PUPPIES - The "C" litter has been CONFIRMED! [WARNING-IMAGE HEAVY]

[phantasy]

I bet 6 boys and 5 girls. So, can we start throwing names out? what will the theme be?

I was telling my roommate about them. I said "Now they've got to come up with 11 themed names that start with C!"

[AdminAssistant]

Um, not to be the Debbie Downer here, but with that many puppies, I wouldn't be naming anything before it hatched, so to speak.

wow 11...
i know what admin said but i still put in a vote for a CACTUS puppy

i suddenly thought of a puppy possible names pun/tongue twisters
Candid Camo Candy Cactus Creep lol
Also thought of Cannon Cameos Cause Cancer but Cause and Cancer are weird names lol
But how about a Case of Chocolate Caramel Candy Cream Cash

thats 11 Candid, Camo or Cameo, Candy, Cactus, Creep, Cannon, Case, Chocolate, Caramel, Cream and Cash

My wife has a ((very) long) list.

Yes, we both know litters this large are high risk but it is important to think positively!

We got digital shots of her x-rays. I colored them - red circles and lines represent actual / confirmed puppies. Green sets are duplicates (on both - they're red on one, green on the other - don't count green). Blue are possible puppies.




Yes, she needed two X-rays. Still no temperature drop.

Edit: My wife thinks I might have missed one in the very top of the first one - the vets think they saw a skull in there but it was obstructed by Kiri's bowels (talk about a shitty spot to be in!)

Edit 2:
At the vet yesterday she weighed 94 pounds - her normal weight is about 70.

on the top left? yeah that looks like a there 12 i think i can see the skull there it looks like all the other

[BookstoreEscapee]

those x-rays are freaky-cool

[AdminAssistant]

Please don't think I'm trying to be negative - I certainly hope that all 11 are happy and healthy.

You should put up a webcam so we can watch the puppies.

I'm going to try to set this up.

Now it is Luna in her crate.

Edit: Thank you BookstoreEscapee - I've fixed the link.

I get a "can't find server" error

Woohoo! It works!

Yay! Something to do at work.

It's offline for me right now.

It will be offline until after she has her puppies and there's something to watch. I doubt people want to watch little furballs that look like poop just lying there.

Her temperature dropped earlier today but it is back to normal now.

Yay for puppies!

Hm... "C" names...

Cinnamon, Cilantro, Cumin, Curry, Chicory, Chili, Cardamom, Caraway...

Those x-rays are cool!

Athena was renamed Pepper - and she does fit that name (she's a spicy girl!)

Sara already has Kiri's next two litters planned out, too and possibly Luna's first.

The durawhelp came in today so we got that set up. I may give the cam another go tonight.

Her temperature went down one degree (normally the drop is two) so we're going to check it again when my wife comes home after her training class.

Edit: I have the cam up and running now - probably will for an hour or so (it is recording, too). Kiri is making herself comfortable in there.

I thought I posted this but I guess I didn't.

Sometime between 3:30PM and 6:30PM Kiri's temperature dropped.
