-17-2009, 11:55 AM

I found some pics of the chihuahua hogging all the Mommy Glory! I hope I did this right.

Lou · 03-17-2009, 12:40 PM

What a sweetie! Has she had puppies herself? she sounds like a natural born mommy!

jcwuvzu · 03-17-2009, 01:17 PM

Minnie (the chihuahua) had puppies about 13 years ago. She did everything all by herself, I didnt even know it was happening till I heard squeaking UNDER MY BED!

hehe, She was a fantastic mommy, I guess old habits die hard...

p.s. The father was a chihuahua, not a st. bernard.
