Puppies



The puppies are here. Ruby had her 2 puppies last Wednesday. They are so cute. Luckily, I guess, she only had 2. The first one was born no problem at about 5:30 pm. The other waited until 11 that night. He, on the other hand did not do so good. His breathing was really shallow and his temperature was really low. So he got to spend 2 nights at the vets office in an incubator. He is doing very well now. He is almost as big as his brother. Even though we didn't want her to have puppies, I have enjoyed the distraction. It has made my pregnancy go by faster. Only 48 days! I am a little nervous, but mostly excited. Nothing new to report the baby is doing great and I am doing pretty good. Ready to be done, but I am staying patient. Well I will update with more information when it happens.

More Puppies : |

So, we thought we did everything possible to keep Roman and Ruby apart so she wouldn't have puppies this time, but were we wrong. We separated them for 3 weeks, which is a big pain when its so cold outside and there is only one heated dog house. We put a sweatshirt on Roman and tied him up to the truck. Hopefully everything will go as well with this liter as with the last. We were hoping she wouldn't have a liter this time and that next time she could. Oh well, they will be here probably next weekend some time. Hopefully the distraction of having puppies will make my last 2 1/2 months go by fast and in return the distraction of the baby will make it easier when the puppies have to go. It will be interesting. Everything with the baby is great. I have become a human punching bag. Well, I will update as more happens.
