Happy three-week-old birthdays to Fiona’s puppies.  Their eyes are open.  I took pictures, but they are not very good.  They scamper around, and you can’t see the eyes at all of the black puppies.  I am in the process of deworming them.

The order of the puppies is:  wheaten, black male blue collar, black male green collar (Freddie) and black female.

I have come to the conclusion that Lady Greer’s pregnancy is false.  Her nipples are large; her belly is big; but there are no full mammary glands.  I also believe that Raven is not pregnant.  I am not sure about Lily yet.  However, with all these negative outcomes, I have bred Merlin with Isabella.  They could produce any color.  Merlin (black) has a grandsire that is a red wheaten.  Isabella has a granddam (Gracie) that is a silver brindle.  There will be some matings with my young Scotties late fall or winter.  I am disappointed for all those waiting patiently for one of my Scotties.  There will be other litters but later this year.

Fiona’s puppies give me a holler when I pick them up.  Fiona is ever watchful and doesn’t like for me to move them.

Annie’s bloodwork was good for all enzyme levels.

Fiona’s puppies turn two weeks old today.  Eyes are about to open.  I will be adding stuffed toys for sensory stimulation.

Annie is in a continuous heat cycle.  She may have a cyst on her ovaries.  Bloodwork was drawn today.  I am having her spayed next week.

I am back online.  I don’t have to watch tv on my phone anymore.  Fiona’s puppies are really growing.  She is such a good mom.  They are one and a half weeks old now.  Collars have been loosened to adjust to their growth.  I am going to add a black collar on the wheaten this evening, so she will be used to a collar around her neck.  When they are around three weeks old, I will put real collars on them.  They will be the same color as the Velcro ones.  The black female will have a pink and black collar.

Lady Greer and Raven are getting bigger.

The power cord to my modem broke apart, so I am out of access to internet and TV. A new modem will be coming in two to three days. If you have any questions or concerns, I can use my phone to access my email messages. I just won’t be able to post pictures. Puppies will be a week old on Monday.
