It's been a crazy few weeks! We had a gender reveal party for our son and his girlfriend! It's a boy!! Same day Brinley decided she was going to have babies... 7 gorgeous babies!! She is the best momma I think we've ever had! She took to being a momma like a champ! Stay tuned for updates!
A little update this evening... (if you're seeing this twice, I apologize!) I've been giving the babies to momma after each feeding so she can bond and clean them. She's very gentle with them. Momma isn't acting 100% so we're watching her pretty close. I haven't been able to get her to eat without force feeding her. So say a prayer for momma. All the babies are eating, peeing,pooping and gaining weight! Their milk intake is still not where I think it should be but getting better every feeding! Hope you all get enough sleep to send some energy my way! See you tomorrow!
This was late last night and it didn't post...
It was a very long night!
As most of you have probably figured out, I'm not the best at social media! So these are the videos I took at our 930pm feeding. I didn't finish feeding babies until just before midnight... so if I look a mess, it's because I am! See you in the morning! #lifeofkenzislastlitter
Kenzi surprised everyone except my husband! She had 9 Itty bitty blue babies! Anyone want to guess boys or girls?
We're on baby watch! Kenzi is so miserable! She looks like a land hippo! Poor baby! Went to the vet this morning her progesterone level was 2.8... vet did an ultrasound and heartbeats are still a little fast and momma doesn't have milk yet. We're gonna give her one more day!
Kennedy and Poinsettia having a little romp around this afternoon! Both available!
Hi Paws family! First, this is going to be a long post and graphic pictures. I normally don't share things like this but I want to bring some awareness to a very rare situation. As some of you know our son raises, trains, and runs hound dogs. Well, while he was guiding a hunt, he asked me to care for his dogs ( he had cared for them 10 hours prior). While he was caring for the hounds, he replaced all the shavings in their kennels/ dog houses. He had been bear hunting and had used 3 of the bags of shavings he had left over from camp during the bear hunt. All the other bags of shavings he used had just been purchased. He is very particular about his dogs and looks over each and every one with a fine toothed comb! He asked me to check a specific dog while I was caring for them that particular dog was fine. However, one of his young boys was absolutely not okay. My first thought was he'd been bitten by a rattle snake, but that's not possible! We haven't had a rattle snake found close in over 30 years! My immediate reaction was to get him to a vet! However he was having none of that. He was absolutely ready to bite my hand off every time I got close enough to touch him. I finally got ahold of our son (who had no phone service). He happened to be in his way home (thank goodness!) So he gets home and we go with him to check out this poor baby. The video shows what we found. He got him to the vet and within an hour of being examined he passed away. At this point everyone is questioning what happened. The vet took tissue and blood samples to send off for evaluation. We received the results a couple days ago and sure enough... rattle snake. We all believe while he was hunting, a very small snake made its way into the bag of shavings. It's a warm place to chill right?? UGH!!! This poor baby suffered a horrible fate. After the test results, we are all pretty confident the baby ate the snake (praying!!). The point too this post is be aware! You just never know what terrib
Hello Paws family!!! So in all my years of being a breeder, I've never had a mom demand I help hold the puppy so she can clean it! When a momma dog wakes up from a c section, they are sometimes pretty confused and have no clue why there's these little creatures crawling all over them. So when we introduce each puppy we hold the puppy with their butt facing mom so her usual initial reaction is to clean them. Well after a couple times of doing this mom usually gets the hang of what she's supposed to do and just does it. Skittles on the other hand decided it's much easier to keep them still while she cleans them if I'm holding them. At first I thought she was being rough with them but after about the 5th time I caught on! So now this is our thing! Hope it made you smile!
