Here is Sadie and puppies in Whelping room. Sadie is resting comfortably and the puppies are all doing great! They will stay in the birthing tub a few more weeks. I have got 1st and half of 2nd shift and Beth has half of 2nd and most of 3rd shift until I get up in the mornings then she goes to bed and rest for her next shift. We are rotating them every 2 hours now because there are SO many and also bottle feeding, supplementing half and half goats milk so that its not so hard on the momma and to make sure the puppies get all the nutrients they need.
They are absolutely beautiful. Each and every one. The yellow ribbon puppy seems to cry out, "Ma Ma, Ma Ma, Ma Ma". Its So adorable! She's gonna be a talker...Lol They are being wwatched 24/7 and are pulled back up to the mom to feed every 30 minutes in between their 2 hour rotation.
I will not be leaving home for a good week or so yet but when I do I have a puppy sitter on call around the clock. I sure didnt want this many but when he blesses us, he blesses us 10 fold and I would'nt take back any one of them if I had to. They are so precious!
My back, neck, sholders and body still aches horribly from delivering all thirteen puppies that took over 14 hrs. I was there by her side the entire time! Their cords were so short that the pup would simply hang out of the mom with the sac still intact. I didnt want her chewing them because of complications so I cut them out of their sacs and cut all 13 puppies cords.
Just wanted to update all you guys and let you know we are still here and doing very well and still recouperating. Gotta get back to work :-)
