Gold @Excuseme Pregnancy Diary

[JoanneF]

She looks like a very capable mum. Do you give her anything different in her diet while she has the puppies?

 

[excuseme]

Nothing different in her diet, just more of it as the puppies grow and require more milk.
She is on an all raw diet with plenty of variety, there should be nothing else required.

What a gorgeous little family! She looks very content.

Love the pup heading in the wrong direction in the first photo!

What an amazing journey. Thank you for sharing this with us all @excuseme

Time for the next part of the journey to begin!

All home with mum now. Sika was very hungry and thirsty, she missed breakfast today but the vets did feed her a small amount of kibble. She has had a small feed at normal time since she has been home (some nice wet green tripe).
All settled under the stairs now.
Here's todays picture with the complete family.View attachment 111974082 View attachment 111974081

Yes we do! How did you get yours @JudyN ???

I use this site, @Josie Your Smileys. Free Additional Smileys for Forums. Beautiful Dolls Though I don't know anything about installing smilies on forums and whether there's any copyright issues involved.

ETA: I don't know why it formatted the url in that way, I just pasted in the url. Bit worried about the 'Beautiful Dolls' bit....

 

[Josie]

Ha ha I did wonder @JudyN - I will ask Oliver if he can add some extra emojis!!

How did the first night go @excuseme ??

 

[excuseme]

We had a very easy first night, mum was still very quiet after her operation, all puppies were carefully lined up along the "milk bar" and attended to by mum when required. Sika is very careful when moving about and finding a new comfortable position, she looks before she sits, checking to see where the puppies are.

We have all caught up on our 2 nights of lost sleep.
We have an appointment with our vet tomorrow.

 

[Josie]

Thanks for the update! glad to hear the first night went well

I bet you just want to stare at them all day

 

[excuseme]

Today. I really don't know what she was looking at, maybe one of the others was taking a peep from behind me!

 

[Josie]

Oh my they are GOREGOUS!! Is the one under her front leg the same one that was under her bum in the other photo?

Great 'Caption this' photo! She's thinking.... don't let there be anymore!

Oh wow! they are huge, but Sika looks so funny and who would have thought it all golden?
They are Gorgeous!!!!

 

[excuseme]

Oh Josie, I have no idea !!

I have just discovered this reply to Josie, I obviously did not click the post reply button.

 

[excuseme]

I love the caption! it's fantastic

 

[Whippylove]

They are just gorgeous just look like little mini mum, i really love the golden colour ahh so cute!

 

[excuseme]

We've just had another good 24hrs. You would never have known what Sika had gone through to get her last puppy.
She does not wear a bucket/hood to stop her from worrying the stitches, it's almost as if she doesn't know they are there!
We ore off to see the vet soon for check up.
