Thanks to everyone for the nice comments, now i can just enjoy reading all of your post on the new ones
Mom & babies are all doing good little bellys full as can be she is being such a good little mom & this is her first time.

JeanneK you ask me a question on another thread about the lady keeping 2 out of 3 puppies that her dog fed after mine did not wake up from a c-section, the answer is yes she did, but i think she really needed the money since they own a McDonalds in the next town Lol

Destiny is actually due the same time as Livi, January 16. She has got quite the tummy on her already and seems to be growing bigger each day.

I just had a litter of two pups a day ago so we are enjoying puppies now.

I wasn't planning on having two litters so close together but Harmony was 2 months late in coming in heat and Destiny was a month early. It just worked out that way.
I guess they wanted to share the experience together as mother and daughter.

You will be very busy, but how fun having two litters to raise!

WOW Jeanie! Ollie is due after Livi and she sounds like she is bigger than her. Livi has gained 2 more oz. but she seems to have kind of slowed. I am thinking that she will have 3 like last time.

How are your mommies acting/feeling? Livi has done NOTHING but sleep...this is how she has been the whole 6 and a half weeks. Also, she pretty much stopped wanting to eat shortly after being bred. She normally loves her ACANA food, but we had to start being creative to get her to eat now. I just really hope that her eating doesn't become even more difficult in the next couple of weeks. Last litter she didn't become picky with her food until closer to her due date....this has definitely been more of a challenge.

Aw, poor little mama!! I hope she keeps her appetite up as well. Have you tried adding chicken and rice to the food? Mine love it when I add it.

Destiny is the exact opposite of Livi. Very playful and other than the first week or two of pregnancy she has a great appetite even right before pups come.

I wish that Livi was like Destiny! Literally, Livi ONLY wants to rest. We have tried giving her chicken...she turned her nose up at it.

The only thing that we have been able to figure out is adding canned food to her ACANA. Even wth this, she only lasts a few days with a particular brand of the canned...then we are back to trying to figure out another one that she will eat. Luckily, she has had no tummy upset with all of this. It has been sooooo challenging!!

JeanieK · 12-30-2009, 09:22 AM

Ollie sleeps a lot too and went a couple of weeks with little appetite, which might be the cause of so much sleeping. Now her appetite has picked up.

Tammy for the final 2 weeks of pregnancy I feed mine cottage cheese and a half bolied egg twice a day, and puppy food. The last two weeks they seem to eat non stop.

Does anyone know of a heating pad, but one that doesn't require it to be plugged in? I found this but it is not big enough or flat enough:

Any suggestions?

I use the snuggle safe and love them!! I have two and will never be without them again. New born pups always climb over and lay on these. I put it under their blanket and arrange it to where it is a flat surface and easy for them to get to. They are a little small for older pups but they still manage to use them as they seem to heat the surrounding area as well.

Did you see the stuffed doggie and kitty that you can order for these? I have the dog and use it for the older pups and they love it. You stick the snuggle safe inside it and it keeps it warm. The dog is big so plenty big enough for them to lay on even older plus it keeps them nice and toasty. Just an idea if you are worried about the size.

How about one of those self warming beds? I've used those before as well and they work good too.

Hope this helps some.

Thank you so much!! Do you know if the self warming one heats as well as an actual heating pad? I still worry that it doesn't look flat enough. Maybe I am just so stuck with the picture of what Livi's newborns looked like last time. I just keep thinking about how tiny they were and I worry that they could tumble off these pads...of course, they were only 2oz. at birth so maybe a puppy with a bit more size would do better with these. ??

Thanks!!

How are your puppies doing? Have you posted recent pictures of them?

blancla · 12-31-2009, 04:55 PM

I haven't posted recent pics yet, but will probably tomorrow. By the way, they are doing great. Will be 7 weeks old on Saturday. They are keeping me very busy.

Hello,
I don't think I've posted before,but I have been trying to breed my 3 1/2 year old Abby for her last 3 heats with no luck. The owner of the stud had used DR. Roys stud and bitch fertility product. Her bitch also had issues getting pregnant. Both times she used this prouct she would get healthy litters.Then if she didn'nt use it no litter.I have to say this stuff works Abby is 3 1/2 and due any day with her first litter.
I am beyond excited.............I have been reading and watching the whelping process for years ...hoping each breeding would be a sucess. I have a Dogging medical bag packed with anything I might need.....I go over board with my yorkies (I have another little girl 7 months old)
Anyways yes I have a litter due any day.
Wish use luck it's our first time.
Laurie
