All going well

Well it is day 11 now since the whuppies were born and they are coming on leaps and bounds. All nine have almost trebled their weight and mum is doing fine. Homes have been found for three and two of the girls will stay with us for 6 months until we can decide which is going to stay. Rag is now leaving them for part of the day having fun in the paddock and going out for short walks plus she is eating like a horse to keep all nine whuppies happy and healthy. Their eyes are still not open but that should happen any day soon, some are even getting of their bellies and using their legs they grow sooooooooo quickly. Here are a few photo,s taken over the past week.

Nine Little Indians

Here are a couple of pictures taken yesterday of the pups. They are all doing very well and gaining weight, Rag is eating well and doing a terrific job of caring for them. It is going to be a tough decision to which girl we are going to keep but which everyone it is, she will be well loved. I would just like to thank everyone for the kind wishes.

BEEN GONE AND DONE IT

I am very happy to say that Rag has given birth to nine healthy happy whuppies, 6 males and 3 bitches. It has been a very long day for her but she has been a model mum and a star. The boys are mostly fawn and the girls have lots of white, still not sure which pup we will keep but time will tell. Here is a family shot and I will update with individual shots soon.

WEEK 9

Here we are at week 9 ....... I can hardly believe i has came round so quick. Rag is doing so well, she has settled down a bit today as I have had the fans on so things have been a lot cooler for her. Her weight is up too 19.6 so she is either have quite a few pups or she is retaining a lot of water. As you can see from her picture she looks well and seems to want to eat all the time which I cannot allow as she may put on to much weight which could make the birth difficult for her. The pen is now set up with a heater plus a fan secured and ready for use, I have also placed a baby monitor above the pen as it is at the other end of the house from my bedroom which makes it difficult to hear if Rag goes into labour, though with any luck she will go during the day. I will add more as it happens so keep watching.
