Pics of Pups

Here's Nikki and her new babies. She absolutely adores them, and is being such a good mama that I'm very proud of her!

(If you can't see all the puppies, it's because the one puppy is laying somewhat on top of the fifth puppy.) Aren't they cute? Praise the Lord for five healthy babies! He's so good! 

Hey, does anyone have any name suggestions? I know it's a little early... but, hey, if you've got a good name idea, I just might pick it later! :-)

Puppies!

Five beautiful, healthy puppies born by Cesarian at about 9:30 pm - 10:00 pm on Wednesday, March 28th, 2012. There are three males and two females--all white. We are SO happy!

Labor!

Hey everyone! Just a quick note to let you know that Nikki's in labor! She came upstairs to wake me up at 5:30 this morning, and has been progressing ever since. Updates on the total number in her litter COMING SOON! :-)

Nikki's "Nest"

There is only ONE WEEK left before Nikki's due date (April 1st, '12)! She is now "nesting" and waiting for her puppies to come!

The whelping pen.

Did you ever see such a BIG belly??!!

We're counting the days until Nikki actually gives birth: Only 7 or so more! We can hardly wait! I'll post as soon as the puppies are here, so if you want to receive the updates, just scroll to the bottom of Countryside Cavachons' webpage and enter your email address into the "Follow by Email" gadget.

Grooming Nikki

Hello everyone! On Tuesday March 20th, a little less than two weeks before Nikki's due date (April 1st), we took her to the groomers to get her cleaned up and ready to have pups! Here's some photos from the experience!

Before:

Very dirty and matted! But I really like this pic! :-)

 At the Groomers:

"I can't wait to get cleaned up!"

Buzzing off Nikki's "fleece."

The bluing bath.

Getting blow-dried.

Fine-tuning buzz.

Trimming: Cavachon style

 

After:

What a BIG improvement! I love the little purple bow!

All sweet and pretty to welcome her puppies!

Well, I can hardly wait for the puppies to arrive, and I'm sure that Nikki can't wait to get them out of that big, fat belly of hers! :-) More updates coming! Follow this blog through Google or email to receive the updates, or just keep checking back! Have a wonderful day!

Someone's Getting a Tummy...

Hey everyone! I've got a great update for you all! Nikki's getting a tummy! Not that she didn't have one before, but now instead of being the blubbery "I-love-to-eat" tummy, it a hard, stretched "I'm-going-to-have-puppies-soon" tummy! A couple other great signs of pregnancy that we've noticed are as follows:

- Nikki has been lagging behind on walks, instead of bouncing ahead like she usually does...
- She's been eating a lot! Not that she didn't eat a lot before, but now she's eating more than her usually "lot!"
- She's been "nesting." She now seems to be sleeping much more and just lazing around all the time in her bed.

All these are great signs that we're going to have a litter of puppies in about a month (around April 1st, 2012--no fooling)! Check back or follow this blog for additional updates in the coming weeks! Can't wait for the puppies!
