Puppies! Puppies!! Puppies!!!
This has been a really busy summer and we have been having a blast! I am still trying to figure out where the month of July went. We have been hanging out at our friend’s pool a lot because it has been so hot….I gotta say. I LOVE THE HEAT!!!
Juicy’s babies are getting so big and they are all just adorable. Dolce discovered his voice yesterday. He looked up at me and did a little playful growl bark. It was really cute…I asked him what he was trying to tell me, but I think he was a little shocked a voice came out of his mouth. :0)
I started them on their puppy mush Wednesday evening and that was just plain cute. They all started off licking it from my finger and then just dived in feet first. Oh what a mess! Juicy cleaned them up pretty well, but last night I ran them under warm water to clean them off. They are walking around and playing. They love to climb on Juicy’s head and chew on her ears….they do love their mommy very much. They all love to be held and get lots of kisses from me. I always put them on their back and carry them around the house like babies. Oh yes, and then we sit down and I tilt them up and we play pat – a – cake! I pat their paws together and then we roll them and then we put them up high and give kisses for puppy and me! I have to say….I am totally loving these babies. :0)
We have a little bit of news to share!
Tinka and Foxie are both for sure pregnant!!! Tinka is due on August 13th and Foxie is due on August 19th…..August 19th is mine and Scott’s 10 year Anniversary!! We will be doing x –rays on them at the beginning of August to see how many babies we will be having.
Posh is in heat and we are breeding her to Bam Bam. We think those babies are going to have the cutest baby doll faces ever and they will be tiny too…..I LOVE all of my Bam Bam babies! He just never lets me down. :0) He is a wonderful little stud muffin. He is so funny when we say Bam! Bam! He does a little dance and gets so excited. We love our little man!
Tiny Tot Shih tzu update - You Tube Video Posted!!
Peanut will be joining his new family this Saturday so I am giving him lots of hugs and kisses and telling him how much we love him. We are going to miss this little guy very very much. He likes to jump on Jewel and then Jewel puts him in his place. I think she is really going to miss her brother. She does have Jaq to play with though, our new little stud muffin. Jewel and Jaq are quite the pair. :0) Jaq is very silly, he is always sitting right in the middle of the food dish chomping away.
Choxie's babies have their eyes open and they are fat butterballs. All of her babies are very beautiful. I absolutely love their faces.
Juicy's babies are growing nicely. Their eyes are not open yet, but they will be within the next 2 - 3 days! I cannot wait to see them with their eyes open and seeing the world for the first time. I did take a couple short videos of them and just got them uploaded!!!

Puppy Update!
I took Juicy's babies to get their dew claws removed yesterday. They were not happy about that yesterday, but are over it today. :0) They are growing nicely and are all very cute. I am anxious for them to open their eyes....but that won't be for about a week or so.
Shih-Tzu puppies 1 day old
Here is our proud mommy - Juicy with her 4 beautiful babies! She was pretty tired out after the long night and morning we had but today she looks really good and I think she feels refreshed. She is a wonderful mom and loves her babies very much. :0) They are all adorable. Each one has gained .2 oz the first day! They should double their birth weight the first week. They look like they are starting to fill out a little more. :0) I am going to try and get some new pictures tomorrow or maybe another group shot. :0)
Juicy's puppies have arrived!
The first one was a black and white boy - he didn't make it. The placenta was detached. Part of the placenta came out first and then the puppy attached to the placenta all in one. After working on him for a long time, trying to get him to take a breathe - he didn't. :0(
Girl 1 came second - I am unsure of her color. She is beautiful...small and dainty. She weighs 4.2 oz.
Boy 2 came third - he is gorgeous solid black and a hefty boy weighing 5.8 oz.
Girl 2 came fourth - she is a beautiful solid black and also small. She weighs 4.6 oz.
Fifth and final came boy 3 - he is just adorable -solid black with white markings like his dad. He weighs 4.8 oz.
Juicy and her babies are doing wonderful. The babies are eating really good and Juicy lays by them with her head nuzzled in. :0)
I will post pictures soon!
Juicy is in labor!!
Juicy Pregnancy Day 61
Juicy's colostrom is in and her temperature is bouncing around.....this morning it was 98.7. I will take it again tonight. She ate good last night, then kind of nibbled this morning, but now looks at the dish and walks away. We'll see if she continues to do that. She has been yawning alot and licking the air.....she falls asleep sitting up and then catches herself and lays down. I think she is also ready to get these babies out. :0)
Day 59 of Pregnancy
I am thinking she will have them late Thursday night starting at about 3:00 in the morning (that is my luck)...she will have 1 every hour like last time. 4 girls and 1 boy - 3 solids and 2 partis - and I am guessing they will all be about 4 oz. at birth. She looks like she's got about 1 1/4 lb. of puppies in her!
Juicy 8 weeks Pregnant!
We have had another very busy weekend here. Alex's Birthday was on Friday, we had his party on Saturday, and then of course Father's Day today. This is going to be a pretty exciting week.....
Juicy is now 8 weeks pregnant! Her belly continues to grow everyday. It is hard to believe there are 5 babies in there. She now waits for me to pick her up to take her up and down the stairs instead of her going up and down them. She still likes to sit by the puppies pen, she would love to be in there with them if I would let her. She loves babies. :0)
Here is a little trivia for everyone.... I am trying to estimate when she will have them and what she will have. I started taking her temperature on Friday so when it starts going up and then drops we know it will be close. Right now she is a steady 99.9. Juicy had 3 puppies last time 2 boys that were both solid and then 1 gold and white parti girl. She delivered them 2 days early from her due date and started having them about 4 in the morning. Juicy is due on Saturday, June 26th.
When do you think she will have them? How many girls? How many boys? How many solids? How many Partis?
Juicy X-Ray Results are in!!!!
We went to the vet today for x-rays and we found 5 babies in there. :0) She only had 3 the last time, so this is going to be wonderful! Very funny, because when she was just 5 weeks along, I kept feeling her belly to see if I could feel any baby balls and I felt nothing, she didn't look very pregnant either. Scott kept telling me he didn't think she was pregnant.....so to find out for sure, we went for the ultrasound. We found 3 hearts beating so I was happy with that.
Then today we found out there are not 3 BUT 5 babies in her belly!!! SOOOO exciting!!!
She is now on day 53 so we have about 10 days to go. Her belly gets bigger everyday so I am thinking in 10 days she is going to be huge. She gets her special treats now, so that makes her very happy!
YAY Juicy.....5 babies in about 10 days!!!
