Puppy Progress Update
Well the pups are nearly 2wks old now and they are growing so fast that soon they will be gone. My mate still has the runt and while he is healthy and going real well he is still alot smaller than his siblings. And while we started out with 11 babies, we are now down to 10. We went out late last week and when we got home and did a head count, we were misiing a pup. After a frantic search around the back yard and inside the house we could not for the life of us find the poor little girl. We even checked to see if Thorne had buried her somwhere. So we have come to the conclusion that shes either been killed and eaten by one of her parents or she just disappeared into thin air :(
The first pup opened her eyes today and the others arent too far off either. So cute.

A couple of pics
Just a couple of pics of the new additions to our family. Thorne is actually a pure white dog but had been preparing a nesting place for herself under my car on the same day and had got a bit of grease all over her lol. We ended up giving the runt of the litter to a friend of mine as with Andrew and I working it was impossible to give him the 24/7 care he needed right now. Will post a photo of him when I get him back in a couple of weeks poor thing

My big mouth
I was sitting on the computer mucking aroung when I heard this mewing noise, like little kittys. Jumping up, I ran outside calling for Thorne, who wouldnt come. Couldnt find her outside so ran to the kids end of the house and flung Kaytlynns door open. The 1st thing I saw was 2 little puppies poking out from the end of her bed. I upended the bed and there was Thorne, looking up at me pitifully as she pushed out another one. It looked dead to me so rang my mate next door and she come over and stimulated it to get it going properly and helped deliver the next 8 pups. Yep 7 girls and 4 boys. Unfortunately Thorne rejected the runt who was born last and we are stuck having to care for him sigh.

Glutton for Punishment
Meet our dogs. The top one is Thorne and at the bottom is Dodge. We have had Thorne since 6 weeks and Dodge is Andrews birthday present. Great dogs but a bit of a handful, especially Dodge who doesnt like to listen and digs ginormous holes. Well to add to all that I allowed Thorne to get pregnant this one time before I get her neutered. Had heard it was preferable to do it that way so the bitch experienced motherhood before that option wasnt available to her. Now she is nearing the end of her pregnancy and reality is finally hitting me that soon we could have up to 12 pups amongst us. What the hell was I thinking!!!
