Choxie's babies have arrived!!

Choxie blessed us with 3 gorgeous babies early early in the morning. She was finally finished at 3:00 am.
2 girls and 1 boy - (1 solid chocolate girl, 1 chocolate and white parti girl, and 1 black and white parti boy).
Choxie and her babies are doing great. I will post pictures soon!

Choxie early stages of labor!

We will be having new babies soon!!! Choxie's temp is down to 98 degrees so that usually means the babies will arrive in about 24 hours. We will see....her milk is in and the babies are moving around vigorously.
I will post more as I have more news to share! Stay tuned for updates. :0)

Tiny Tot's Tiny Imperial Puppies

We have some disappointing news to share.... Trixie is not expecting.  It has taken me awhile to accept this because I have been looking forward to her babies.  The x-ray showed no babies in her belly. :0(   I thought she had a little pooch on her but I think that was just wishful thinking. 

On the other hand,  Choxie and Juicy are for sure expecting. Their bellies are growing and continue to get bigger.  They are both due in about 2 weeks now, so it won't be too much longer. :0) 

We have been really busy here working on finishing our room, it is coming along very nice, but a little slow.  I know we will get there.....hopefully sooner than later. :0)

Bon Bon and her daughter Beyonce went home to Danielle on Friday. She is a wonderful mom and was a huge lifesaver for me and Gemma's babies.  They are doing wonderful and are as cute as can be.  While I was in visiting Danielle, I picked up our newest Tiny Tot addition.  He is a tiny chocolate boy who has wonderful tiny lines behind him.  We are calling him Jack Daniel's  Luck E #7!  Him and Jewel are quite the pair.....he loves her and has taken right to her. :0)   I am hoping to get pictures of him this week to share.

Tiny Tot Shih Tzu catch up!

We have had quite a bit going on around here at Tiny Tot, thus the reason for the long delay in posting on the blog.
I was sick with the flu for a week and then we had to take my oldest son to the emergency room 2 weeks ago. One of the tubes within one of his testicles twisted and then got infected. The Dr. put him on an antibiotic and that was not working and he got worse so we had to go back to the Urologist and they put him on a stronger antibiotic which is working....thank God!
One of the worst things ever,  is to watch your babies in pain.  I felt so bad for him. He is well on his way to recovery and is getting along MUCH better now. :0)  We are in the beginning of Alex's baseball season now and it has been a brutal season.
This is his first year of Minor League and we don't have the best pitchers....we are needing a little help and practice in that area.  Thank goodness the games can only last 2 hours...usually in that 2 hours we only get through 2 maybe 3 innings. :0(

I am pretty sure Trixie is pregnant, she seems to have a little pooch on her, but she is not big at all so I am crossing my fingers that she is.  Choxie is for sure pregnant....Danielle felt baby balls in her belly!  I took Juicy to the vet yesterday for an ultrasound and she is confirmed pregnant!!!

We have decided to keep Lil' miss Jewel. She is so precious and since she is Gemma's baby girl she is a little bit extra special to me.  I am thrilled we have decided to keep her.  

This has been a super busy weekend....with all of the expected litters that will be arriving in June, we are working extra hard to get our Nursery completed.  We have had a few setbacks along the way so it is taking longer than we expected.   We put in the floor yesterday and today we will begin putting up the drywall.  I am so excited about completing this project, it is going to be really nice having the extra room and my space!  This is going to be Kim's room!!! I have been taking pictures for each thing we complete so as soon soon as it is all done I will post all of the pictures.

Wishing everyone a happy and safe Memorial Day weekend. 

Happy Mother's Day from Tiny Tot Shih Tzu

Peanut, Jewel, Peeps, and his sister are all doing terrific!  They have started to walk and get better at it everyday.  Peanut and Jewel like to grab their paws with their mouths and tug on them, it is really cute.  Jewel started tugging on Bon Bon's face and she just layed there and let her do it.  Bon Bon is such a good mommy.  They are all still fat puppies, now that they have started walking they will start slowing down a little bit. The next couple of weeks is my favorite puppy time because the puppies are walking and just starting to play with each other.  Starting about week 6 - 12, I consider that their "terrible 2" stage - lol!  They learn a lot during that time from each other and their mom on the no - no's, this is also when potty pad training begins.  They become busy little bodies and get cuter by the day!

