The House is Filled With The Pitter Patter of Tiny Paws Once Again.

Tia Marie did all the work, and Mr. Peanut get’s to claim the glory.  Isn’t that how it’s always been.  The proud parents are so happy, Tia a little over protective, and Peanut, curious as a cat.

 

Tia stayed true to form, and delivered 5 beautiful baby boys today.  Her labor started early, around 9:00 AM.  The first little one to grace our presence was at 12:48 PM.  A tiny little boy, light tan or light red and cream weighing in at 3.1 onz. The next was 3.3 onz. and white with a tiny bit of color on its back.  Then came a beautiful red, weighing a whopping 4.1 onz.  Then another white one at 3.8 onz., and last but not least a mostly red one at 3.6 onz.  The last one being delivered around 5:30 PM.

Tia struggled just a little, and we had to help her clean a few of the babies, but over all everything worked out just fine.  Tired and ready for rest she laid down with her little ones, but would not take her eyes off them.

After everything settled down, we had to change the bedding.  Tia was not real happy with us moving her and her babies around, but accepted things as long as one of us sat with her comforting and petting her.

They all have such cute little red heads and paws.

I’ll post more pictures later, so everyone can se them grow.

Tia Marie is expecting this weekend

I know I have been awfully quiet lately, I am sorry for that.  Well I do have some good news.  Tia and Peanut are expecting once again.  Tia, ready to pop any minute, has been sulking around the house.  She is THE drama queen, so there is a fair amount of her playing up on her condition.  She makes a big show of having to waddle around, and wanting comforting constantly.  Of course we don’t mind at all.

She is quite large, and has been pretty grumpy with the other dogs.  Last time she had a litter, she had four of the most beautiful puppies.  Two were long hair, and two were shorthair. 

We are looking forward to another wonderful litter.  Her due date is May 19’th, but I think we may be greeted with an early arrival, we’ll see.  I can tell you that we are far from patient with the waiting.  There is something so sweet about the sounds of newborn puppies in the house.

Rest assured I will post an update just as soon as she has the new babies.  Until then, we will be catering to her every need, after all she is our little Diva, and she knows it.
