imported_Cassie Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 As of last Wednesday my little girl had her pups...she had 7 healthy little pups...5 females and 2 males. She had no problems during delivery...they all were born within 3 hours. The last week has been exhausting :roll: I was looking after the boarding facility while the owner was away for march break, plus looking after my other bosses dogs and my own dogs...and my bitch with her new litter. I think I need an April break! the boarding kennel was packed. Other than being exhausted I am very pleased every thing went so well during whelping the litter. This is my bitches first litter, its surprising at how well she is handling motherhood...she rarely wants to leave the pups except to go to the bathroom...she is producing lots of milk, I have not had to supplement the pups with any formula....she is keeping them clean...its just great at how well this has turned out. There are a few of us keeping a 24 hour watch on her and the pups just in case she steps on one, or lays on top of a pup...Tori seems pretty aware of exactly where all of her pups are...but, we keep an eye on her because you just never know. I will post pictures as soon as I get them back! the breeder who legally owns my bitch has the pictures right now :lol: Quote

Nellie is due in about 10 days so I am watching her closely. Poor thing is getting rather uncomfortable. Lots of spoiling going on :wink: Looking forward to those pics! Quote

abker17 Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Congrats! :D Glad to hear the mummy and pups are doing well! Can't wait to see wee puppy pics!!!!! :D :D Quote
imported_Cassie Posted March 17, 2004 Author Posted March 17, 2004 Oh KathiNellie, thats right your Golden is due soon...how is she feeling? has she gotten over the diarrhea?? My girl was getting really uncomfortable in her last few weeks...restless and irratable...and very clingy to my other female Newfoundland...with the last few days we had one false alarm...I started taking her temperature daily, one day it dropped so I really thought she was going to have her pups that day...wrong. I hope every thing goes well for you Kathi. Hillside, we had a whelping party to celebrate. :drinking: and yes, drinks were involved. Wine is always the way to bring in a new birth...and with 7 pups that makes 7 glasses of wine to cheer them in with :lol: Thanks every one for your well wishes...and yes, I will post the pictures...or shall I say I will e-mail them to ellieangel and see if she will post them for me...still can't get the hang of posting pic's :oops: by the way ellieangel...thanks in advance... :angel: Quote

Malamum Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 LOL at quietly waiting for pics - I am noisely waiting for pics (I need a little jumping up and down and stamping feet emoticon) :lol: :lol: Seriously though, CONGRATULATIONS! Quote

atghylin Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 PUPPIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats to mom and pups! glad to hear all went well :D Must ahve lots of pictures soon, please! :D Amanda Quote
Horsefeathers! Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Congratulations! I have kinda sorta thought, in fleeting moments of insanity when I think about getting out of the rescue/foster business, that Newfies are a breed I could own (along with my beloved Standard Poodles, of course, and an Airedale). I really do have a hankering for them, but it'll never happen. I can't imagine wanting to keep one down here in this muggy, Southern heat. I'm rambling... just wanted to say congrats. 8) Quote
Queen Bitch Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 So that also brings the Dogo Newfie count up quite a bit too. Oh my. Did you remember to have a glass of wine for the mama Newf in addition to the newbie Newfs? Oh and what about daddy Newf? :drinking: :drinking: :drinking: :drinking: :drinking: :drinking: :drinking: :drinking: :drinking: Quote
Aonir Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 PUPPIES!! Must.. have.. pictures... (while in their innocent state!) Wait until they get bigger, lol Quote
StarFox Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 WooHoo! Congrats! Sounds like she is being a wonderful mother! :D Come on now...where are the pics? I don't know how much longer I can wait! :wink: Quote
imported_Cassie Posted March 17, 2004 Author Posted March 17, 2004 Hillside....oh oh...I did not have a drink for mamma & pappa Newf...another social blunder committed :o :lol: HF, I really think a Newf would complete your pack :lol: whats one more dog?? :lol: seriously, I find the Newf to be such a wonderful low key dog...every Newf I have ever owned plus all my friends Newf's have such a high tolerance level with other dogs, children etc. they don't get aroused like my other dogs...and believe me I've had ALOT of different breeds...its takes alot to set off a Newf... Once they come out with a smooth Newf. that would be perfect for your climate :lol: the breeder I work for actually sold a Newf to a family in Bermuda...of course she went down to inspect the home before selling them a pup (nice excuse for a vacation) :wink: the home was air conditioned and right on the beach...the dog has now been there for a few years and is doing great. :wink: Quote
Queen Bitch Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Well you must attone for forgetting the proud parents. :drinking: :drinking: Quote
kendalyn Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Congratulations! You are a busy lady! :lol: Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Nellie is doing great Cassie. Thanks for asking. Her stools are fine now. I have been mixing a little pumpkin and rice with her Innova and feeding three small meals a day. Seems to be working out great. She is really slowing down this week and seems uncomfortable. She is everywhere I am :roll: I try to give her lots of attention and reasurance since she has no idea what is happening to her. Such a sweet girl :angel: I will let you know when the big day arrives. In the mean time take care of your girl and pups. OOOHHH puppy kisses can't wait!! Quote
