Kali was bred to
Can Ch Labradales Coffee Crisp
(page down to "Coffee" to see his picture), puppies will be due 6/15 to
6/17. In mid-May she will either have a pregnancy test or be palpated to
confirm pups are on the way. |
| 05/15/04 |
The trip to the vet confirmed that Kali is
pregnant!! |
| 06/17/04 |
Kali had her pups
this morning. 5 Pups,, 3 boys, 2 girls. Kali
needed an emergency C-Section. Kali is doing good, the boys are real bruisers,
the girls are smaller. |
| 06/19 |
The pups are
growing. The little pink girl needs to be bottle fed as she has not been able
to nurse well from mom. The rest of the pups are packing on the weight as mom
has plenty of milk. The first movie |
| 06/22 |
The boys are
getting too fat!! Will have to keep Kali out of the pool so they don't
constantly eat. The little pink girl was back to the vet and she has a small
cleft palate. She's getting bigger, but it's hard to keep up with the boys. The
boys are a bit fussy at times. |
| 06/23 |
New movie . |
| 06/24 |
One week old!!
Everyone is doing well, the Pink girl is getting close to pound. The big
male is 2.5 lbs. The boys feel like lead when I pick them up. I think they have
slowed down a tiny bit. Two of the boys have a rug burn from sliding thier big
tummies across the bedding. Pretty soon they will be trying to walk a little.

the eyes should even be. |

New home
New home 2 The pups were moved
downstairs to a larger area. It's cooler down there so the big boys are more
comfortable. The pink girl is now 2lbs as of today!! She has her eyes open and
walks around just like the other pups. |
| 07/08 |
All lined up

weeks old. The black boy is 6lb 8oz, the multi girl is 4lb 8oz. The teeth are
starting to come in, you can see the white bumps in the gums and can feel them
when they chew on your hands. |

Playing with toys
Black boy looking more like a
Shar-Pei than a lab. More playing The
teeth are getting sharper, another couple of days and I won't be able to let
them chew on hands and toes. Everyone got new collars as the ric-rac needed to
be changed too often. The multi girl had a purple collar as I was unable to
find one to match her. |

they were more whiney Outside

Black running to me
Pink on the attack Pink thinks she's
pretty feisty and will try to fight with the rest of the pups, it doens't take
long before she is on the ground. They others are just too heavy for her. |

The pups really love to be outside now. They are
exploring the whole area, digging, eating weeds and my shrubs.

7 weeks today. Kali is still feeding the pups about
twice a day. They all had their shots today and vet check. Everyone is doing
great. Black boy is now 16lb, Red is 14.2lb, Blue is 14lb, Pink is 7lb 4oz,
Multi is 11lb 6oz. Everyone was up north at the cabin the past 5 days. We had
the pups down at the beach to dig in the sand and try some swimming. Everyone,
except Pink girl, got in the water and swam. Black boy was a natural, he
started walking in and when the bottom couldn't be used, he just started
swimming away. The rest were a bit more tenative.
The cable modem is on
the fritz so no pictures or movies until that is fixed - should be late on
Monday. |

I think I'm back online... Saturday was the day to
pick the show puppy. The show pick is the Blue boy. I've included head and side
shots of all the pups. The girls just would not stack, it was a real battle to
them to quit squirming and stand still long enough to take a picture.

Kona (Blue boy) with ears flapping in
the wind. A few minutes later, Kona pushed Bella into the water. She landed
feet down.. didn't even get her head wet and swam off to shore. It seems that
the times we are at the cabin the waves are way too large for the little ones
to really swim without the waves breaking over their heads. |
