After three days of round the clock force feeding her pups, and pretty much NO sleep Reba's hormones FINALLY kicked in. It finally hit her last night that these are her babies and she must clean and protect them, and mom no longer has to sit and force me to feed her babies...YEAH!!!!!! Its just in time since my girl Lizzie is due this weeeknd, I bred her thinking one would miss since that has been my luck the last few years when I tried to breed a litter. I went from no pups, or a 1 pup, 3 pup litter, to way too many pups :-) Since my vet said Reba looked like she was having 6 or 8 pups, and had 11, and said Liz is going to have atleast 9..oh my, I guess its true about being careful what you wish for...never again....Now I must go rest since I have a feeling after this weekend, I will be geting no rest for the next few months Ann Marie www.amarigsd.com Home of Ch Fairway's Leah v Nadelwald TC ROM OFA Ch Amari's Beware of Foxy Roxy CGC TC OFA Amari's Elizabeth Taylor (Major pointed/Best in Show Bred-By winner) Breeder/Owner of R/Best in Futurity Ch Amari's Ava Gardner TC OFA Ch Amari's Bandit of Broadcreek OFA (Multiple Group Placer) Amari's Blissfull Jazz CGC TDI (Major pointed) Amari's Cinderella von Hornberger (Ch pointed) Amari's Chances Are (Ch pointed) Amari's Ella Enchanted (Ch pointed @ 7 months/Major Reserve @ 11 months) ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
