Blog
I am moving the site from one provider to another so I can continue to update with photos and video. Something happened at weebly and I couldn't get a reply to my tech support request so I moved to Squarespace, where my www.fordogsake.ca website is hosted and hope to fare better here.
Bear with me while I move things over, get things updated and generally settle back in. More photos and video coming soon!
So far I have been happy with this website provider and even moved from a free account to a paid one, with my own url. But I can't seem to upload any new images, so huge apologies for the lack of new photos on the site. I am trying to resolve it with the site provider but that is slloooooooow going. Stay with me folks, I will work it out or find a way around it.
It's hard to believe it's only been 4 days since the Gratitude Litter was born. It seems like so much longer. Their eyes and ears are still sealed shut, but the ear flaps are starting to droop over, as opposed to being stuck straight-up. They are weighed every morning, and Bombay is almost always the heaviest, with Mango consistently the smallest, but not by enough to be worried about.
I am taking photos, video, updating everything, and just generally still hovering. I am starting to get a few inquiries, too, which is nice. I don't worry they will all find homes, I'm just not sure exactly how people are going to find me...
Ever since 2 days ago, life will never be the same. I am more in love with my dog, Curry the mother, as I watch her daily taking care of the little ones' needs. She feeds them and potties them and moves them around with her mouth when necessary. She quiets their cries, keeps them warm and sometimes climbs right out of the whelping nest for a little cool-down time and peace. She is amazing, and has become even more amazing to me than she already was.
I am also in love with the litter. At 2 days old, they don't have much personality as individuals but the presence of all this brand-new life in the house is indescribable. Their cooing and mewling is music to my ears. If they need something, Mom knows what to do and provides it. All are taken care of. I am obsessed with taking their photos, updating the website, uploading video to Youtube and just generally documenting everything. This is a healthy obsession, and one I don't intend to give up :)
I will be posting photos as often as is feasible for all of those of you who come here to see their progress. Since this is my first litter, I am taking hundreds of pictures and lots of video. I even have an idea for a little memento pack for each puppy's purchaser of the infancy stage for them to keep. This will include photos, video and other little things about their puppy from birth to 9 weeks.
