Rush x Rosé duo

The pups are 2wks old today!

The big boy has his eyes open.....

The girl is starting to catch up.... no she isn't...  She is just growing at a nice steady pace.

Rosé had her pups!

I will not go into this experience of last night's whelp.... and it's still not quite sitting well with me.. ...however.... I want to thank Maureen for coming late last night to "help"... well ..take over (respectively speaking) the delivery of Rosé's litter which took us to the early morn ......2 a.m to be exact. I was pretty much the assistant... and helped Rose to calm down and help her start to have contractions when need be.

Rosé was AMAZING!!! AMAZING!!!! I LOVE HER !! AMAZING.  Notta yelp... Notta lunge to "bite" ...notta nothing during this whole ordeal.... NADA... she trusted us to do what we had to do to help her get those babes out. 

At the "beginning of the new day" , we have an 11 oz boy (I have NEVER seen that before) and a little 6.9 oz girl.  Both came out with a sucking vengance and latched on mom like.... well.... a sucker fish!

All are doing well.

You can see their pics on my FB account

We have named them already... I normally don't do this, but the names are fitting.

The boy is Jethro and the girl Elly May

Nursery is going to be very busy

3 Litters this fall!  I'm very excited about all of them.

A very tight line breeding with Lily.

An outcross of sorts

And the last one looks like a pregnancy is well underway - This would be Rio's first litter.  This is very special to me as it's also my first AI breeding with my own male. 

Spot light on Lily

After school while the sun was still out, I asked my son, who has taken a yearbook course and has expereince on a NIKON D90 (lucky kid), if he would mind taking pics of Lily.  Off we go.  I bait, try to position, make her look pretty... and Tyler, lying on the ground, takes the pictures.

This is what we got! I will have others on my site in the next couple of days.... the kids need the computer at the moment!

Lily is pictured here at exactly 17 wks of age.  Happy B-day!

 See ya in the rings with my sister! tee hee

This is Rosé - checking to make sure all is okay with her little girl - what a Nosey!

Here is Aunt Portia - doing the same thing.
