2 weeks gone by

Well I've got some photos of 2 weeks old.

They are now actually 3 weeks old as of yesterday - and boy have they changed in a week.

I've taken more photos but haven't had a chance to upload them yet (hopefully they've come out ok).

The 2 week old photos (below) aren't the best shots and all I have but at least we can see them growing and changing.

Feels like ages ago that they were just 2 weeks old - awwwwwwww!!!!!

This is the time I have to start making notes as time passes sooooo quickly and we forget what's going on. They started toy fighting with each other, opened their eyes (started to), walking much better and running into things, lol.

So much fun already!!!!!

They're getting lots and lots of visitors (Samroc, Mini and Diva loving it too) - they're getting handled lots and of course lots and lots of kisses and cuddles.


Pup 1 (black and white boy)

Pup 2 (girl - not sure if she's B&W or Tri yet - she's still figuring it out vbg)

pup 3 (this girl wants a bit of everything - she's tricolour with speckles coming through now in her face and legs - greedy guts, lol)

Pup 4 (black and white boy - getting speckles through his legs and face)

Pup 5 (black and white girl)

Pup 6 (tricolour girl)

Pup 7 (black and white speckled girl)

Wee Diva's - 1 week old

Well here are the pups at 1 week old.

They are 2 weeks old today but I have some photo taking to do today before I can post them. Most of them have their eyes open and all of them are walking around.

Well ok - enough rabbiting on - here's the pups - awwwwwwww.


Pup 1 - black and white blaze boy. Is a handsome little chap and I call him mini mav 'cause he looks like a miniture version of his uncle Maverick, owned by Graeme Fairley. He has his eyes open, and likes to explore. He wanders around and is stable on his wee legs.

Pup 2 - tricolour splitface girl. She loves to have cuddles and curls up in your arms. Seems like a very satisfied little pup. Still got her eyes to open yet. This girl is one of my favourites at the moment.

Pup 3 - Tricolour girl. This little girl is magic. She loves to sleep in your arms. She is very cute and has the cutest little bark when she's telling Diva she's hungry. Would say this little girl is another of my favourites.

Pup 4 - Black and white boy. This little fella is such a charmer. He had a very white face when he was born and because of all the pinkness around the eyes and face he was known as fugly the 2nd, lol. Now he has darkened up around the eyes and nose and has started to develop wee freckles on his face. His eyes are fully open now (as of yesterday) and he is a wee stunner. He likes to explore and loves cuddles. At the moment his wee man is one of my favourites - if not my favourite

Pup 5 - Black and White stripe girl - awwwwww. Have to get a photo of when she sits. She does it quite often and the party piece is when she does it and people are over I say "sit" and she's sitting - what a star, lol and it is sooooooooooo cute. Think this wee girl will be very pretty.

Pup 6 - Tricolour splitfaced girl. This wee lass is such a trooper. She was the first to walk and the first to open her eyes. Was soooo funny yesterday - she has had her eyes open for a few days now and not sure how much she can see - if anything yet, but they were all having a feed and she walked right up to diva's head, stopped and looked as if she was working out - I can see you mum, that's what you look like, and started checking out Diva's mouth then nose then ears - may be she can't see a thing but looked soooooo cute :-)))

Pup 7 - Black and White speckled splitfaced girl. This wee girl is such a cutie, can't help but pick her up and give her big hugs - wonder if she will have a speckled face like her daddy????? She still has her wee eyes to open. She has a wee black mark on her head that looks like a french berret.

Will post another update soon.

snow white and the seven dwarfs

Well it's fantastic news to announce

Diva had her puppies - all ok including mum - wooooooohhhhhhoooooooo

She is such a good girl - yep she had the 3 pups that were spotted on the ultrasound - go Diva - not only that she had an extra 4 just for good luck.

Wee Diva managed to store 7 gorgeous puppies in that belly of hers.

It was on Saturday morning - around 1am ish and she was up and down, up and down off the bed. I knew the pups must be coming so of course had no intention of having a second of shut eye - even blinking became an annoyance, lol.

So of course she had puppy number one on my bed. The little munchkin was half out so I helped him all the way - then he didn't look like he was breathing - certainly wasn't moving - so now what - all that Deb Nook told me went out the window along with the "don't panic" - WTF.

So at this time it's 2.30 in the am - I called Megan and no answer - about 20 seconds later the phone goes - "She's had the first one" - "ok so is he breathing?" - "don't think so" - "ok get a towel" - and then the sound of - waaaaaahhhh waaaaaahhh - yip he's breathing - "so is she cleaning him and cutting the chord?" - "she's cleaning him but not cutting the chord" - "go get some cotton and scissors" - so though I go and grabbed the scissors and got some cotton wool to stop the bleeding - "ok got them - now what?" "you need to tie a knot on the chord - about 2-3cm from the pup" - what the...... the chords only about 4cm long - how can I tie a knot in this - so this conversation lasted about 3 or so minutes - me puzzled in the fact that the pup keeps moving, the chord is only short and how the heck am I going to get a knot in that - should have kept to the girl guides - sure they do knots - but the pup can't be looped around, pulled through and then the knot is tied - chord is way too short - "so tie the cotton around the chord and make a knot" - "ohhhh, cotton - I got cotton wool, doh - ok hang on - right got the cotton" "now tie the knot and cut the chord on Diva's side" "ok done that - awwwwww, thanks Megan - BTW how did you know it was a boy? hmmmm" - so I allowed Megan to go back to bed, lol and I carried little number one black and white boy with a more traditional markings into the nursery.

Not too long afterwards she had number 2 - a little split faced girl. She looked massive - wasn't any bigger than number one but I think the white on the face made her look bigger, awww, little black and white split faced girl. Number 3 can not too much later. Another little girl, awwwwwww. The third girl is very white faced, also black and white.

Then nothing for a while. I went through to put on the kettle to skull some more coffee - was around 5am at this point. I went back in and Diva was licking girl number 3 like mad - she was all soaking wet again - OMG she's trying to eat her - I rush over and grab the pup - hang on this one's a boy - what - oh sorry Diva - she had just had another pup. Another very white faced boy, black and white.

Not long after diva had another little girl - a gorgeous black and white little girl with a lovely wide white blaze that continues down through her collar.

At 7.30am Megan called to see how everything was and I was telling her about the other 4 and we were having a chuckle about me having a blonde moment with cotton wool - how funny - hang on the pups are crying - gotta go, she's probably lying on one of them - so I hang up and rush through - wow, she's just had another one - another split face little girl - quite white faced but more black than girl 3.

About 8.30 she had another girl - very very similar to the last one.

So that was that - 7 little dwarfs, all happy looking and pink nosed and squeeking, lol.

They were born on Saturday and this is now Thursday - day 5. Some of their markings have changed quite a lot already.

It looks at this point there will be 3 tri colours, 2 speckled black and white and 2 black and white - who knows though at this point, it could all change again in a week. The most important thing is that they are all ok, healthy and little fatties :-)

I'll do frequent updates on them and post some photos too.

Big thanks to Megan and Deb Nook, thank God all went ok and my little baby Diva is all ok - she may be a mummy now but is still my little blue eyed pup full of mischief - wonder what colour the pups eyes will be????

Cheers for now and here's a photo of the little tykes at 2 days old in order of birth
