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

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.

Jager, she is a pretty Girl too !!!!

Here's a familiar face from a few posts back. Jager(girl) is starting to fill out & her ears are also coming up nicely. She doesn't live far from us. I understand she also quite a smart girl too. She has a stepsister GSD named Ushi who stays close by & is her best buddy. She was the only one of the litter who looked different , though she does remind me alot of Mia & Maggie from Merandas first litter from last year.
. Thanks for sharing her picture with us.

Isn't She Lovely !

More beautiful pictures of Miss Chainsaw

Miss Chainsaw just gets more beautiful every day. Her ears are looking great. Her mommy says she is very smart, she behaves very well, loves attention as well as the water. I just love seeing her. She was my girl before she left us and we had her for about 9 weeks or so. Plenty of time to get attached.
I love you Miss Chainsaw. Thanks again LaDena, you don't know how much it means to see her pics.
