Our Little Bit Has Wrapped Her Little Paw Around Our Hearts

We just love her so much. She loves to play with Taz inside & to try and keep up with mommy, daddy, & big sister Destiney outside. We enjoy watching her try to figure out what the big dogs are doing and why they are doing it.

She's growing too fast !

The little girl we named Faith Noel (Little Bit) is growing like a weed. She is simply beautiful & is very loving . She likes to give lots of kisses. She is very healthy and for that I am thankful.

Our little Miracle

Hello, I can't remember when I took these, I think she was 2-3 weeks old. She has gotten so big. Andrew and I named the little girls right away. We lost little Hope but we still have Faith Noel. At three weeks she was already a good size. She weighed 5.89 oz. She goes back to see Dr. Lodwick on the 19th. She growing so fast, we think she may hit 12 lbs. on her 6 week checkup. Bob started weaning her yesterday. She can stand to be away from Meranda for a little while, then she starts to get upset. We have made any definite decision yet on whether we are going to keep her even though we all really want to. Bob says if we could find someone close so she would be far away, he has been talking with some of his buddies. She is so loveable, she likes to run around her nursery pen, Santa brought her pretty red and white toys, she loves to play with Meranda. I think she is unsure about the back yard, Max just checks her out, Destiney wants to jump in and play mommy, Meranda is not as patient about sharing her as she did in the spring with the whole litter. It's so hard to believe with every pregancy the gene combinations are always different every single time. Why !! did this have to happen to my Meranda. Though thank God we still have her, it could have been worse and we do have our chubby little Faith Noel. If any one sees this, I could use some puppy pictures to cheer me up. I hold my little Faith and I don't want to let her go. This has been so hard, I never want this to happen again. I gotta go now to sad to think anymore for now.
Goodnite and kisses to all the puppies, I love you all.

My Worst Fears Came True & More

I think I can try and get this out now. My Meranda went into labor 3 days early. Meranda gave birth to 6 stillborn boys and she had 2 little girls. One lasted for 4 days. Just as we were going to start feeding her ourselves and she didn't seem to be doing well, while Bob was getting what we needed for her, she went to sleep. This has been so horrible, a complete nightmare. I had had bad feelings from the start as this was a back to back pregnancy. Our vet said even if we had brought her in, he believed the pups had died inside her within the 24 hours before she went into labor, which he thought caused her to go into labor. He also believes the stillborn boys died from something genetic because it was only the boys. The boys were good size, no physical deformities that we could see of any kind. We called the vet and was explained how to try to revive them. To no avail, it did not work. We, Bob, Andrew, and myself were simply sick inside and heart broken. The little girl we lost I was calling her Hope and that is what I wrote on her little box after I wrapped her in a pink baby blanket. Our other girl, I call Faith Noel, is growing , thriving steadily. She is a big girl. Tomorrow she will be 3 weeks old, it is time to worm her. I would like to keep her, Bob says, he is going to talk to a couple people about her. If she isn't here, she needs to be close, so we can still see her. She crys alot, I think she knows she is alone and they are gone. Her sister sleep beside her for 4 days. Under no circumtances will there be anymore mistakes. Meranda must cycle a whole year between births to recoop. We don't want another litter for at least 3-4 years. I will post some pics of Our chubby Faith Noel when I take some. I have been holding off for a bit. Her eyes opened last Friday and she has been trying to walk. She loves to eat from Meranda and sleep beside her. When we stroke her she calms. She is our very special miracle. We hope all of the other puppies and their families had a very Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year.
Love to all the puppies.
Beverly, Bob, & Andrew

Miss Chainsaw

Its almost time 2 weeks to go

Well, the nursey area is back up, I have my mother-in-law getting my sheets. Meranda is so fat, I just don't know. I hope this starts in the morning, but I doubt it. I am trying to organize ahead alittle with my broke foot. I should be in a walking boot before they are walking so that will definitey help. It will work itself out I'm sure.

OOPS, It's all my fault

Well, Here we go again. I am so sorry Meranda. I didn't switch them in & out from Bad to Good kennel. I walked away for just a couple minutes. Max tore the front of the old kennel up & poor Meranda didn't have a chance. That was all it took, one time, my poor baby girl. Max had been in the new kennel which he can't get out of or into. Meranda will have a new kennel just like that one after this. I think we are having about 7-9 puppies possibly. Meranda is due on Dec 11,2011. Now I have to rearrange the garage again & put the nursery pen back up. Oh boy, I hope everything goes well. I don't like her having 2 litters in a row but we will have to deal with it. I love the puppies and it is upsetting to see them go. Everyone say a prayer for Meranda that her delivery goes well. She is such a sweet, happy girl. She is 3 years old.
