Well, seems I have got behind on blogging.  I went out of town for a business trip and had a very sporadic Internet connection, so I was unable to post.  I came home and the next day came down sick!  Needless to say, I am behind, but getting back on track. Thank you everyone for your patience, it is much appreciated!

Kira, my webmaster has been recuperating from surgery, so 3 and 4 week pictures should be posted on the website shortly!

The puppies are doing very good!  Vega is starting to wean them — she spends more time away from them now.  They are eating solid food and drinking out of their water bowl — when they are not laying in them!  They are becoming the little escape artists and getting out of the area we have for them.  We took them out of the whelping box about a week ago. 

I heard a noise last night in the kitchen and upon investigation discovered they had all escaped their area and were following Vega around the house — too cute!  Seems we need to put up a higher board to keep them better contained!

They are playing well together and now take turns holding each other down so one becomes the victor over the other!  Pink girl seems to stay on bottom more than on top, but she is getting a few licks in now and then!

Many Blessings to you!
Debbie

Puppy Update:

Well, tomorrow is 1 week, but wanted to get an update to you:

All the puppies are growing and doing well.  They all are growing consistently and steadily with no one falling behind or “taking” off in size.

We changed their ribbons this morning to allow more growing room!  They are only nursing and sleeping at this age.  We pick up them and cuddle and stroke them a couple of times a day in order to get them used to our presence without stressing mom or them.  The first couple of weeks, we allow them to just rest and grow and make our presence known in a quiet way.

Vega is now leaving the room for a few minutes at a time – she misses being in my office and comes for a short visit off and on now throughout the day.  The first couple of days she only leaves the pups for a short visit outside, which she will only do if I come with her.

Here is a current picture of the little ones – my they have grown!

Vega and her Puppies

Wisteria Goldens - Vega Puppies - 1 Week

Our beauitful Vega, had 6 puppies!  4 girls and 2 boys! 

The last girl is Yellow Girl — and she weighed in at 1.2 oz.  We have a beautiful litter.  Vega was huge and we thought she would have at least 10 puppies.  These puppies are big babies — filled out so nicely, and all healthy!

Mom and babies are resting — as are Dr. Billy and nurse Debbie.  I will post a couple of pictures later today.

Another sweet English Creme Girl has arrived — light blue girl arrived at 11:00p and weighed in at 1.2 oz!  Vega is getting tired (I know I would be)  She has cleaned and dried them all — they are nursing, sleeping, and mom is getting in a nap before another baby decides to come into the world!

Hi Everyone,

Count is now — 2 boys and 2 girls. 

Birth order:  Blue Boy - 1.4 oz, Pink Girl - 1.4 oz, Purple Girl - 1.4 oz, and Red Boy - 1.2 oz.

All the puppies are doing great — so is Mom!  She is such a good girl!

We now have a girl!  Count is 1 boy and 1 girl, both of them weighed 1.4 oz…they are big babies.  Mom is doing great.  She has more to come!

Vega had her first puppy — it’s a boy!  More on the way….

Vega is in labor — the puppies should be coming soon!  I will keep you posted!

Vega is growing bigger every day.  She is walking slower, sleeping more, but doing very well!  We are setting up her whelping box in the laundry room and getting her place prepared.

This is Vega’s favorite place in my office right now — in her favorite position.  I have a bed for her, but the plain floor makes her happier.
