Here are some updated pictures taken August 25: the puppies' one week b-day. More pictures are uploaded here: http://community.webshots.com/album/560424922SeIEDF

more pictures...

here are some more pix of the pups on their first week. They are growing fast and even starting to resemble dogs...a little bit...Shiva is enjoying motherhood!

Day two pictures

All are doing well gaining weight and practicing their high pitch whines which sound SO MUCH like Adam's...! Shiva still pretty much is glued to the box where she receives room service of Goat's milk, Kefir, yogurt, Maine wild blueberries and her regular food of course. She has a ravenous appetite.

Shiva had eight pups on August 18!!!!

Pink girl

SIX are girls :)) All are vigorous and feisty. Shiva is doing an AMAZING job (I have to drag her outside to pee; each time I come to fetch her she is busy cleaning somebody; shining babies)

In order of appearance: red boy 12oz 3/4, pink girl ONE POUND & 1oz, sage girl 14oz 1/4, light blue girl 13oz 1/4, orange girl 13oz 5/8, green girl 13oz 5/8, white boy 15oz 3/8, red girl 15oz 2/8. More after I catch up on some rest...

ANY day now...!

These pictures were taken Sunday, August 12, Day 59 in Shiva's gestation. She will have her pups SOON; they are very active inside and I can SEE them move and kick as well as feel it. Shiva is nesting under the thorniest rose-bush we have...we keep a close eye on her.

Two weeks to go!

Here are some recent pictures of Shiva having fun at the beach. She is really big now and seems a bit uncomfortable and on the warm side. She already has milk for her pups to come. We will be setting up the whelping box now to get her used to it.

Lost puppy contact information for people

I have been having major computer issues that hopefully are resolved now with a new computer. I seem to have lost all my recent contact information for people that are interested in Shiva's puppies.

If you were on my list of people to keep informed as to how the breeding is coming along, would you please contact me again so I can start a new list.

Shiva is doing great and we could have puppies in just a few weeks! Very exciting!
