Puppies!!!!

[NicoleLJ]

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.

My thoughts EXACTLY!!!!

I actually PM'd her last night, and she promised the rainbow-collared boy would be nicknamed Sherman. How appropriate, don'cha think?

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.

Oh, how sweet! I was so happy to hear the pups arrived safe & sound. It was joyful news on a sad day for us. Here's saying a prayer that Sheena's boy Sherman will live a long and happy life! Thank you, I'm going to send this to my husband.

(and thanks for the heads up, Angie)

I'm glad to hear that all are doing so well. The puppies are so adorable! Congratulations.

Awwwww!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!! All boys!! They are just precious and Sheena looks like a queen as always. She is incredibly beautiful.

I sent this link to my sister. She will be on top of the world to see Sheena and her pups. What a cool thing to name one of the pups, Sherman.

Yayyyy! Sherman lives on! Such an indomitable spirit, he is!
My sadness is running its course, yet my joie de vivre is boundless because of the love given by all here at PetTalk. I am humbled, indeed.

Pat that was just my thought when I read about them

Congratulations on the litter! Too bad there wasn't one little girl hiding, but 7 healthy boys sounds terrific
I just got done looking at the pictures and they are PRECIOUS!

Thank you so much for sharing your and Sheena's experience with us!
