Fiona’s puppies got a clean bill of health – normal temperatures, two testicles on the males, clean ears, good hind leg range of motion, normal heartbeats, and no umbilical hernias. Stool samples were sent out of office.

I hope all mothers out there have a terrific day.

Tomorrow is supposed to be a rainy day.  Fiona’s puppies will get checked and vaccinated.  Since it was so pretty today, I took them outside for their pictures.  It is still hard to see the black puppies’ faces even in the natural light.  They are in this order:  Brian, Freddie, wheaten female, and Thistle.

 

 

Happy two-week-old birthdays to Lady Greer’s puppies.  They are doing well, and Lady Greer is eating more.  I have to give her a quarter of a whole Tums with calcium once a day.  I give it to her with the cottage cheese.  First time with it, she ate every bit of the cottage cheese but left the Tums.  I now crush it up on a paper towel and spread it into the cottage cheese.  I am actually giving her a half in case some is left over in the paper towel.  The blood work showed she was deficient in calcium, but everything else was ok.

The puppies’ eyes are about to open.  For three weeks, I will try and get my son to hold each one while I take a picture of the faces.

The brindle female and black female are at the bottom.  The female with the lavender collar is now in the pink collar.

Monday, I will be taking Fiona’s puppies to the vet for their six-week checkups.  They are a sweet group.

Raven had one black female on May 3rd.  I am thinking about keeping her.  The last time Raven was bred with Brodie, she did not get pregnant and with this litter only having one, I will spay Raven.

Lady Greer’s puppies are a week-old today.  It is hard keeping those Velcro collars around their necks.  The pink and yellow collar puppies are going to Greensboro, NC.  The lavender collar puppy may be staying in Raeford.  The wheaten male and brindle male with the blue collar are available.  Lady Greer continues to improve with each day.  She is now also eating the dry food.
