Well it’s been a while
since I have written. Mom and I have been so busy taking care of the Puppy
Kidz. Weaning them is a lot of work! Mom has to clean up after them now if you
know what I mean, kibble poo is not as sweet tasting as milk poo! When we first
start to wean them we call the little poop monsters. Oh, yea it gets bad. Mom
keeps the pads changed and washed in the play area. She is really picky about
keeping it all clean.
Then we started to
take them ‘outside’ and they learned really fast what ‘outside’ means. They go
out and take care of their business and then the chase is on! They love to play
and run chasing each other. They are so much fun to watch.
The Puppy Kidz are
eating straight kibble now. No water or grinding. They still will try to sneak
a milk treat once in awhile but I jump on the couch and tell them NO WAY! They
whine at me and look at me with those baby eyes when I do it but it doesn’t
work.
Mom took them to Vet
for their check up this week and got them their first vaccination. They came
home and slept it off for all the afternoon. The Vet said that they are nice
and healthy little Kidz. Just what I expected him to say!
Now it’s time for me
to say goodbye to each of them as they leave to go out into this big world. Mom
has really nice families for them and I know that they will be taken good care
of. I just want them to be loved and be a part of their families just as I am.
Oh ya, spoiled too!
So to my Little Rose
Petals, I will always love and be here for you!
Love always,

Its sorta a sad day for me, Mom started feeding my Puppy Kidz solid food today. The first steps to weaning. I still nurse them a few times a day just to help with the transition and the pressure off my chest if you know what I mean ladies! Each day I will nurse less and less until I don't nurse them at all. I still have to help Mom with care and trianing of my Puppy Kidz. I have the help them know what is right and wrong play. I have to show them what 'outside' is. It will be busy the next few weeks getting my Puppy Kidz ready to go home. I want them to get off to a good start in their new homes. One thing I now refuse to do is clean up after them, so Mom, my job in that area is done! You clean up after them! Their Poop is not milk poo anymore! YUK!

We took the Puppy Kidz on their first and second road trip. We took them to a couple of dog shows and they did really well. Mom made me a whelping box area under to RV table and she also put a huge crate on her bed for me and my Puppy Kidz to sleep at night. We were quite comfortable and I got to visit with some old dog show friends. It was fun. Mom wouldn't allow anybody to see the Puppy Kidz though, she said not until they are little bit older. I agree! We are off to Michigan this weekend for a Memorial Day show. Its five days long so it will be a long trip. We should be just fine though as long that Missi stays away from my Puppy Kidz! I have caught her in the whelping box several times. Mom tells her Missi, get out of the box, they are not your Kidz! She listens to Mom cause she doesn't want to deal with me! he he!

Mom had to put the 1/4 door in the whelping box this week. My Puppy Kidz were crawling out of the box! She put an ottoman in front of the whelping box so that I can jump in and out easily. I like to lie on the ottoman and just admire my Puppy Kidz! They are so beautiful! Griz wants to play with my Kidz. I told him that he can come into the whelping box and help socialize them but he can't get ruff with them. I also told him that if he does get ruff with them I will get ruff with him! Missi thinks she is going to mother my Puppy Kidz. NO WAY Missi! I will get ruff with you. I have had to run her out of the whelping box several times. I have to keep an eye on that Missi!
The next week or two the whelping box will get noisy. My Puppy Kidz will turn into the monster stage! They will play so ruff it is surprising that nobody gets hurt! Oh my, this will keep me busy teaching them how to play correctly.

My Puppy Kidz are growing up fast. They found their Bark! Petal 3 woke Mom up in the middle of the night singing the Puppy Serenade to her. She wasn't so impressed! She thought something was wrong. I told my little boy to save it for the daylight hours. My Puppy Kidz are setting up now, walking, and showing some play activity. They are so cute at this age. I just love being a Mom!

I finally can get away from the whelping box for a bit now! My Puppy Kidz are not so demanding now. I can come downstairs now and hang with the family for a few so I take advantage of the time whenever I can. I am so hungry now that I'm feeding 4 now. Mom gives me double the food I usually eat. I was worried about weight gain but Mom told me not to worry, I need the extra calories to keep the milk bar open. Hapi has been supervising me and helping with advice when needed. I am appreciative of her help. Missi on the other hand, well, I have to run her out of the whelping box. She thinks that she needs to mother my Puppy Kidz! NO WAY! Not going to happen Missi! Griz just wants to play with my Puppy Kidz. I caught him in the whelping box a couple of times. I had to ask him to leave and he did. I told him that they need to get a little bit bigger then he can play with them. Rose Petal 1 opened her eyes today. She is so beautiful! I can't wait for the other two to open their eyes.
Gotta go I can hear my Puppy Kidz crying,

The Bouquet is one week old now. They sure are getting strong. They have gained so much weight and can hold their heads up and scoot really fast. They coo like pigeons when they are content and scream when they can't find Mom. I still have to supervise as Missi wants to mother the Puppy Kidz and Rozy will not allow it! Griz wants to play with the little Rose Petals. He even got in the whelping box a couple of times. Rozy doesn't mind him too much but she tells him to get out. Rozy is such a good Mom. She takes really good care of her Puppy Kidz.

