5 day old puppies!

5/17/2013

Well the pups are 5 days old...growing like weeds! A couple of them have hit the 1 pound mark! I had one small one (not really a runt) but she lost weight the first day, but is steadily gaining...She is half the size though of the biggest one in the bunch...

I had several people back out and picked up a few more along the way...So all the puppies are spoken for except this little sweetie...I have all the puppies new owners name their babies except for this little one...

I do not like having any of them unnamed, so since she is 5 days old and has no name, I've decided to name her Sophie! :) If someone snatches her up they are welcome to change it, but for now Sophie it is! Getting ready to start emailing parents a visitation schedule so they can meet their new babies soon...Looks like around Memorial Day weekend...So that should be exciting...If interested in little Sophie, contact me! :)

I think we have started the EARLY stages of labor! We had a normal temp this morning and two hours later the drop! Now at this stage it can go for 12-24 hrs. and then puppies will start coming...WOW, what a mothers day!

We are still on puppy watch...she is day 60 since her first breeding, and has gone on day 61 and 63 with other litters, so anytime now...She is really getting big and puppies are still very active...no drop in her temp yet so keeping a close eye on that...she has not started nesting in her whelping box yet either...so again, we wait... Praying for a safe and quick delivery...

I guess someone is trying to get more comfy! lol She has been very calm the last couple of days...Also today when she went out to potty, she is starting to loose her mucus plug...So I'm not going anywhere...Have to wait for hubby to get home so I can go to the grocery store QUICKLY! He would freak out if she started while I was gone...Good thing for cell phones and it only being a couple minutes down the road...The puppies are so active...really kicking away and rolling her tummy! They love being rubbed, and I think Cloe rather enjoys her belly rubs too...Stay tuned for updates...:)

Well, we have entered the last full week of pregnancy with Cloe...She has been much more snappy with the other dogs than she has with her other pregnancies...But hey pregnant females human or any other species can be testy...So knowing her sweet demeanor normally I just give her a look and call her name and she knows, calm it down...Its quite funny actually...Have been feeling her belly and can now feel the puppies very active and can even make out little legs and round little tops of the heads...very sweet...She has been having her temp taken now for the last few days so watching for the temp drop...Her actual due date is Tuesday the 14th, although she went on day 61 last time which would put that being Mother's Day...

Have plans for a nice Mother's Day with my adult children coming over along with my mother and her dog as well...Should make for a very eventful Mother's Day for the entire family if she decides that is the day she is going to whelp her puppies....So just praying she goes after that day and has a very quick safe and easy delivery of all her pups...Continue to stay tuned to her blog...I did have several people back out, but have already added a few more...So there may be still some room, depending on how many she has...my guess is 7 this time...We shall see...

Poor Cloe...She has been scratching non stop and has dug herself raw in spots...I called the vet and only thing they can recommend is a medicated shampoo...I wanted to give her some relief and it seemed as though her skin was dry...I figured from her skin stretching, shedding, she needed something to help with making her soft and safe for her and the babies...

I know it is non toxic for them and wonderful for their coats, skin and health to give them added to their food organic coconut oil...so instead of adding it to her food, I simply rubbed her belly (hence the reason she looks wet) she has already after two treatments stopped itching and belly is looking so much better...oh the joys of being pregnant! I usually shave her belly fur, but did not get to it this time with the remodeling of her room, so that could be why she has been itching more...

Her milk is coming in now and I can not only hear the babies,I can also feel them moving around in her belly...So she gets regular belly rubs and the babies are talked to...as you can see from this picture most of her belly fur is gone, and my daily vacuuming has increased! ha! cut back on her momma bowls this last part of her pregnancy...Start taking temps on Sat. Stay tuned! :)
