We are Growing


Spirits pups were born on the 31st and Ellas was born on the 30th. At least it wasn't the same day.

They are doing really well and why not with such a doting mom with just 2.

Be sure to look at the videos.

1 Day Old

Well the gal and the boy are easy to tell apart. Thank you, Spirit for that.

Here is the gallery.

Mom and pups are doing well. They are 7 and 8 ounces.

They are active and seem to find their away around all of the pen. 

I may not have as many videos tonight. It depends on Willow and my leg. Besides how many videos can you watch? LOL

Not Yet

Here is my day

We had to set up a pen for Spirit as Ella is in Spirits so when I catch my breath I will redecorate. I had 3 hours sleep this morning at 730am. I have been monitoring Ella and pups as they are small but feisty and Ella keeps moving so they fall off. Tempie each time they cry wants to go in to take care of them even when she is told no. Nathan got split sleeps so about 6 hours. Dennis went to bed at 530 and will stay till 10-1030 when I can go to bed and sleep if Spirit allows. Spirit is still nesting. Wish she would have them now.

Spirit other than nesting all day so I constantly check her, she is low key and no issue. I hold her a number of times to make sure she knows she is loved. I believe I did one video of the nesting.

I get the videos uploaded as I can.

I can't go up and down to take care of pups but I am and it hurts too much to do so.I am living on pain pills so I have movement. Each time I try not to use pain pills I find myself crying as the pain is too great. Today I am living on pain pills and eating fiber.

I celebrate the pups but wouldn't it be nice that Spirit has them before bedtime so we both can get sleep. Nathan will sleep in the other room so he sleeps. Me, I can't as I worry about deliveries gone wrong as I am not awake. Mother's phobia...

Sorry just tired but Spirit - let's get on with it. LOL

I miss the pups that departed and the play I had with them.
