So we went from go, go, go...         to an abrupt standstill. 
My apologies to each of you who where anxiously waiting to welcome your pups into your homes today. And for one of you, yesterday. ​
As you know we got the red light due to a case of Coccidia

It happens I guess... actually pretty common in pups from what I read... and have heard. And once it's in the soil, it basically just stays there. As I mentioned to most, if not all of you, I've experienced the issue once before 4-5 litters back. And for the same reason health certificates were held up pending a stool check free of parasites. So... as I did then, I will do now. Treat and recheck. 
My return appointment is scheduled coming Monday at 9:45 and I hope to be home by around 1pm. With health certificates in hand. I'll be speaking with each of you following the appointment to confirm or set up a time that works for all to come get your pups. 

​Disappointing for sure, and a bit surprising as none of the pups are symptomatic. Generally coccidia is considered if pups have loose to liquid stools. But that's not been the case here. In fact... this has likely been the cleanest litter I've raised to date. Large but formed stools and not particularly frequent as far as pups go.... I'm a bit perplexed to say the least. 

But life goes on and we're making the best of it. Had a great day today. Glad to see the return of some pretty decent weather. Got the pups fed early followed by their standard post crop antibiotics and pain medications. Antibiotics twice daily and pain med once. My little assembly line. Next up I got my kennels straightened up from my own dogs rather extended day out yesterday. Also managed to do some leaf blowing while the pups took a snooze and let their food settle.

By noon we were all out enjoying the day. First some play on the porch with the pups and the toys I picked out for them a few weeks back.... toys that up till now have have seen little use. Either too wet or too cold. Hopefully they'll see a bit more use this week.
Seems, from the forecast they will. So far the pups have more interest in chewing on plants, dragging moss and carrying little twigs around that they find. They especially enjoy the game of keep away. Mine, mine, mine!!! I did witness a few battles of tug with the toys, but I expect to see more of that develop throughout the week. Today it became apparent little Miss Zahara (white) has gained some competition for the tether tug. Most, if not all gave it a go... also in a form of keep away for the most part. I thought they'd wear each other out pretty quickly but they were still going strong after a couple hours. Had to cut it short... obviously they thought so. Mid day I got their Anti-Coccidia med in them... didn't want to give everything at once this morning. Also wanted it to sit in a fairly empty stomach. Each got a dose and immediately into the little outdoor kennel. That's when it became apparent they weren't overjoyed with having their playtime cut short. A couple of them can belt it out pretty strong! But as always they settle pretty quickly.

Then it was a late lunch on the porch... Seemed the pups were all filling out pretty well but again this morning looked thin. Doesn't take long for these guys to show it and they went over 24 hours yesterday with just a small snack administered by the vet after each woke from surgery. They're always excited to eat but last night they were manics about their food when I set them to it.  Ate well today too which is great. Sometimes their appetite goes off a bit due to the antibiotics but we've still got some food competition going since they remain together. And fortunately while they begin to look thin quickly they also plump back up fairly quickly. 

I had my camera out off and on with them today and managed to get some pretty cute pics of a few of them. It's fairly rare they go solo and stand for a shot when together but it happens occasionally. The group shots are challenging. Most often a blur or some pups clear and others in the group a blur. But I'll post some anyway. It's pretty apparent the crop doesn't set them back much... if any. They get home rearing to go! Actually they go into the crate rearing to go when I pick them up. 

So far their ear-ware is holding up well and I hope that trend continues. I had the doc skip the bridge that he normally places from ear tip to ear tip. I've found it problematic in the past with multiple pups together and told him I'd place the bridge when each was ready to go home. In hind sight, it was a great decision and my plan is to leave them un-bridged  Pups seem to be managing their ears well. And no legs or heads can get caught up between bridge and top of head of another. 

Well, I guess that's about it for now.... tomorrow's another day. then the next.... and the next and next. :-)

General Update....

Coming soon.... Going to head over to the pup pages and get each updated with the photos I took earlier in the week. Actually got them done right at about the 7 week mark this week. A couple of them were somewhat less than cooperative during their photo shoot but fortunately they all take turns being little monsters. I always manage to get some good shots of each. Just not EVERY pup every week.

Socializing Your Pup!

I absolutely can't stress the importance of this enough! Dobe's need lots of socialization. Early and ongoing. The more the better... People, a variety of places and other animals.
The Blog below is really about the best I've come across on the subject. It basically covers all the bases. I've shared it in the past and have had great feedback on it, so I'm sharing again. I hope all will take the time to read it.

Supplies For Tape and Post

12/26/2020

3 Comments

 
There are a few different methods used out there for a proper tape and post. But I've been asked to provide a supply list for the method I've used on my own dogs. I think in todays world the backer rod method is the one most commonly used and I've had good luck with it. A typical tape and post using the method and the list of supplies below should last on average about 10 days. 

Cloth Tape: Zonas
2 inch for wrapping backer rod.... one roll should be enough
Alternatively some people wrap their post with duck tape. I prefer medical grade tape.
​www.amazon.com/Zonas-Porous-Tape-Each-Roll/dp/B0070P3O3S/ref=sr_1_6?crid=3JGL7OFK4PP0C&dchild=1&keywords=zonas+tape+2+inch&qid=1609020880&sprefix=zonas+tape+2+inch%2Chpc%2C321&sr=8-6




1 inch for bridges:

Torbot Glue to make things easier!

