Yeah, sorry no buck, and we won't wait around for pictures, you will have your hands full for a while. Congrads Straw, when all is settled down update us ok.
Straw is still out there..camera is dead and charging.
Have to say Callie and D are awesome with the kids. The one blk/tan came up to D and D was cleaning it and being real careful..Callie is laying down right in front of them being so calm. Ari didn't want the dogs there at first but she is now licking D's snout and not freaking when the kids go to the dogs.
The first one was so big..long and tall, I wasn't sure if there was going to be a 2nd one!
Ok so real quick. I don't think I'll be getting pictures up here today because I've got to get ready for work in a few. I'll ask Southern to get some up here. Not much birthing because camera died but a bunch of them more dried off and up an about.
Ok so I went back there to check on Sis and I was told that she has discharge but I had to go to the house thinking that it would take a few. I'm coming back out and can here her screaming from all the way out front. Ran back there and she was just starting to push the kid out. It too was in the sac like Sis' first kid. But unlike Sis' you could see stuff floating around in there. She was having a real hard time pushing and nothing was happening and stuff was floating around in there and you could see her tongue in there and her mouth open. I grabbed the sac and started pulling which broke the sac and some blood and the yellow fluid came spilling out. Southern told me it's a micomium birth which is what the 2nd kid in Heidi's litter died from. Glad we decided to grab and pull because she could have died. But I grabbed the legs and yanked her out and we got her nose and mouth clear as fast we could and dried her off a bit. At the same time we're clearing her nose she is already kidding the second one! Less than a minute and her comes the other one! She too was in a sac but this time was all good. She probably didn't need any help with that one but with all kinds of stuff going on, dangerous birth, trying to clean her up quick, etc, I just grabbed hold of the other kid and yanked her out too. She was kicking and screaming too! At first Arianna was only cleaning one and then she wasn't letting them nurse because she just wanted to clean them but after a few she settled down and both are doing great. Both were up and walking around in LESS than 5 minutes!! They are both drinking good and being cared for well by momma. The white one (first one) is much larger (7 pounds 13 oz) and is a wild thing. The black/brown one (second one) is smaller at only 4 pounds 7 oz but still a good size. Lower end but it's wean weight that counts.
So four does and all very pretty and can be registered as Purebred. I'm so proud of the dams and the kids. Hopefully they'll get pictures up later for you guys. Got to go ppl!
