Time to Change Dog Food and Eyes Wide Open

Penelopes Pups are Nine Days Old
OK, this is a sort of meet the kids video. In order roughly we have: The largest girl, who is a dark cream, getting her belly tickled. Also, can I point out here that she has, bar none, the softest fur I have ever felt? Its double coated, with outer guard hairs that sparkle like spun gold, and eve ...

Puppy Woes and Vets with Bad People Skills
Sorry for being missing in action, but Penelopes puppies came down with diarrhea, and caring for them has been consuming pretty much every minute of my time.

Little Miss Chunky Butt Opens Her Eyes
Princess Chunky Butt is growing by leaps and bounds, not all of them merely in terms of her girth, either. Her widdle eyes are open (first one yesterday evening, second one this morning), so no more flash photography for a while, which means any photos will be a bit dark and grainy. Shes also super ...

Penelope Got Milk
Well, that sucked. Penelope had a little colostrum at the clinic, so I came home sure that nursing wouldnt be an issue for her. Wrong. What little liquid she had dried up, and around four am I had some screaming mad, super hungry puppies to contend with, and no mommy milk to offer them. Thats when I ...

Ellen Degeneres Disappears Another Dog
I am starting to wonder if Ellen Degeneres is a sort of Bermuda Triangle of dog adopters dogs go in, then disappear, never (except in the case of Iggy, whos doing public service announcements) to be heard of again. So, how many dogs has the Ellen Triangle disappeared? Everyone knows about Iggy, the ...

Tula Has a Heart of Gold
Tula went into full labor last night about four days early. We took the pups this morning two of them, one brindle girl, one pied girl. The rest was fluid - a LOT of fluid. My 19 lb girl weighed 26.3 at the vets office this morning, and opening her up was like Niagara Falls. I kept asking the vet ...