Tiny Imperial Shih Tzu Puppies Walking

Jewel, Peanut, Peeps, and Beyonce are now walking! It is the cutest thing ever.  Beyonce was over in a corner by herself and got up on all four legs and walked to her mom - Bon Bon.  Peeps is a little rolly polly who eats non-stop. It is funny to watch him walk, he is a little chunk.   I love to watch Peanut and Jewel sleep. They sleep on their backs  just like Gemma used too.   This is when things start to get fun and the puppies get really cute!  Their little personalities will start to develop over the next several weeks, I am sure they are going to be sweet, loving, and sassy just like their mom and dad. :0) 

The Puppies Eyes Are Open!!!



I have been waiting and waiting for Peanut and Jewel's eyes to open and they FINALLY did today. :0)
Puppies eyes usually open between 10 - 14 days.  These two are tiny little tots and now that their eyes are open they can start to see the world.  Here is a page I made this evening for them!

Adorable Shih-Tzu puppy update

Alex was sick Thursday and Friday but he is finally feeling better.  He got some little bug in his system....
I think I have finally caught up on my sleep and am finally getting caught up on all of my housework and laundry. 
I am soooo thankful to have Bon Bon here.  I thank Danielle every day for letting her come stay with us.  I do not even want to think what life would be like if she were not here....Peanut, Jewel, Peeps and his sister (Bon Bon's babies) are all doing wonderful.  They are chunky healthy babies, now that Peanut and Jewel have a little bit of fat on them, their faces have that roll which is super cute.  They are both going to have very flat baby doll faces.  Their eyes are not open yet, but I couldn't resist....I had to take new pictures today, I swear they get cuter by the day!  They are now posted on the Nursery page of the website - www.tinytotshihtzu.com.



Puppies 1 week

I am very happy to report Peanut and Jewel are doing excellent.  They are both growing nicely.   I am so thankful to have Bon Bon here helping me. She has been a wonderful mom to them and literally a life saver to me.  At night, I lay in the x-pen with them....I know Scott thinks I am a little crazy.  I just love being close to them.  I laid Jewel next to me and Bon Bon came over and tried to pick her up and take her from me.  It was very sweet and just shows how much she cares about her babies. 

We still miss Gemma dearly, I feel close to her by being close to her babies. I find myself out of the blue, asking where is Gemma.  I know as time goes by it will hopefully get easier, but right now it is still very tough. It feels weird not having her come lay on my chest every night and paw at my chin.  Or seeing her jump on Scott as soon as he laid down, she would like pounce on him and it was the funniest thing to watch.  Then after I got comfortable and fell asleep, she always slept on my back or right between my legs at night so it is hard to get used to her not being here.   It has been just over a week and still very hard.  Bopsy and Gemma look like twins so when I look at Bopsy, I find myself calling her Gemma.   We do miss our little peanut dearly. 

The puppies eyes should be opening sometime this week or early next week.  I can't wait to see them with their eyes open. I will be taking new pictures this weekend, it is fun to watch them grow from week to week.

Puppy Bonding

Yesterday was a very long and exhausting day. I woke up at 4:30 to meet Danielle in Omaha to pick up Bon Bon and her babies.  Bon Bon is such a WONDERFUL girl, she absolultely loves these babies like her own.  Danielle and I sat in my car with her and the babies and she let them nurse right away and then started licking them all over like they were her own.  I put her and all of the puppies in a basket in my front seat and drove home.  They all did so well. Last night, I got to sleep!!!!  I have Bon Bon and the babies right next to my bed so I woke up twice because I heard a puppy whining, they were just trying to get comfortable, so I snuggled them really close to Bon Bon and they were fine. :0)  Peanut and Jewel have nice round bellies and they are gaining weight!  They bonded so well with Bon Bon, and she really thinks they are hers!!  I feel like a new person today and I am getting ALOT done!!!  I took pictures and will be posting them on my website today. They are all so adorable.  It was so cute, while I was taking pictures, I take the pictures on my kitchen counter. I put everyone in a basket and put them on the counter, then took one puppy out at a time, Bon Bon sat up and tried to put her head through the wholes, her eyes her nose were peeping through so she could see what I was doing with them.  I can not thank Danielle enough for meeting me yesterday and letting me bring Bon Bon and her babies to my home. It was a long day for both of us.....but well worth it!
