LOOOONNNNNGGGGG day. Kira’s temperature finally dropped today, which indicates delivery will be within 24 hours, I was hoping for sooner then 24 hours. Monica came over and as we are hanging out staring at Kira. I kept saying “you stink.” Monica kept thinking I was talking about her. Kira was giving off this awful-rotten smell. We are thinking things like dead-rotten puppies, etc., etc. After talking to Judy, a breeder friend, she suggested we figure out just where the smell was coming from….duh. So Monica and I stuck our noses to Kira and smelled her from head to tail. Apparently she had rolled in something stinky during one of her late night potty breaks and had some very odoriffic -grimy spots on her. We tried to spot clean her however this was ineffective. So she was lifted into the tub for a full bath. She was NOT happy about getting bathed…normally Kira likes her baths. Sorry Kira. But things are much nicer for our noses now.
Pre-puppy birth’in picture as requested by Lily and Kirsten:
Fresh from the oven, first born, a boy, weighing in at 24 ounces. Delivered by Ms. Monica.
Kira settling in with her dish of Breyers French Vanilla ice cream. For us….pizza is on the way.
I can’t believe that you were able to hoist her into the tub!
If I were Kira, I would hate Gavin by now—24oz teddy bear headed babies.
Poor Kira, her face just says, “Why me?” and also, “Dang that handsome devil Gavin!”
Let’s see some girls, Kira! YA YA!
WOW!!! Finally Kira!!!!
Congratulations to Kira! Holy smokes 24oz sounds big – what is a normal new-born puppy weight?
1 down and many more to go. Hang in there Kira.
Susan, Barb said you were checking here for your little girl. 😉
How many are you expecting?
Hoping Kira is doing well. Happy Thanksgiving!
Did you notice those little whisker nubs? Aren’t they just so cute?
Not to insult the kid—but he looks like a baby manatee – whiskers and all.