The weekend went really well. Rozy has recovered nicely now and enjoying her Puppy Kidz. Missi keeps wanting to take care of the Puppy Kidz and Rozy will not have anything to do with it. She tells Missi to get away, that these Puppy Kidz are not her Puppy Kidz. Mom has had to call Missi down a few times. To resolve the issue I volunteered to be the "Supervisor". I lie on Mom and Dad bed and I have a good view into the whelping box. I can see how Rozy is doing taking care of her Puppy Kidz and give her instruction as needed. This seems to have calmed Missi down knowing that Rozy has a mentor and supervisor. I get to watch the Puppy Kidz all day this way, yea! I just love the Puppy Kidz, they are so loveable.
Mom has weighed these guys everyday and they are gaining weight fast. She said that they will be little pigs before they are weaned. They are so healthy and alert. Mom took Rozy and the Puppy Kidz to the doctor today for their check up. The doctor was very proud of their progress and she removed their little dew claws. Their umbilical cords have fallen off also. They are progressing nicely.
Gotta go and Supervise now,

Hello, its Hapi! Rozy is back from the hospital now and resting with her 3 beautiful Puppy Kidz. She did not progress as she should have so Mom and Dad took her to our favorite OB GYN doctor and she had a C section. She is home resting nicely and nursing her Puppy Kidz. They are so active and alert. They act like they are a week old already!

Mom took my temperature this morning it has dropped. This means that I will have my Puppy Kidz within 24 hours! Yea! I don't feel any different so I guess I don't know what to expect since I'm a first time Mom. I guess I will just learn as I go. Mom is staying with me and rubbing my tummy. She told me that she will stay with me until its all over. Thanks Mom!
Love, GCH Rozy

I am huge! All I want to do is lie around. I take a step and then flop down. I'm so miserable. Mom will start taking my temperature tomorrow as I have just a week or so to go. My temp will drop when I'm getting ready to go into labor. I can't wait to see how many little Rose Petals I have.
Love, GCH Rozy

I just keep getting bigger! My belly is almost dragging the ground! I like to hide behind the couch or lay behind the driver’s seat in the RV but guess what? Those places are too tight for a pop belly pig like me! I think I’m going to have 10 Puppy Kidz! You know ladies how it gets to where you can’t see your toenails? Well for a K9 it’s I can’t lick! I take 2 steps, sit down, lick, CAN’T, 2 steps, sit down, lick, CAN’T, etc., etc., It is RUFF!!

OK, I’m just huge now! I can’t believe how big I’ve gotten. It feels like I have 10 Puppy Kidz, oh my! I can’t jump on the furniture now; I have to have help getting up and down. It’s terrible. I just want to rest all day and night. I do get some really good meals though. I got homemade roast beef last night mixed with my kibble. YUM! Now that I have completed my 6th week of pregnancy we can hear heart beats. Mom used my new ultrasound stethoscope last night and we heard all kinds of sounds including heart beats! Wow, it was really cool to hear the tiny hearts beating. Mom and I will be getting the whelping box out soon for the Puppy Kidz.!!
Love, GCH Rozy

Its official! I had my Ultrasound yesterday. I'm have 4-5 Puppy Kidz! I got to see pictures of them and they are so beautiful. One picture we saw a really nice heart beat and the rib cage! I have lost my tuck, waistline, now and have gained quite a bit of weight. I have been sick on and off but I still am starving all the time. Mom will allow me to eat whenever I want so I get plenty of food. She told me that my being hungry all time is a pregnancy thing. I can't wait to get these Puppy Kidz born!

Not much has changed this week but I can eat again! I'm back to starving! Mom will allow me to eat as much as I want and she even mixes some canned food with my kibble, YUM! My Puppy Kidz have grown as I can feel them now. They will have toes and claws and look like dogs now. Fun!

OK, I agree that I am pregnant! I have been so sick that Mom has to hand feed me. Food just makes me sick to look at it. My Puppy Kidz have faces now as well as spinal cords and eyes. I have started to gain weight but I still have my tuck, waistline for you humans. I'm so excited to be a Mom. I can't wait!

Not much has changed since last week. I'm still starving and really grumpy, emotional. Charles and yoRzy try to pester me and I get really angry and growl at them. I just want to sleep and rest. I've never been pregnant before so I'm not sure what's going on but Mom tells me its just pregnancy. I sure hope that I am pregnant, I want to be a Mom like the other girls have been.

Mom took me to Colorado for a date with Ernie. The drive out was uneventful and fun. Hapi and Bee came along for company. I was a little concerned that Mom was driving the Motor Home but she did good with it. We spent two days in Colorado and guess what. A winter storm is on its way! So we had to head for home. We drove the long way home across Nebraska, Missouri, and then up through Iowa. It took us twice as long to get home but Mom made it fun. She make several stops and long walks for us. Mom says that I am most definitely pregnant. My appetite has increased and I am starving. I'm very emotional too. I'm not so sure if I'm pregnant but Mom says that I am.
