Pups Are Here 

Click on Photo for Larger View1st born 10:05am Brown tan sable with slight white tips on feet and white blaze on chest. This gal weighs 5-6/8oz 165g

Photos will be found here. Will add to the gallery, as we go.

Click on Photo for Larger View2nd born sable and white 10:12am -brown tan and white sable . He has white on collar, top of head, feet and nose. He weighs 6-6/8oz 192g

All videos can be found here.

Click on Photo for Larger ViewThis one was born when they did a c-section. We were able to be there. We rubbed him down, cleaned him up. He is the smallest. He is 4-6/8oz 136g. He is a darker brown boy that is feisty.

We lost the others and I was crying in my mask at the vets  - a hard thing to do. They allowed us to help. We had 6 - 3 lost.

Raven's uterus ruptured so she had to go to emerg. We do not know why. Pups had cords around them They gave us an estimate of 3 to 5 grand to just monitor for 24 to 48 hours. Don't have it but we will figure it out. It will be touch and go with Raven for that time. Yes, we could lose her and I can't begin to tell you how that makes me feel. I know some of this is due to my lack of sleep but I can't stop crying. Most telling will be 24 hours from now. No fever she will be fine. She did feed her pups.

Misty is delighted to feed the pups, clean them and love them up. We will see if Raven has milk when she comes home - hoping. These are her pups.

I will add this 3rd pup to the gallery. Not your normal. No video at a vet - just photos when we arrived home.

I need sleep but Dennis needs more as he is on night shift. I need food. Not even sure if we have anything in the house. Oh well.

Please celebrate the 3. They are gorgeous!

Videos are Now Up With Misty and Raven's 3.

Oh dear! Hoping all goes well. Did you get your regular Vet? Looked at the x-ray again not that I know anything but there were two heading down that to me seemed they could cause problems.
I am sure the vet will handle it. I am glad that at least one of you is inside with her. Will keep watching for updates.

So sorry about all this Darlah. I've been checking ravens blog all day and suspected something was amiss after not seeing any updates since 10:15 am.

Sending positive vibes and prayers to Raven, her pups and you and Nathan!

Good luck. β€πŸ’•

March 13, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterRuth Shinder

Thinking of you both and your sweet girl. Hoping you can all come home soon. Sending healing thoughts.

March 13, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterMarianne

My heart breaks for you. I have been thinking of you all all day. Last time something like this happened was with Saffron when she lost one of Meadow's litter mates. Am hoping Raven pulls through this as well as Saffron did and she can be home soon with her beautiful 3.

He dropped me off so I can bring the pups in to feed etc. Nathan is still sitting OUTSIDE of emerg with Raven as they have a lineup. It's horrid. He has been sitting in the van outside since 5. They just took her in after 50 min and will call him back in 45 min and was asked to remain.
