1/17  Trippy is pregnant. The Dr estimates 9 pups. 4 more weeks to go until her due date.
1/31  Trippy at 7 weeks  along. 2 weeks to go.
2/7  Trippy at 8 weeks  along. Less than 1 week to go.
2/13  The puppies have arrived. The first pup was born Wednesday night at 11, the rest were delivered on Thursday. Delivery sort of stalled out after a partially stuck pup was finally delivered. A trip to the vet got the last 2 or 3 out. Turned out there was a 4th pup so the total is 10 - 3 males and 7 females. The males have red, dark blue and black rick rack. All the other colors are girls. It was an all-nighter and everyone was glad to make it back home and try to catch some sleep. Trippy is tired but doing a great job taking care of the babies.

2/14  Happy Valentines Day. The chocolates are doing great, eating constantly and some have even put on a couple of ounces. Their dew claws will be removed this afternoon. Trippy is doing well, loving the extra food with yogurt and anything thing else she wants or needs. Box of Chocolates   Box of Chocolates - The Movie  
2/15  Another snowy day. The pups are all doing well and nursing constantly. They are starting to fill out and aren't looking like newborns as much. Picture   of the day.
2/16  The pups are growing like weeds. I had to let out the collar on the red boy. Will need to do the same for a couple of others tomorrow. The first pool was getting rather tight so the pups were moved to the big pool this evening. Now Trippy can stretch out a bit more. Working it  .
2/17  The new pool gives everyone more room. Trippy can really stretch out and nooze. New Pool  , Mound of Chocolate  .
2/18  The pups have a very thick undercoat already and they all have nice otter tails. They are up on their feet, with their bellies off the ground, more than I expected for less than a week old. And they can move pretty fast too when they want to. I'll try to get a movie of that if I can. Getting crowded  , A shot from behind  .
2/20  The pups are a week old today!! The biggest is the multi-colored girl at 1 lb 14oz and the light blue girl at 1 lb 7oz is the smallest. Of course things change daily. It still amazes me that they can grow this fast in just 7 days. First group  snoozing. Second group  snoozing. Sucking down the milk  , Food fight  , Blue boy snoozing  .
2/21  Another blizzard. We only lost power for an instant, yeah! Two pups, multi girl and dark blue boy are now 2 lbs. The rest aren't far behind. The black boy has a new "big boy" collar on. His rick rack couldn't be let out anymore. Over crowded  , The boys bonding  .

2/27  Had a surprise this morning, several of the pups have their eyes starting to open. I also introduced baby cereal to the pups. Some were pleased with it, some not so much. Either way there was some crusty faces and feet. Black boy   passed out on the cereal dish. Yellow girl   with her eyes partially open. Black boy   chewing on mom's foot.    Moving around.  More movingy  around.
2/28  Two weeks today. The eyes are getting even more wide open and I can tell that they are hearing things. It's getting noisey   when they are hungry or smell mom.
3/01  The multi girl is now 3 lbs even, the dark blue boy is only an ounce less. Happy Family  .
3/02  The multi girl and the dark blue boy are now tied at a little over 3lbs. The smallest is light blue girl at 2lb 8oz. Snoozing  .
3/03  A big day for the pups. They were wormed today and then moved into their new pen. No more pool for them. New pen  , Always eating  .
3/04  Their first night in the big pen went well. Light blue girl got lost at the far end and was crying a bit. Once I carried her to mom she was happy.

3/07  Long night in the emergency vet clinic. Trippy has developed mastitis and it seems like it happened within a few hours. She is not feeling well at all and is in pain. After IV fluid and antibiotics she is at least trying to eat. This morning she is still not feeling very good. Sure wish the antibiotics would kick in fast.
3/08  The antibiotics never kicked in yesterday and with Trippy's temp going up, we went to the specialist in the Cities. Not good news, Trippy had necrotic mastitis and two teats had to be surgically removed. Trippy spent Friday night at the clinic with surgery just before midnight. Surgery went well and I was able to pick her up this afternoon. She is feeling much better, but very sore. The pups have adapted to lapping up milk with baby cereal and then onto ground up puppy food added to the mix. It's messy and the pups need face washes after eating. Trippy is resting and not worried about feeding the pups anymore. The crew   snoozing with full bellies before I left to pick Trippy up.
3/09  Trippy is very sore and spends most of her time sleeping and healing. The pups have adapted to their new feeding schedule and are learning how to lap up their food. Their teeth are just starting to come in, each day they are getting more noticeable. Since Trippy isn't in the pen with them and they can't cozy up to her, we put in a raised bed for them to hide under. Pup cave   , Pup cave II  
3/10  Trippy went for a check of her incision, things are going well. She is a little more perky than yesterday but sleeps most of the day. Feeding time is pretty messy. I take 2 or 3 pups into the small pool and give them a dish for their food. It's messy but I can monitor how much each pup eats. , Cleanup Crew  
3/11  A quiet day for Trippy and she seems to be feeling a bit better - the tails is going more often and she found a way to chew her rawhide with the cone on her head! Contented puppy  sounds.

3/20  5 weeks old today. The biggest pup is the Teal girl at 5lb 9oz. Red and Dark Blue boys are an ounce behind at 5lb 8oz. The smallest are Light Blue girl and Lime girl at 4lb 12oz. The rest of the pups are right around 5lb 6-7oz. I'll be working on stacks and head shots when they wake up from their nap. We've started moving the feedings out to every 5 hrs and hopefully by 6 weeks it will be 4xday and no more feedings in the middle of the night. They all know their names (color of the collar) and respond to it, even when they are chewing on another pup's ear. Head shots  , Stacks  
3/21  It gets very noisey at feeding time. Each pup wants to be first and then there are the ones that have already been fed that want more. Hungry Hungry Hippos  .
3/22  The pups were introduced to garlic doggy bagels and they all figured out what to do. The movie is of lime girl whining while chewing on the bagel. The only thing I can figure out with the whining is that it must taste really good. Tis Tasty  .
3/24  Some head shots of the girls that were awake. Jim called their name and zoomed in to get a close up of their heads. The rest of the pups were snoozing. Lime  , Yellow  , Green  , Lt Blue  , Pink  .

The pups are now on dry kibble and are fed only 3 times a day. Tomorrow morning could be very noisy. Someone destroyed Mr. Red's collar. In the first movie he has no collar on, in the rest of them he has a new red collar with silver around it. Trippy had to have minor surgery again to get the edges of her incision to heal together.
