Louisville Mojo: First There Was Daisy...And Then There Was Seven...

I've been up the whole morning... My German Shep just had babies

yesterday. they are part Black Lab...

She was compromised a few months back when a dog jumped our fence ... this is the 4th girl he has done this to in the neighborhood... :{

She's only 9 months old...neither one of us were ready for this... but

we're happy and excited all the same... :}

Lol... The babies never seem to quit feeding... :}

As soon as she finish feeding them they're ready to start feeding again!!!...

It was the cutest thing when Mel got home from school... :}

As she was coming up the stairs she playfully told me "Daisy had her

puppies!"...

"OK...I said again... "Whatever"... :}

Melanie cried soooo much when she discovered that Daisy had had her

puppies"...:}

I laughed and said... "Sure she has Mel"

Then she told me I see something black in the doghouse"... and I

said.."un-hun" and i smiled... :}

And then all of a sudden she said in tears..."SHE HAD HER

BABIES MOM!!!... I'M NOT LYING!!!... I SWEAR TO GOD!!!!!"...and she

wouldn't stop crying...That's when I knew I had to check out her

story..

Mel knew NOT to swear to God... EVER!!!...

So... I got up... and went to the back deck... and lo and behold...

there they were... i counted them... 1..2...3...4...5...6..7..8...

EIGHT!!!!!... :)

But ... then Mel noticed that something was wrong with one of them...

it wasn't moving..

I figured it must had been sometime during the morning... while I was

dropping off Mel to school... then picking up the girls to bring them

back to the bus stop at my house... the puppies were born... and this

one had died... :{

Mel and I got Daisy to go downstairs so I could remove the deceased

puppy...

afterwards... Daisy went back to the bunch and startedfeeding them

again...

As I removed it... I heard several swalks above me in one of the pine

trees...

There was a hawk camping out in my pine tree outback... and it was

getting cooler, so I figured that it was better if i moved them in the

house...

I layed a blanket down and Daisy layed on it... and her babies went to

her for a feeding...

A few times she has gotten up... but Mel has layed Daisy's head on her

leg and gently stroked her face while she has been feeding and it has

worked a lot better for everyone...

And.. If that wasn't enough... she even put on playtex gloves and

helped her with the feeding...

They're both great mothers!!!..:}

I have even adapted the same routine... and it's working for us all

beautifully... :}

the feedings every 45 minutes to an hour is wearing me down... :}

Daisy makes me help her with them... well.... my daughter and myself...

meaning she have us to place each one on her brest and stroke her head

while she's lying on our lap!...

and it's exausting!... :}

Afterwards... she gives them a bath... then go outside to spend time

with Kato... our little Jack-O Bee...till she's ready to feed them

again...

Boy!!!...LOL... What I wouldn't do to get pampered like that!!!...:}

(Will post more later... :}...)
