It's Weiner-Dog Time

As most of you already know, my miniature dachshund, SallyMae, was expecting puppies around Memorial Day.
She is a young mother. With the help of the other weiners in the household, they dug a hole under the fence in the backyard, and she slipped under, and I found her about 2 blocks down, tied to another weiner dog, and I didn't have any idea who he belonged to. So, she became a young mother, and it wasn't planned! lol

We planned to breed her once, and spay her. Well, our plans, weren't her plans.
She had her litter of 3 healthy weiner dog puppies last Wednesday, May 27. Two males and one female, and everyone is growing like they are supposed to.
So, as soon as we can, she'll be getting spayed. There is no way I can put my small dog through birth again. The first 2 puppies, both males, came out the right way, but our last puppy, a female, was breech. Came out legs first, and so I had to assist in the birth of that puppy. She wasn't breathing when she finally got out of the birth canal, but rubbing her vigorously with a towel helped stimulate her breathing. They are almost a week old now, and SallyMae has been the best little Mama, better than I expected. She is very protective over her babies when strangers come around, but she is pretty lax when the other dogs sniff them out and when the kids want to see her "baby puppies"

Garrett thinks we are keeping all of them, but he's already been told that we won't keep one. We already have 3 dogs, and that's enough weiners! He did name them for the time being, Conner, Tobey, & Butterfly!
I'm just glad the puppies are finally here, and now we can wait for the weeks when they start to walk around and chew on stuff! The end of July will be here before we know it, and they can go to their new homes!


Without further ado, we proudly introduce SallyMae and the litter of 3 weiners!