Cloth Tape For Wrapping The Ear!!! Main Ingredient:
Not sure of quantity needed. Maybe start with 6

Backer Rod for the Post: Can also be purchased from Home Depot
​www.amazon.com/M-D-Building-Products-71480-20-Feet/dp/B000BQWOC0/ref=pd_sbs_1?pd_rd_w=HtgBi&pf_rd_p=ed1e2146-ecfe-435e-b3b5-d79fa072fd58&pf_rd_r=3MTF6R3VS9YGQKBJ6JK6&pd_rd_r=a84eedba-357d-4366-8e07-6fe70f611b72&pd_rd_wg=gNMTM&pd_rd_i=B000BQWOC0&psc=1


​


8 Inch Zip Ties... aka Cable Ties Strengthens Post... Home Depot?

And A Can of WD40:  for easy and painless removal of all of above... 

Witch Hazel or Rubbing Alcohol For Clean Up



​Zymox is used to prevent ear infections while in Tape and Post... a couple drops into the ear canal each day.


​www.amazon.com/ZYMOX-Solution-Only-Pre-Clean-Once/dp/B0025YOJXS/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=31P9HEIUK815T&keywords=zymox+otic&qid=1579748844&sprefix=zymox%2Caps%2C209&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&smid=A3GMBSXF8XL5PX&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyRFdPOFg5SUg3WVBHJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwOTI1MzMwMzJJT1pURFVERE1BQSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNzczOTE4MUtOS1o4QkNRV0VRVSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

All total I think the above supplies add up to close to $100 but not too bad considering a standard tape and post at a vets office will run 
anywhere from $25 to $40 per. And there will be many going forward. I recommend keeping your pups in tape and post until the teething process is complete which occurs around 6 months of age. There's no need to let the ear "air out" for any extended period between postings. Object is to get them up and NOT let them flop, even briefly.  I usually remove posts, clean the ear and repost within a couple hours.

Also important is to keep your posts dry. I've found sandwich baggies come in handy for rainy days. Just open the baggie, slip it over the posts and secure with a small piece of tape under the bridge. 

Hope this helps. Don't think I've forgotten anything but if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Now or over the course of time.

General Pupdate...

12/17/2020

Six plus weeks and counting!!! Not sure how it's been on your end but time has flown by for me!!! 

Still struggling a bit with the weather here between cold and rain but up until yesterday we had three or four really pleasant and for the most part sunny days. A few last week too. 

In reviewing and comparing week five to week six photos, some of the pups look like they have changed quite a bit. Some look as though they've little. I think because I've not been able to get their photos done as close to the actual appropriate day as I've been able to in some previous litters. I take them out and get their photos when the weather permits but don't take the pups out in any particular order. So, some that went late last week may have gone early this week. Guess I should pay more attention to order for the purpose of photos when I have to work around weather. 

Last week when I had them out I noticed some, especially the girls were looking ribby...  Pink and Green specifically. A couple of the boys are looking rather rotund.... kind of as they have all along. Acknowledging this imbalance, I started feeding the boys and girls in separate rooms 5 or 6 days ago and the girls seem to be filling out their frames pretty quickly. Lavender, although smaller than the boys seems to be nearly as plump so I'll have to keep an eye on her. Might have to toss her back in with her brothers during feeding time. All pups seem to be eating well and sticking with it until their bowl is clean. Only thing I can figure is the boys are more aggressive about getting the grub and I think have been getting more than their share. They, the gluttons and the girls the little divas. 

I had a nice visit from Rosemary and her hubby over the weekend when they stopped by to meet their girl, Miss Green. Their pup responded well, happy inquisitive and open to meeting her new family. She played and played for well over an hour and showed no evidence of even beginning to slow down. Their stamina is definitely increasing. 

Selections have begun... Sunday Twittie and his other half will come and be subjected to having to choose between the Red and Rust Boys. And Monday Gladys and her husband will come to select one of the Black and Rust's. I'm still having difficulty making my choice. It's never easy it seems! 

Hope everyone is well and getting prepared for incoming. :-)

So Sorry....

What was promised, by me, yesterday isn't going to come to fruition. But the weather man did in fact come through....
​We had a gorgeous day today with highs in the mid to upper 70's. The pups spent a few hours outside contained within their newly set up outdoor corral. Similar to the indoor one...  I gave them some toys to get 
accustomed to. And to keep them occupied while I did some basic outdoor grounds keeping... They played and played and eventually crashed. Getka stood watch of the pups. Slightly nervous with the new arrangement to begin with, but her anxiety was short lived. Soon she eased off her parameter duty to enjoy what was I'm sure a much missed game of ball. Was good to see her worry free after he initial reaction. Guess that means she felt her pups were content.
 
​Trying to get the babes trained to the follow me command. Or gesture with associated encouragement....   Considering their limited exposure to same they're doing a pretty good job. Some get waylaid en route  but for the most part they're doing well. Will try and get some more pics up tomorrow... but no promises.

I really do hate not coming through on promises. Must stop trying to predict the future.  :-)
