Lovin’ the pups!

Life has been extremely different the past few weeks with the puppies in the house. Lots of sleepless nights making sure they all are getting fed, and getting up to let Mylee out a lot more often, even at night   Everyone is gaining weight by huge amounts, but I’m sure they will start thinning out once their eyes open and they start running around. Mylee is eating more than 6 times her normal amount of food, and is still thin. It is amazing how much it takes out of her to feed all five babies. Harley was finally “allowed” to come near the box to see what all the fuss is about. He doesn’t take much interest in the babies. In fact, he just sniffs them and tries to hide!! It is quite amusing. Here are some shots just taken with the dogs and the pups…and friends!!

New pics of the puppies 7/25/09

Here are pictures of the puppies at 12 days old! Their eyes should be opening soon and I will post more photos then.  3 of the puppies have perspective homes and we are just waiting for them to get a little older for people to make their selections. It is looking like the two black pups will be silvers. Can’t guarantee that, but it is looking like it! Also, the partis may be silver and whites!! I haven’t seen many of them, but they are absolutely beautiful! I’ve learned that it is very difficult to photograph these little wiggle worms. Mylee is never happy when I take one of them and she has to come along and get her nose in the pictures too! When I am done, I swear she goes into the box and “counts” them to make sure I put them all back!!

Pictures of the babies 7/17/09

Here are current pictures of the babies. They had their dew claws and tails done yesterday and all did well. The vet was awesome and gave them all shots to numb the area so they did great! They didn’t seem to have any pain at all yesterday! They are all gaining tons of weight and will be opening their eyes soon!! Keep checking back for updates.

Pics of the Babies

Here is group photo of the pups. They were born July 13th, 2009 from 11:50-2:45 p.m. Yeah! No middle of the night delivery!! Way to go Mylee. Mom and pups are all doing well. They ranged in weight from 4.2-7.1 oz. Yes, that big black boy had a hard time entering the world, but we got him here!! They are all darling.

Finally….they are here!!

Mylee’s pups were born today, July 13, 2009!! We have 5 of the most adorable, tiny babies. We have 2 black and white parti girls, 1 solid black girl, 1 black and white parti boy, and one BIG black boy with a white chest and some white toes on his back feet! Yes, he was the one stuck in the birth canal and sent my adrenaline flying into fight or flight mode.  Krystal said she is going to call him Bear! However, they are all doing well and happily nursing as we speak. I will get pictures up as soon as possible!! Happy Birthday Puppies!! Thanks to Cheryl for her phone support and Krystal, Joy and Jaime for their help at home while the pups made their grand entrance!

Still Waiting for Pups

While we are impatiently waiting for the pups to arrive, Harley and I had a photo shoot. He loved the “treats” that went along with taking pictures. The holding still thing, however, was a completely different story…I needed 8 arms!

Mylee’s puppy’s first pictures!

We went to the vet today and found 5 skeletons on the xrays. We are so excited to know how many babies we will be having this weekend!! We will keep you updated as soon as they are born!

Puppies are here!!!!!

Some of the puppies are here!!! My friend, Cheryl, has a little 5 lb. parti girl that was bred to Harley. The puppies were born July 4th!! All Girls!!! There are two black and white and, to our amazement, two apricot and white babies. They are all fat and healthy and will be looking for their forever homes when they are 8 weeks old. If you are interested, give us a shout!! They should be around 5-7 pounds full grown!!

How Many Puppies?

Mylee is beyond the word huge. I can’t imagine that she is going to make it one more week…at least! At the end of the week we are planning on getting some xrays done to see just how many little bundles of energy we will be expecting. Yesterday she was snuggled up in bed with me, tummy side up. I had my hand on her tummy and the pups were having a party in there! It was so funny to feel them wiggling around. I don’t know how Mylee sleeps when all that is going on inside her. No wonder she sleeps all day long, they keep waking her up!!  Oh, the joys of motherhood!!
