Well the puppies have reached 7 weeks on monday.
They all love their food i give them puppy dry complete food which i moisten with warm water i did try them on it dry but they prefer it moist.They have all taken to weaning very well mum dont feed them no more she hasnt for about two weeks now.
All the puppies have names now we have : Buster-Shaz-Buddy-Redgy-Vinnie and Princess.
We sold the last two puppies today.
Three of the puppies are going to their new homes next week.
Buster is going to his new home tomorrow ( Sunday ).Vinnie is going to his new home on Monday and Princess is going to her new home Wednesday.
The last three puppies are going to their new homes on the 27/12/11.
I think it is going to be a sad moment when the puppies leave as we have grown very attached to them.
I will post recent photos of all the puppies in the week.

I've been wanting to reply to this topic for WEEKS!!!!

Firstly, How is Dido now that she isn't suckling puppies? I am hoping both Ebony and Dido are doing better.. Waiitng ever so eagerly for the promised pictures...

I know, Sheepdog.
I have seen quite a few vets in my time, good and bad ones.
I was fortunate enough to work for a very competent one (f only he had been as good a human being as he was a vet, things would have been great, but that is a different story).

Anyhow, I found it quite surprising about the new heat cycle, but did not really to question the vet's judgement (yet).


I sadly have to agree with Sheepdog too, the crowd going into the college is a sucky one so they come out sucky too. Like I said in another post, the good ones go ahead to open their own clinics and become more focused on the money while the rotten ones decide to stick around at places where they do some serious damage. If you have never had a bad experience with your vet, I would not ask you to doubt him now BUT if you feel something does not feel right, don't hesitate to question him.

However, as I mentioned before, my dog is NOT going on that tbale until I am sure she is strong enough to survive the anaesthetic.


You are correct here, you shouldn't rush into anything if you feel she isn't strong enough to handle it since all three phases of surgery (pre,surgery & post surgery) is a very taxing thing on the animal.

And, once again, Sheepdog, thank you so much for all your wonderful help and advice.
(By the way, I shall be posting links to a few videos of the puppies).
Here is one: http://www.facebook....v/2246911258560
This is about the puppies eating by themselves.

And this one: http://www.facebook.com/v/2246911258560

This one is where the puppies are walking around.


Sadly this one is private, could you please make it public.. And greedy puppies are always the best thing to watch, did you notice the one little rugrat sneaking from under the others to get to the bowl.. Makes me want to get another baby animal >_<

Well people you are not going to believe this our cat Ebony gave birth to 5 kittens this afternoon.
We didnt suspect Ebony being pregnant until about 2 weeks ago this is her 2nd litter and will be her last litter.
This afternoon mrdee and i had a nap with our eldest grandaughter who is staying over till tuesday.
Upon waking up i went to the kitchen followed by lucky and dido on entering the kitchen i heard what i thought was tiny meows i looked to where Ebony was laying and i could see a kitten so i quickly cleared lucky and dido out of the kitchen before they had chance to bark at Ebony as they usually do.
I went back to the kitchen not just one kitten but three kittens were on the bench so Ebony had decided to have her kittens on the kitchen work bench instead of the laundry basket i had made up for her and showed her a couple of times.
I called mrdee to the kitchen i placed the laundry basket on the work bench and mrdee placed Ebony and the three kittens in it and i went and prepared one of the spare bedrooms to put Ebony and her kittens in i put a litter tray in there for Ebony water and food.I went down to the kitchen and carried Ebony and the three kittens in the laundry basket to the spare room.
I then went and scrubbed the kitchen work bench clean and sterelized it.
I went upstairs a little while later before i got dinner and there was five kittens with Ebony in the basket all cleaned up and feeding.
An hour ago i went to check on Ebony and the kittens there were still only five kittens but Ebony had been and eaten and drunk some water.
And it looks like three have got new homes already.

OMG Kittens and puppies!!!!! You are so lucky. At my birth home, all of our cats were mostly outside cats who used to come home only for food or if it was raining/cold. They used to often disappear for weeks on end or sometimes months.. Most of the toms stayed at home (protecting their territory I suppose) but the girls hardly stayed at home. The only time they'd come home is when the stork would come to them :lol:

We once had three girls bring back half a dozen each, my mother almost cried(I think she did cry).

:( I am so sad for you, I had a really tough time letting go of my pups, I cried so much. Shaz and Vinnie are just funny names, they must be nice and big now that they are 7 weeks old.. big tummies, those frownie faces and the hyperactivity... **sigh** Which is the puppy you guys planned on keeping? Or are all of them going to new homes?

Well this is late in coming but here is an update on the puppies.
I Cant believe the puppies are 18 weeks old today where has the time gone it has flown by.
And like we said we would do we kept 2 of the puppies Gaston and Marley.
Vinnie,Buster,Shaz,Buddy,Redge,and Holly all went to their new homes before the 27/12/11.
I must admit it was sad seeing the group going down gradually we are lucky we have had updates on how all 6 puppies are doing.
Marley and Gaston have the run of the house now and they love it in the the evening we put them in their play pen for the night.
Once the morning arrives the jump out of the play pen them boys can really jump.
I had the boys on puppy biscuits which i moistened with tepid what but their little poos were strange they were a greeny black colour and like a cow pat so i put them on dog meat and mixer and their poos went to looking normal.
And you can imagine they love meal times they get so excited they jump up and dog the bowls out of your hand.
So we are learning them the sit command so when i give them their food they have to sit before i put the bowls on the floor.
We dont regrette one minute keeping 2 puppies it is hard training 2 puppies at one time buts its fun too.
And mum Dido loves playing with the puppies dad Lucky can get a bit grumpy with them maybe because he is older.
And Dido still tells them off when she sees in her eyes that they are being naughty.
I am going upload a few photos of Gaston and Marley enjoy them.

Well here we are nearly 5 months since the puppies were born.
And Dido has come into season for the first time since giving birth to the puppies.
What fun and games we are having NOT keeping Lucky and Dido away from one another.As we dont want Dido getting pregnant again after such a short time.

Hi Nanna,

I am so sorry for not replying to your earlier post early enough but I did see the pictures when you had posted them. I must admit, those pups are incredibly handsome and I hope they are bred in the future.. What beautiful puppies! **sigh** I wish I could take them home :)

And I know the pain of trying to keep animals in season from following Mother Nature's commands >_< . We had resorted to tying a bell around the neck of our oldest so that we would know where she was at every given second.. Of course that idea failed when my brother accidentally let her out...

Well keep us posted on the puppies and maybe a pic of Dido now :)
