I just discovered that Ella likes to line her babies up in a row before she feels comfortable to leave them and go potty or get a drink. She is constantly licking and cleaning them. They are the cleanest pups in all the city. I've been watching her and making sure all the pups are eating evenly. She is really cut with her babies, so protective. The 3rd pic from the left is a pic during the birth of the puppies. The others are pictures from yesterday when Ella was taking care of them. I find that I make sure I always have my camera in my hand when I go to check on the pups, because they are so cut to look at.

Puppies Finally Here

Well Ella finally had her puppies. I thought for sure that she would have them at Jenn's house while I was gone on my trip to Vegas. But she didn't, she waited for me to get back-Yahoo. Ella had her puppies on Sunday Morning 9-23 at 1 am in the morning. We had been up all night off and on, then suddenly I woke up and searched for Ella to discover a baby in its sack right next to her. She didn't know what to do. I new to brake the sack, which I did but then I called Jenn and she told me how to get her to breath. Thank goodness she is the only girl. The rest of the puppies came out just fine, but Ella was kinda slow on getting the sacks off of each face so I had to help her. All together there are 3 boys and 1 girl. Their names are Boys (toffee, Hershey, Chocolate) the girl name is sugar. I named them after all of my favorite sweet stuff.

Ella's Pregnet

Here is Ella Pregnet- She looks so funny.
Ella hates having her pic taken when her belly is so big.

Baby puppies coming

I had the biggest scare last night. I took Ella's temperature and it was so low that I thought I had taken her temperature wrong. So I got out the instructions and made sure I was turning it on right- nope. So then I took her temperature again and the number was higher but it was still under a 100 so I thought we are going to have puppies soon. I originally thought this was suppose to be week 7 on her pregnancy scale, but when I started counting again- dang it I had gotten off on my days and yesterday was really day 49. This means that Tuesday 9-11 would be the beginning of the week 8 and she could have the puppies at any time. I am so freaked out, what if something goes wrong. Thank goodness Jen is helping me out, I just love the puppies but the part of waiting for Ella to have them freaks me out. lol

Just to make Ella feel better I slept on the floor with her so she wouldn't hurt her self. I am a silly mama

More to come later......

Gaining weight

Ella is getting so big. She is really close to having her babies and gaining so much weight. She had become the biggest beggar and begs food from all the roommates because our food is better then her dog food. Her only exercise is walking down to the end of the street and then she is out of breath. At night she has a hard time getting comfortable and changes positions all the time. A week ago we listened to the babies heart beats and heard 4- yahoo. Now Ella has this cute waddle when she walks because the babies have grown so much. I weighted her in the beginning she was 11 pounds, now she weights 12 pounds. We should have puppies in a few weeks - ya. Ella is a good mom and I think she will love being a mother again.
