Oh my goodness! All boys! Maybe just one lil girl Sheena! Come on! Congrats on a so far healthy uneventful litter!

So far there are 7 boys and there might be one more pup. Not sure yet. For those who want to see pictures here is the link to my website page that has the pictures. Each pup has his own page. Scroll down to see their page links. We only have pics of the first 5. Yes I am taking pics of the others but they were still too damp for the shots yet. Hope you enjoy.

Be still my rapidly beating heart! Little sweet, precious teeny weenies! Oh those pink noses and itty bitty feets! Sheena looks SO happy! Good girl, Sheena! You're such a wonderful mommy!!! Congratulations all of you!!! *Jumps for joy*!

Nope, no girls. Which is ok(even though a girl was what our heart was set on to keep this dream going) because we have 7 beautiful, strong vocal boys. And yes I am keeping one. Even though they gave me a sleepless night last night and my body feels like it has been hit by a truck, these pups have already gotten into my heart and I will have a hard time sending them to their new familes when they are old enough.

Anyway off to get ready. Have the vet visit today to make sure Sheena is empty and the pups are doing well. I will let you all know how it goes when I get back.

Just weighed all the boys. I had expected them to lose some weight before gaining. So I was suprised to note that all the pups gained weight. Not one lost any. Some gained a lot, and some only .1oz but it is gaining none the less. Here is how it is today versus when they were first born.

Dark blue collared male - At birth: 14oz, Now 14.7oz
Dark Yellow collared male - At birth: 11.4oz, Now 11.5oz
Green collared male - At Birth: 13.3oz, Now 13.9oz
Light Blue collared Male - At Birth: 15.4oz, Now 1.04 LBS
Red Collared Male - At Birth: 9.9oz, Now 10.5oz
Rainbow Collared Male - At Birth: 11oz, Now 11.1oz
Light Yellow Collared Male - At Birth 14.7oz, Now 15.2oz

So they have all gained. Yippee. Now to wait to phone the vet to go see her.

Maybe one of those boys should be named Sherman!!


Congrats to you and all the little boys and mamma too!!

[Husky_mom]

Maybe one of those boys should be named Sherman!!

My thoughts EXACTLY!!!!

[NicoleLJ]

Yup Rainbow is nicknamed Sherman. Sorry I missed out about him though.

We just got back and the pups are all setled in and eating. Our vet checked them over and gave them all a clean bill of health. Everyone in teh vet office stopped what they were doing to come and see the adorable white puppies. They were all praising Sheena(who also got a clean bill of health) and commenting on how happy and energized and healthy she looked so soon after whelping. Our next visit, pending no complications or problems, will be in 5 1/2 weeks for their first shots. After that the adopters will be able to visit the pups.

So all are doing great, Sheena is a proud and happy mom, and I am a very proud grandma.

I will be taking some cute pics this afternoon of Luca and the pups. No I am not letting him in with the whole litter. lol He likes to kiss their noses when you hold them up to him, which Sheena is completely fine with, so I thought they would make cute pics. Big black Luca face with tiny white puppy face. What do you all think? So I will post those pics later today for you.
