Puppies!!!

So this month...our sweet female Parti Poodle, Annie gave birth to 7 puppies!!! :)  Last year, for her first litter, we started a blog just for the puppies.  And this year, since it's the same father (Sir Cazidor, the chocolate Labrador), we've been doing some posts and lots of pictures again on that with all the puppies!

Here's the link if you'd like to check that out: http://lovethosepuppies.blogspot.com/

On that blog, we don't mention the seventh puppy, because he only lived for 12 hours.  The seventh puppy was a light brown male, curly haired and we named him Moose.  He was born about 4 hours after his sack came out.

Because of that, he had a lot of fluid in his lungs.  We did our best to suck out all the liquid, but I think he had inhaled too much and had been inside Annie for too long without his sack.  He was to weak to nurse, but nursing was the only way to get him the nutrients to help strengthen him.  The longer he waited to nurse, the weaker he became.   It was a domino affect.   And so our sweet Moose past away, 12 hours after birth.

However, all the others are doing really well! We're so happy with how well Annie has been tending them all.  She's a very attentive mother :)

So be sure and check out the link! There are currently lots of pictures, with lots more to come!! :)
