Yea there's loads of words I could use to describe my lads lol, but love 'em to bits and the love their Mum so I can't complain.

Diva's pups are doing really well, she's making a cracking mum - they are real cuties. Molly hasn't had hers yet and I love them already, when I feel them moving around I just melt..... God know what I am going to be like when they go to their new homes. I am keeping one though, although if I had my way I would be keeping them all but I think the OH would divorce me lol

A little question; sorry. When do you actually weigh them after their born, once Molly has cleaned them, before letting them suckle???

Everybody weigh's at different times, it is my preference to wait until the whelping is over with, babies are all clean, mums been for a pee & had a good drink & a bite to eat. I have tried doing it straight away as pups are born, but it just takes mums focus from the job in hand & unsettles her!
I like the house to be as relaxed as is possible throughout whelping & if that means not weighing until the next morning then so be it!
The vital checks for any abnormalities is done at birth though

Your such a star thank you.

That's what I will do then, weigh them when it's all finished - I'll just tell you at the time (cause you'll be about ) if they look big or small & what colour they are lol - it's soooooo exciting. Think I'm more nervous with molly than I was having my own kids

Lol i can't wait
Have you any idea what colours to expect with your's both being red ?
I guess you could still get brindles from 2 reds!

Both Max & Molly are classed as Deep Fawn, to me the are Reds. Max came from a litter of all Reds and Molly's litter were mostly Reds although 1 was a very dark brindle ( he was a gorgeous lad). The have very little white markings, so I am presuming the pups will be Reds, but who knows and to be honest I don't care. I've explained to the people waiting that we'll just have to wait and see what pops out. But I get 1st picks

PANIC

Right I am trying really hard not to go into full blown panic mode but:-

Molly is running round like a nutter, with energy that she hasn't had in weeks. Just wanting to kiss everyone, it was time to do her temp 36.4

She seems happy enough, well happy to be honest - why's her temp dropped????

DD & CC where are you - I'm trying not panic promise:

Im here Mums popped out for a min
There temp can drop, and it doesnt mean they are going to go in to labour..
If it stays quiet low then that could be a sign, so do it again in 2hours and let us know
stop worrying

Aww thanx Kerry, just didn't think it would drop!!!

I will calm down promise, thanks for answering so quickly
