Puppies, Puppies, Puppies!!!

Our pomeranian recently gave birth on election night to her first litter of puppies. Two little girls and one little boy. Because I am such a Twilight Geek, we named the puppies, Alice (brown), Jasper (small black one on the left) and Esme (Ms. Fatty in the Middle). Bella is good mom and we are relieved to have finally found a good breeding dog.

Alice was small from the start and we just thought that she would be the runt of the litter. After three days of losing weight, I had to start feeding her by inserting a tube down her throat to her stomache. So, every three hours I woke up and fed her. I toted her to Monatana for school and even came home from work in between clients for feedings. It was working too!! Alice was getting bigger and thriving. However, tradegy struck when last saturday, I woke to to feed her and she had died. She developed some breathing problems two days previous and it proved to be to much for this little pup that already fought so hard. We will miss her, she was a sweet little pup.

Esme, we now call Fatty, Fatty as she eats all the time. When she is not eating, she is whinning to eat. She is moving around alot and makes the cutest little chirping sound when she has wondered away from her brother or wants her mama.

Jasper is our sweet little boy, who cuddles into you when you hold him. Jasper has also begun to move around quite a bit and I woke up this morning to him yelping loudly because he had gotten out of the cage and couldn't find his way back. He is Jake's favorite.

Our proud momma, Bella is doing good but getting sick of her puppies rather fast. When she is not feeding them, she wants out of the cage for her own cuddle time.
