All babies still doing fine. They had their dewclaws removed today.

Here's some pictures of Gracie in the garden while the babies were out. She is doing really well! better baby pics coming later, planning to take individual ones, they're sleeping now though!

And some baby pics from earlier

Sad news…. We lost one of the babies last night :(

He was the smallest of the litter and he was a bit slower than the others with putting on weight but he was fighting on and doing well. But he dropped some weight a couple of days ago so we started giving him "top up" feeds from a bottle between his feeding from his mum. But yesterday he went downhill very fast and there was nothing the vets could do for him :( Gracie is very upset. She is really, properly grieving. She just keeps cuddling around her other babies when they're feeding, like a cat. Poor girl. We've only lost two other puppies before. I always find it so hard to lose them as you really do get attached to them...

RIP little man.

This is him a couple of days ago... So gorgeous...

How sad.. I'm so sorry for your loss.. :(

[thunderbird8588]

So sorry to hear about the loss of the little Pup, poor Gacie, give her a hug from me.

[Basenjimamma]

Oh, that is so sad. Give Gracie a hug from Otis and I and know that we will keep Gracie and the pups in our thoughts…

[moetmum]

Such sad news, I am so sorry you lost the little boy, big hugs to poor Gracie.

[Maya]

Thanks all. It is terribly sad, and they had all been doing so well, it was quite sudden really :(

Gracie is very protective of her babies now. If anything though, its made her a better mum! She is suddenly cleaning them lots (including bums which she hadn't been doing!!) and spending much more time in the whelping box with them. Im told that she is much more settled now. I think she was really upset last night when we lost him, poor girl..

[ibi_n_sane]

I am sorry to hear about the loss of that puppy, that is the down side of breeding :(
