6 Weeks Old!!!

One is sold...four more to go! Check out the new pics and video!

5 Weeks!

The puppies are now five weeks old (as of tomorrow). It's incredible to see how fast they are growing and developing. Every day it's a new thing. One day the open their eyes, the next they're stumbling around, the next they're walking, then almost barking. Now they're all running around and playing, it's truly amazing:) I really don't think there's any way we can keep all five!!!!!

It's also interesting to see their individual personalities coming out. Some are more vocal than others. Some are more outgoing than others. One seems to have really attached himself to me, which is so cute when I come in the room and he comes running over to me.

Anyway, I know several of you have been asking for updated pictures, so here they are!

Puppies!!!!

The puppies finally made their appearance today (Sunday). Bang on schedule. We have 5 total, 3 males and 2 females!

Millie seems to be a great mommy so far. She gets very concerned when we pick one up, she doesn't take her eyes off of it until we return it to her. It took about 4 hours for them all to be born, but all seem healthy and fit...and good lungs too!!!!

I took all the puppies out a little bit ago to change the towels (they were very messy). When I put them all back in she went around one by one counting them and making sure all was good. Very cute.

Week 9!!!!

Well, here we are, finally! We are down to just days (hopefully) to go. We're not sure whether Saturday or Sunday is her official due day (day 63), but here we are at Friday and patiently waiting for it all to start. I really thought it was going to be Wednesday night or Thursday morning due to her panting and pacing but nothing yet. The puppies were doing aerobics on Wednesday night and Millie looked super uncomfortable but she made it through and held on. I think everything is mostly in order and all is ready to go.

Now we wait....and wait...and if necessary wait some more. We will update if anything new happens and add pictures as soon as we have them.

Keep checking and stay tuned in!!!! :)

The Crate and the "Boyfriend/Daddy"

Week 8!!!!

We're down to only 1 week to go!!! I can't believe how fast the time has flown by. I'm not sure Millie is thinking the same thing. She is slowly making her way around the house, waddling here and there, going outside to pee every two hours (during the night included). She seems too tired to care about anything other than eating and going out to pee. Still eating like a cow, she has gained nearly 3 pounds total. Her ability to jump is gone. Her belly is HUGE, nearly touching the ground as she walks around. When we lay on the couch together watching t.v. I can feel the pupppies moving around when I put my hand on her belly. Millie seems ok with me touching her belly now.

I worked on her crate yesterday building it so that the puppies won't be able to get out through the bars once they are walking around. I will include pictures...take a look at that belly!

Week 7

Only two weeks left! We have been taking bets to see how many puppies Millie will have. So far the totals are;

GB: 3
JB: 2
Mom: 4
Dad: 3
JD: 1
DA: 4

I think I got that all right...I might have to correct a few though.

I weighed Millie yesterday and she is a whopping 8.2 pounds, up from 5.5 pounds before she was pregnant! She has started loosing all the fur on her belly. She is still sitting sideways because she can't quite get her whole tummy under her when she sits. And most importantly...still as grouchy as ever:)

We will be moving her crate up to the upstairs soon to put her in a warmer room and also to make additional space for our house guests we are having for April. Millie is currently getting up 2 to 3 times a night to be let outside to pee which means I have not been getting my beauty rest lately...but so far still in a good mood!

Not much longer now!!!
