Re: Parker puppies ( OT CHANGED)

Put the dog bed in the welping box, block off the couch and she stays put until 3am( WHY Parker?) . I really don't need to be up at 3...

Re: Parker puppies ( OT CHANGED)
So I just realized, 3 of the 4 litters born to my care have been on holidays! MLK, Easter and now Memorial day weekend.
Parkers litter was born a week before Labor day.
Pics have to wait this morning

Re: Parker puppies ( OT CHANGED)
Today's pic!
Her name has yet to be decided but im leaning towards
Maclura Pomifera, aka Osage Orange, Sage will be her call name.
That's Claro in the background, she is NOT happy about puppies! Never has been!! She isn't a threat in any way but boy she is crabby!

Re: Parker puppies ( OT CHANGED)
Being her first litter Parker has been a bit anxious but that is subsiding as the days go on. Of course I'm doing everything I can to reinforce calm. Last evening when she was eating I got in the box opening and blocked all but head room so she could see but not touch as I spent time scratching, playing with the little bratwursts. She watched but didn't try to push me away. That is good!
A few more days and I'll start asking folks to come visit the puppies. Normally I want people here the first day to handle them.
She was obsessive the first couple days! Not leaving them at all. Still a bit rough with them but puppies bounce pretty well!

Finally able to get the brood into see the vet. All the pups are thankfully happy and healthy! Parker had a little yeast in her ear so that got treated. They decided to de-worm her and im glad she waited until we got home to puke!! Best of all she puked in the lawn!!

Re: Parker puppies ( OT CHANGED)
She had me up at 1am, I picked up a foam mattress pad for the box and cut it in half. I need to cut it a little smaller as a pup rolled, kicked off, crawled off and got stuck between the side of the box and the pad so I rescued it and she went back to sleep... I tossed and turned for an hour.

Re: Parker puppies ( OT CHANGED)
You said John!
I resized the other half and now there is 6" clearance from box to pad. It seems to be enough friction it doesn't move around.
She tried to sneak a puppy outside today!

Re: Parker puppies ( OT CHANGED)
So these pups were lower birth weight than I've had in the past. That being said I have had some moments of WHY, HOW COME were they so small.
Pups are water logged at birth and usually lose weight the first day. But gain back fast.
This time is no different, first pup was just over 8 ounces and now at almost a week old she was 14.8 oz this morning. Almost double in 7 days is a great sign that she is healthy, Parker is making plenty of milk.
The heaviest pup was 12.1 at birth and now 1lb 4 oz or so. It's all working out!
I can say that these pups are active! Put one down and turn away for 10 seconds and they are not where I left them !! Healthy for sure!

Ya know how if you scratch just the right spot on a dog and they get their leg going- the puppies do it ! Never had any of the others do that.

WHY 3am? Parker came up again this morning. Although no urgency on her part she still woke me.

Time bombs alright! Once they start at the milk bar Parker starts cleaning them- then the bombs start going off!! Just had to give 2 a bath as they were covered in each other's mess!
But here is a very content puppy! I think ' fat & happy ' is a good description!

Puppies are simply miracles. From blind, chubby, helpless little toots to your best friend in the world in just a few months. It's been said before: dogs are proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

I always look at it as long as I have a doG by my side God is always with me.
Years ago , Field & Stream or Outdoor Life had an article titled On the VII ( or VIII- don't remember exactly). It's a humorous account of the creation of doG . I have a copy somewhere, need to find it again.

Re: Parker puppies ( OT CHANGED)
Thanks Jay! They are very cute at this age. Between now and the 3 to 4 week mark they do a lot of twitching. Neurons are firing to stimulate the muscles. They lay there still as can be then they are twitching like ya hooked em up to a light socket. More sounds everyday too, purrs, whines, half barks- too much fun !!!!!!

Re: Parker puppies ( OT CHANGED)
Surprisingly all of these are highly mobile, get around very well. In fact from memory these moved earlier and faster than previous litters. I have noticed the black pup is off by himself more, not sure if the heat lamp is the reason or not.
As for personalities still a little early but I can say the little girl is very feisty! Sage is eating again ! She is a chip off the Aunt Claro block. Claro was always eating!

Re: Parker puppies ( OT CHANGED)
They open but they don't really work for a while. You can actually watch them go from blue to clear over a few days.
Nose is what works the most, the eyes are second most important then ears open up and begin to work... explains why they never listen , they are following their noses !

The black pup has both eyes open , he is getting around quite well.
My Sage has her eyes just starting to open but she is up on her feet!
Pinky, the smallest pup has 2 tiny little black eyes. Seems like the two big boys are just in milk comas!
Sage almost got out of the box, time for the low gate to prevent a jail break !!
Time bomb, not really - it's the land mines X 5 that is the problem!!
