Yalee's litter of 4
 

Hi, guys- I guess its time to move over this way from the breeder section.

So our story goes like this- Yalee is the daughter of my little boy, & she just turned 3 yrs old on December 27th, we bred Yalee 3 times, Dec 22nd, 23rd & 24th, on day 55 she went to the vet & we determined we were going to have 5 puppies, well starting on Friday, Feb 18th throughout the day she was panting more than usual & wouldnt stop nesting, at around 11ish at night, hubby noticed the contractions getting harder & harder, finally we had out 1st puppy on Saturday, Feb 19th @ 1239AM, by 6AM Yalee had delievered 4 puppies & she was trying to push out the last one (I thanked God, I was responsible enough to go to the vet & do a Xray!) & she couldnt- At 745AM, we headed to the vets office where they did her xrays & we did see the last puppy, so they had to induce her & hope she pushed out the puppy, finally at 11ish AM she finally did but he/she was already gone, I didnt care- I already had 4 beauties at home & momma was now safe & thank god didnt need a C-section. She came home & as soon as I brought the puppies to her & got them to latch, mommy instincts hit right away. So here's what we got:

Baby #1- Girl 5.4 ounces > wk 1 9.5 ounces
Baby #2- Boy 5.5 ounces > wk 1 9.7 ounces
Baby #3- Girl 6.2 ounces > wk 1 12 ounces
Baby #4- Boy 5.7 ounces > wk 1 9.3 ounces

We turn 14 days today (Saturday) & my 1st born already has 1/2 of one eye open, so hopefully its any day now. Ill be back soon with more updates, thanks everyone for all the amazing words you gave me in the breeder section... I know I am keeping one so far & in love with another, hubby isnt too happy but hey- they are MINE! So we have the youngest boy & girl going to an amazing home the week of mothers day. :)

WOW what cute babies congrats :)

UPDATE: I am happy to announce that we are opening up eyes, Lea Jade- my oldest has both eyes open, & the next two have one eye open & finally our youngest he's still getting there, none of them yet. Ill keep ya posted!!!

Wk 2 weights
 

So we are turning into little monsters... here are the weights for Week 2:

#1 Girl- 12.9 ounces
#2 Boy- 15.4 ounces
#3 Girl- 1lb 2 ounces
#4 Boy- 14.3 ounces

I guess its safe to assume they will be well over 1 lb next week, hopefully once they start walking & becoming active they will lose a little of the weight. I took plenty of pics these last 2 days, I will update the album tomorrow.

Thanks for checking in!

They are growing up so fast and they have eyes now!!!! Hard to believe it has already been 2 weeks. The pictures are adorable!!!! Can't wait to see them when they get a little bigger. They are going to be beautiful.

What a week... Puppies are all doing wonderful, except one- our last born lil boy is sick, from what the vet says he may have Aspiration pneumonia, he started at 6pm Tuesday night, by midnight he seemed to be doing worse so we took him to the ER, & they said thankfully it wasnt kennel cough but maybe something viral, when i took him to my own vet the next morning thats when she assumed that maybe he drank milk & it went down the wrong pipe or something to that nature... they checked mommy for that mammary-something, I guess to check for bad milk, she was fine. They have him on Clavamox twice a day, his coughs this morning seem a little better but still. he is eating & becoming a fat lil boy like he should be.

They will be 3 weeks tomorrow & they are all well over a lb each. Other than that they are great, I havent taken many pics this week b/c of everything we're going through but I def will get some 3 week old pics in tomorrow...

I know we're ok, but the power of prayer is priceless, so if we can have a small little prayer for him, Id appreciate it!!! Ill b in touch!

So sorry about the ill puppy. I hope he gets perfect health soon and the family keeps getting chubby! :) Please let us see some pics of those babies. :D

How is Chunky Monkey doing now??? Sure broke my heart to hear he wasn't feeling well. Hopefully the medicine is working now and he is getting stronger.

Can't wait to see the new pics and get updates on how great they are doing!!

he is doing great... I will post pics tomorrow. We are all growing & playing, I am crazy in love with them, this is going to be so hard when its time to go to homes... anyhow will update soon.

Loved all the new pictures!!! They are so cute!!!!!!! Glad to hear he is doing much better. I know....it will be hard to let them go. At least so far I have 2 staying close by so I can see them all the time. Still working on the other 2.

Not much to update... I have been sick this week, but we finally finished Chunky Monkey's medicine & the dr says he's good to go... our 3rd born, 2nd female (biggest girl of the group) finally hit 2 lbs today... what a monster... Chunky Monkey is still 1lb 7 ounces, we havent weighed everyone else b/c the scale I have is a little too small for them.

Also- we have started on the goats milk & mush, everyone is chowing down cept my little man, Chunky Monkey, I keep assuming his a couple days behind from the rest since he's so little, so Im hoping he likes the food soon, if not we'll have a picky eater! I will try to update the album soon... Thanks!

So glad to hear that things are a little better...keep us posted.:D

Congrats on the new litter of puppies! The Pics are great... looks lilke they are gaining well and are doing good. Hope the little one is all better.
