Slammers' new mom and dad want to spay Slammer as soon as possible as they are not into the heat cycles and they agreed to a second and final litter before she was spayed. The timing worked out that now is a good time.
Slammer started about 12:30 a.m. and was done by 3:00 a.m. The ultrasound showed 3 pups and after the 3rd pup she didn't feel done so we waited. The last puppy was of good size and was having a bit of a rough time making it out. We have never had one "get stuck" before. She pushed and we could feel it was close but nothing. We whisked Slammer out of the whelping box and walked her around for a minute and then finally got enough of the pup out to pull during her contractions. It was blue and not breathing and already out of the sac. Start to finish that all took about 3 minutes but it seemed like forever!! After a little brisk rubbing and getting goo out of her mouth she was fat, happy and nursing in seconds flat!!!
All four pups and Slammer are doing great!! And the best part is they are ALL girls..... We both triple checked :)
Girls are healthy strong pups weighing 7 3/8 oz to 5 1/4 oz and were nursing within seconds!!!!
Good girl Slammer!!!!
We found some old photos of Masher's mom, Shredder. I regret not taking more photos and videos of my little girl.
I miss you everyday Shredder but am ever grateful for the legacy you left behind.
So this was not our weekend at the AKC Invitational... Well at least not with Mushy :)
We had an oopsie in round two and I touched Masher .... I didn't even realize it until later. Masher ran clean, fast and hard the rest of the rounds. Hopefully we get another chance at this in the future.
Ella on the other hand had 4 clear rounds and we made it into the finals. That pretty much blew my mind. It was pretty stressful as she has been known to fly off her contacts, pop out of the weaves and we just got her teeter back not to long ago. She ran her heart out for me and she was such a good girl!!! 2011 was an eventful year for Miss Ella, Rattlesnake bite, MACH and finals at the Invitational!!!
Ella was the #1 Dalmatian and #2 in the Non-Sporting Group!!!!
Exhausted!!!
I am thrilled that little Stunner won Best Puppy in Show at his very first show!!!
Julie said that he showed like he has been doing this forever. I bet he thought it was super easy peasy to get treats for just standing there:)
