lucee & puppies
One day old! Lucee finally put down her squeaky toy...but it still has to be in the basket with her. We were still having to make her lay down to nurse the puppies but finally, about 15 minutes ago, she actually laid down and is letting them nurse. Hallelujah!

OMG, so tiny but very chunky and sturdy!!


I guess we were meanies but our girls (labs) had to stay with the pups. We had a separate room and bit whelping box (4' x 4'). For a few days we'd have to DRAG them out just to pee!

We had a single bed in the same room and for a few days one of us slept (or tried to sleep) in there with them, just to make sure all was well.

And of course we had to be there for the whole whelping process.. even pushing with them, hard on the muscles.

Those three look like great little pups to me. Love how shiny the black boy is.

Thanks. We are going to try shutting Lucee up with me and the puppies tonite. She has slept next to DH for her 3 years, we are not to sure how things are going to go...but it's worth a try. We have just spoiled these pugs rotten. I said to DH "I wonder how life is going to be now with 5 pugs."

Oh, I'd like to see a pix of the babies with your hand for comparison. It's hard to get an idea of their size on the photo you posted.

Hormones rule! We took Seamonkey's advice and locked Lucee up with me. The hormones kicked in and she is now in mommy mode. The puppies are fat and quiet. I kept getting up thru the nite and checking but tonite I will beable to sleep without that worry.

OK now does anyone have advice on how to live with a 72 year old man who is spoiled rotten?

OK, just updating my doggie pics since Im geekeing out for BB to start!!
Soleil, my pyr/samoyed mix is 10 1/2 ad has Degenerative Myelopathy. It has no cure, and she is just losig sensation in her back legs, so she stumbles a bit. Luckily, there is no pain, and she is happy as ever, so she cant go on walks aymore.
I just bought her a wheelchair, and she is in heaven!! She now can go on her long walks, and out runs my 5 year old, VERY lazy Pyrenees Beau.
Here is a pic of Soleil with her new wheels. They are really lightweight and she doesnt even notice that she is using them. the chair pivots and turns around as quick as she does, perfect for finding all those nasty smells on a walk quickly. I just wish they made something she could use around the house, but this is truly a Godsend for her!!

No pics of Beau, he is afraid of the camera, and basically everything else!

Christii, she looks happy as can be! I can't tell from the pix... do her rear legs have any mobility when she's in the "chair"? Meaning, are they in slings, so that it kinda looks like she's using her back legs, although they are off the ground? (There's a German Shephard in my 'hood who uses a similar device, albeit MUCH smaller. I think it's small enough to use inside a home. At any rate, the shephard looks like he enjoys his long walks now, too!)

no, she is not using slings, and uses her back legs. She still can walk, just loses feeling in her rear legs, forgets they are there, and stumbles or falls. this chair gives her the stability she needs. She walks with her front legs, and uses her back ones in a walking motion, but doesnt rely on them. Its amazing! Ive really looked into a smaller one, but cat find aything. the company that makes mie can do a smaller bottoom for me, but it really affects the balance, so im not sure i want to do it. Just not sure how small I can go, and not have her fall over!!
She IS so happy in it, which basically meas she forgets it there, and just zips around the neighborhood again!

also, the chair looks really heavy and bulky, but it is SO lightweight!! I tried another company and hated it. It was very heavy and restrictive. this chair is all aluminum and she can really move freely in it. The harness is soft fabric, and doesnt pull or bind up at all. they also are amazing with helping you fit it correctly. They said that this one is a bit too short for her, so they are sending me a new top half, ad only charging $10 freight. I paid $300 for a refurbished one, and the new ones would be about $370 for her size. It does come with the attachable leg slings, if and whe she would need them.
