It's been a long time!

Hello!  



It's been awhile since I last blogged about my dogs and their "happenings...."  I really didn't have any puppies since the last time I was on here other than "Bailey", a single pup born in a litter
from Gingerbread.  She was a bottle fed from our dairy goat from about week 2 until weaning.

 
 Without the large litter to nurse her, Gingerbread became frantic when her milk came in about day 3 after whelping...refused to eat, paced the floor and looked everywhere for more puppies.  Soon she just refused to come lay down with Bailey for more that a few minutes and we were forced to intervene.  She took to the bottle easily and even would suck a pacifier a little!  I made a crazy Doggo Meme from a picture of her:
She turned out just fine and we had a great home lined up for her.



 
I had another wonderful thing happen in the last year:  Grandson Elgin was born!!!

What started off as a super scary delivery and a long NICU stay ended with a Blessed little happy boy!!!

Elgin at about 4 months

Current ELGIN...beautiful!
So you can see it's been a busy time.  Amelia, Elgin's sister is still my LOVIE...she is dog crazy of course....
 Amelia and Spice....

Dogs are all doing good, Spice is still going strong at almost 11.
Snailie is still goofy and now grown up: 
And if you remember Beetle, a sister from Snailie...she is almost grown too.

She is a silly looking little bully.  
On Sunday night/Monday (Aug. 24/25) morning Lily had her 3rd litter.  10 healthy spotted puppies!

She started about 10:30 with the first one and had the last pup at 5:35 am.  It was a LONG night.




It's now Friday afternoon, Sept. 1st and she and litter are great.  I've been able to stay with them all week and it has really been great to be here 24 hours with them.  Of course it is tiring at night getting up all hours to check on them and sleeping lightly so that I hear each squeak but it's worth it to have them doing so well.  I will keep you posted!
