(tapping foot....)
So hows those puppies coming???

I have been sick, but still spend a few minutes on the computer checking up on the "need to know" stuff, looking here for the pups, one of them...

Hope all is going well!

Jac · 09-12-2009, 11:46 PM

Wait! Am I missing something??? Are the pups arriving???

Sorry you are sick Judi...

Her temp dropped earlier today to 98.5. Dont know exactly when, I didnt start taking it until noon today and it was already there. She is panting heavy now, but no contractions. She is pretty uncomfortable. She is also picking up every one of Finn stuffed animals and collecting them in the whelping box and digging around in the towels. Her mothering instincts are kicking in! My wife is catching some zzzz's while I stay up on puppy watch. I'll wake her when the action starts. I just hope it doesnt take all night. I'l post here as well for the night owls and the west coasters.

Jac · 09-13-2009, 12:57 AM

Yaaaayyy!!! We're having babies!!!! Praying that all goes well for the pups, Hershey, Todd and dear wife! Can't wait to see my baby boy! Eeeeehawwww!

KingstonTodd · 09-13-2009, 10:45 AM

Jac · 09-13-2009, 12:38 PM

Whow, what a morning. Gus has been great. He is outside in the yard quiet as a mouse. He normally howls if he is outside without us or Hershey and he knows we are inside doing something without him. He must sense it. What a good boy. I'll make him some stew later.

3 1/2 hours in, 8 puppies. all chocolate, a few small mismarks. Hershey is amazing. She is doing everything herself, we have had to do very little besides break the sac, and weigh them, and reposition them at her teats. Oh, and clean up a mess. She had the first puppy "sleeping" on our leather couch. Is handled it surprisingly well, wiped up in a flash. I think I may make the whelping box out of leather next time for easy to clean

. I'll post a video later, the sounds of newborn puppies.......amazing. I didnt realize I missed that until it came back. Here is a sneak preview, still wet, only minutes old.

Jac · 09-13-2009, 01:52 PM

Oh!!! Congratulations Todd and Hershey!!! (Good boy Gus!)
They are beautiful!!!
I know what you mean about the sounds...nothing better...
Mismarks! Good sign...any boys?

When you get a minute (yeah, right.) take a look at the pads of their feet...I am told by a parti expert that parti factored pups will have two colors on their foot pads...light and darker...but that the markings go away when they are a few weeks old...still, those with markings are said to be parti factored. I'd be curious to see if this is true...
I am so very happy! The pups are gorgeous...and they all look to have GREAT coats!

Jac · 09-13-2009, 01:53 PM

I just looked again...little pink collar...look at those toes!!! Toooo cute!

Raleighsmom · 09-13-2009, 01:58 PM

Oh Todd...I jut teared up looking at those precious little babies...Hershey did wonderful! Now try to get some rest...can't wait to see the video when you get the chance...a big Congratulations to all of you!

Lucky Me · 09-13-2009, 03:34 PM

Congratulation!
Aaaaahhhhh! Thanks for posting Todd, the pups all look beautiful!
I really miss those puppy squeaks.... can't wait for Tuesday's next litter. She's due to come in heat in Dec.

You've got that right! I have been waiting for these puppies since before they were even thought of!!!

And, aren't they gorgeous???

KingstonTodd · 09-13-2009, 03:49 PM

Jac, there are some foot pads that are brown and pick but who??? I'll document it for you.

Mmmmmmm, milk.

They are still wet here, but now that they are drying, I really like their coats. As much as you can at 5 h old

Jac · 09-13-2009, 03:53 PM

Oh, I am so excited! (Can you tell by the way I am first to respond to every new post???)
They do have lovely coats...and I am seeing a few pink toes...so, by all means, we need to document the dual colored foot pads, the mismarks and the boys! LOL
Looks like you have a red ribbon pup with pink toes AND a white tummy....a boy, per chance?
