Morning weights on the five babies:

B&T girl 8.08
Shaded red boy 7.20
Choc & tan girl 6.46
Shaded red boy 7.80
Choc red boy 8.25

Broken about losing our tiny girl, but sometimes nature is cruel. At least these five are thriving!

Our tiny little girl did not make it. God speed, sweet pup.

Good morning, I was wrong, we have three girls and three boys, but the tiny pup is one of the girls and she is awful weak this morning. We have been holding her on to nurse and she’s nursing, but I’m afraid she’s expending more energy than she’s getting nutrients to do any good. Will start supplementing.

It appears we once again have two girls and four boys (don’t bet on that, my eyes are old and tired!) just like we did with Cayenne’s litter. Cannot determine coat types yet. Also, coat colors can change quite a bit, so we’ll see what all of the colors do in the next few weeks!

Black and tan girl- 6.38 oz
Shaded red male 6.17 oz
Choc red male - 6.95 oz
Shaded red male -6.30 oz
Tiny red male - 3.39 oz
Choc & tan girl - 5.29 oz

I’m going to put a temporary reservation on chocolate and tan girl at this time … may have to DNA test her so I can paper her! We’ll see how she grows and develops! Also, please keep sending positive thoughts and prayers up for tiny guy! Sweet baby is nursing, so maybe, maybe, maybe he’ll get strong and grow, grow, grow!

We have a wee little soul that isn’t doing so well this evening. We are trying to keep it nursing but the little tyke weighed only 0.216 compared to siblings weighing 0.434 and 0.397 (forgot to convert my scale back to grams, will do that the next time I weigh them). Had to stop in the middle because I panicked over the little fella and the mom kept moving them and I couldn’t tell who I’d weighed and who I hadn’t. I’ll go back in there in a bit and try again. Of the three I did get weighed, we had two boys and one girl, and the girl is black and tan.

If this girl stays here, her name will be Kalindah Laveau! Cause she’s definitely got the mojo!

First outside playtime … man, they loved every second of it!

Our cream long-coat male went to his new home today! So we are down to the two smooth babies - one female and one male. This baby played hard outside today before he went to his new home!

Thanking God tonight for the safe and healthy delivery of six beautiful, miraculous little beings and their sweet mother. However, watch how fast after they are weaned their momma gets spayed! I prefer to match my parents personally and time litters so we have at least a short rest period between! But these little babes are definitely blessings, planned or not! Everyone has been taking turns at the milk bar and they are quiet and content, which is what you want from babies — quiet babies are happy babies! It’s been a long day! But momma has eaten and taken a good long drink when offered food and water so she’s good, too.

We are at six and are hopefully done … just changed whelping pad and got everybody re-settled. Number six was still damp so hasn’t been here long.

We are at number five and Mom is still pushing. Pray for a safe delivery for her and all the pups.
