Final Days

Mom says that it's almost time to have my babies. I am going to have them at Ms. Deb's house in Maryland and then the whole family will drive up and stay in the Big Apple through March. I am at Ms. Deb's already and my mom is coming down tomorrow. I can't wait to see her and show her all the work we've done to get ready for the puppies.

Ms Deb has made a lot of preparations, just like we did. She has cleaned and assembled a whelping box and has done a lot of laundry. The other day she came home with a couple of chickens for me, and yogurt and eggs, but said I ahve to wait to eat them until "its time."

I think building my strength up NOW would be a better idea don't you?

What if one of the other dogs gets to the chicken first? then what?

Perhaps I should just help myself to the chicken -- it's de-boned and everything. Easy access, if I only had opposable thumbs to open the refrigerator...

Sneak Preview

WEBCAM!!!!

Mom is trying to figure out how to stream live video onto the site so that people can SEE the puppies. Good luck mom!

In pictorial form, here is a step by step process to putting together a whelping box.

Mini Rockettes.

If you watch closely... you can see the puppies moving in my tummy.

Feeling the Ruff Wuff

Happy V Day!

Today is the day to celebrate Vizslas everywhere, and I am taking some time to really feel the wuff from the UMA puppies assembled in my tummy.

Woah. Ouch.

They are really moving and grooving today. Mom and Dad are fascinated by their pushing and nudging. I think the pups realize it's getting more and more crowded in there and are looking forward to seeing the big world.

The main activity planned for our V Day celebration is CONSTRUCTION.



Mom, Dad and I (in a supervisory and management role of course), will be constructing the whelping box! I won't be having the pups up in NYC, but this whelping box will be the base of operations for weeks 1.5 through 4.

Thankfully, Ms Melissa has graciously allowed us to use cousin Kayla's whelping box so we KNOW all of those pieces assemble in to SOMETHING!

We've already completed the site reconnaissance and modifications, and have laid the box's foundation.

All that's next is the framing and structural assembly. EASY!

Now, I think there were instructions somewhere around here...
