Tiah's Big Belly Picture 3 Attachment(s) Here is Tiah's big belly....she is due on the 21st but will probably have them on the 18th. Soooo......3 days to go!!!!! Cowboy is the daddy. I'll attach a picture I took of him yesterday. The other picture is of Britt and Tiah yesterday. I have kept most of Tiah's hair cut off for the Summer months and will let it grow after the pups are born. My mother-in-law actually had a healthy pup strangle in the Mamma's long hair. I also have Tiah's belly cleared of hair and ready for nursing:) . |
Can't wait to here news of the babies arrival. Do you know how many pups there are? Thanks for the warning about the long hair, I've never heard of that happening and I'm one of these that it kills to shave the hair just around the nipples, but you're right it will grow back. I knew the hair was messy and an inconvenience, but didn't realize it could be a health threat! |
Oh my...you may have a fun weekend ahead of you! Now, Tiah is _______ to Mercedes? Mom? I forget.:rolleyes: |
Lacy's Mom, Glad I could forewarn you. That wasn't the only time I heard of it happening. Actually my MIL knew it was a hazard too and actually had her female cut back....only leaving the hair long on the chest/neck area. That is where the little pup went to snuggle and ended up dying. So very sad. I didn't get Tiah x-rayed, but gosh, she looks like she could have 6-7 pups. I was going to take her, but the x-rays are usually off....they usually say "we can see 3, but there could be more". Not very helpful when it is making sure there isn't a retained one that worries me so much. She is doing great or I would reconsider it. It will be Cowboy's first litter. I haven't had a litter in a year and a half and am soooo excited!!! BamFan, Tiah is Mercedes Mamma. |

Oh NO, not in THIS house!:Puppy2: LOL |
BamFan, How is Trixie? I was so very nervous about Tiah's belly being bigger than ever until I saw Trixie's belly....their belly's look VERY similar to me. |
Tiah is beautiful. Hope she has an easy time when the time comes. Good luck and can't wait to see those beautiful babies.:) |
How exciting!! Do you know how many puppies she is having?? Dawn |

Shaved her belly a few days ago, so you can see it really well now. I will take a pic or two when I get home and post them...or beg V to if I can't figure out how.:( :rolleyes: Tiah, from the looks of the pics, is still smaller than she is from the looks of it. And we still have a week left!:eek: |
Tiah's belly looks cute! Can't wait to see the pups!! |
Tiah looks gorgeous with her big belly!! |
any pups yet??? |
Libby does NOT want Teddy around! Teddy came home today and Libby got real nervous and growled at him. She would not settle back down with her pups til I locked him in a bedroom upstairs. I guess I will have to send him back to my girlfriend's house for a few days. Will she be like this until the pups are gone? |
Why do you think she'll have them today if she is due the 21st? Is there a full moon or something I need to be aware of? LOL I have pups due on the 22nd, so if we're going to have them early, guess I better get prepared. :) Good luck with your litter. Quote:

Peccata It just depends on the dog, but there was a post recently about another female killing a litter so it's probably better if only the Mom has access to the pups for now. My male acts terrified of the puppies and won't go anywhere near them so I don't do anything special in my case. I also have a younger female that was very interested in the pups. When they were about 4 weeks old the Mom started to relax and let her kiss them. They are now almost 8 weeks and the younger female is the best babysitter ever, especially since Mom growls at them since she is trying to wean them and they are eating on their own. |

2 Attachment(s) Dazzlin, yes, she has done it in the past. Also, there is a small window there of how many days of gestation. Another window of when it actually "took". She's just soooo darned big that I assume it took the very first day. However, she ate all of her food right away and she usually backs down from it the day she is going to deliver. Peccata, my girl (and my Mom's 3) all turn into little Vipers and won't let ANY other dog near their puppies. Don't let any animals near so as not to stress out Libby. As mentioned, some animals (espeically raccoons) will kill their young to "protect" them from other animals harming them. I took another picture of Tiah today....she looks like "Look Mamma, I'm gonna have babies"....she is bigger than she looks in the photos. It is so hard to get good pictures of her....as soon as she sees the camera, she puts her ears down. I've even tried waiting it out....she's pretty stubborn. As soon as I take the camera away, she's back to her happy self. |
Bless her...she's gonna blow! I know that look very well.:( |
GOTCHA! Hey after I asked that question, I checked the phases of the moon, and we are actually going into a new moon, it will be full blown on the 22nd.. so if you believe in that "stuff"...we may be having puppy fest on here by the 23rd..LOL I had a girl go VERY early from a really bad thunder storm, the babies were about 4-5 days preemie, and had to be held on a nipple every 2 hours for the first 5 days, it was terrible, but thankfully they made it and are doing great. We're having storms again today, so hoping we don't have a repeat performance coming on. Julz - how big is your girl pre-pregnancy? And how much weight has she gained? My girl looks like her belly is about the same size, she was 5 lbs 3 ounces pre-preggo, and is now 6 lbs 8 ounces.. so thinking WOW bless her heart. I have to say I'm jealous of these dogs quick gestation, I am currently 84 days away from whelping my own little litter of one, and I wish it would hurry and be OVER!! LOL Quote:

Oh gosh, I don't want premies and I don't want overdues:D ! Tiah weighs a little over 7 pounds non-prego and weighs (YIKES!!!!) 11 pounds right now!!!! I JUST weighed her while typing this post!!! |
WOW! You have a whole football team in there! LOL Keep us posted. Quote:

1 Attachment(s) OK, took this just now. You'll have to excuse the confused, scruffy look. She was half asleep...yes, in this position, and was not at all happy that I was bothering her to take this picture just now.:p |
