First I want to apologize for not updating you guys sooner. I started a new job that requires me to work from 10 pm to 8 am. At first it was every night, now it is only 4 nights a week and I am getting used to the hours. So I am sorry for not posting this thread sooner.
The puppies are getting so BIG! They are now almost seven weeks old (on Friday they'll be 7 wks). They are eating puppy food now and drinking lots of water. They do not nurse as much so I have seperated Lady from them during the day, just to give her a break. All of the puppies but two have homes waiting for them. The applicants passed criminal background checks, reference checks, and house checks. I had some weird people call about these pups, but we narrowed it down to (we hope) the perfect families.
As for Lady....well no home yet. She is sick. We are not sure what is wrong with her. I have an appointment on Saturday for her to go to our vet. She is very mopey, walks very slow, barely eats or drinks, she is not gaining any weight (she is very thin), and her gums are pretty pale. The vet has nothing open until Saturday and I don't get paid til Friday. This just started the last week....right before I started seperating the pups. She is friendly, wags her tails, but just seems so sad and not feeling good. I hope it is nothing serious, as we were thinking of keeping her. She is such a good dog and so gentle. Please pray for her. I have started giving her raw and she likes the beef, not the chicken...but even that she barely eats. I have to hand feed her in order for her to eat. Her poop is soft, but not mush, and an orangish color. I will post after the vet on Saturday.
Well here are the pictures of the pups and Lady. Enjoy.
The pups first encounter with softened puppy food. These were taken about two weeks ago.
The two bigger males always seem to smell the food first! And lil' Rascal is quickly catching up in size....and appetiite (sorry I know I can't spell!!)
Slowly they all smell the food.
And it is all over with now.....happy puppies....big messes!
A couple of weeks later......
Look how big we are!!!
Please don't mind the mess..... these pups are something but hard to keep up with!
