Why do puppies and momma's fuss or get so busy during the night, when I am trying to sleep? I am SO tired... and my knees are sore from going up and down the stairs several times all day and all night... it stinks getting old. But look at the good workout I am getting. I need a pedometer. I know I normally put on the miles each day, but I have to be going for a record.
Well they have their spots on now. The two liver boys are looking like their spotting will be more like momma Figgy. Liver spotting is interesting as you can have more spots per inch of dog and it will be okay. In my experience Liver spots "usually" do not "explode" or grow in size as much as the black spots can. But once in a while they do explode too. Of course Brutus the patch is looking like he will have pretty spotting.
All pups three are still hearing as of today. I don't think I see any blue eyes, but will keep checking on that. MY eyes are not as good as they used to be. Going to have to go up to the next level of reading glasses. LOL.
Figgy had gotten an ear infection... inflamed, red and sore ear. I think it began as she laid under the heat source trouble lamp I have shining on the whelping box. That would be the perfect condition for growing who knows what in an ear canal. I tried to get her to lay elsewhere, but Figgy can have a bit of a mind of her own and that is where she wanted to be. Anyway, I have been carefully treating it with "The Purple Stuff" for just a few days and it is almost all gone. No more redness, and no longer warm to the touch. That is good stuff! She had been scratching at her ear and has the hair worn down in one place. Poor momma. I have her fixed up again now!
