CHAOS IS BACK ONLINE-- PROBABLY THE PUPPY HILL FEED--- AND WHEN THE EXPLORE
.ORG PUPS COME OUT THEY WILL PROBABLY SWITCH TO REPLACING THE INDOOR CAMERA WITH
CHAOS BELLY.
LAST NIGHT-- STILL NOT KNOWING IF THAT CAMERA IS BROADCASTING SOUND--- I
THOUGHT I COULD NOT LEAVE IT RUNNING TO LISTEN TO ME SNORE AND WANDER AROUND
PERHAPS NOT FULLY CLAD. SO I SHUT IT OFF. WHEN SHE IS IN LABOR AND I HAVE SOME
HELP HERE I CAN LEAVE IT RUNNING.
NEXT PROBL;EM IS THE COMMENT SECTION OF THE EXPLORE SITE SEEMS TO BE NON
FUNCTIONING... SO I WILL PUT IT ALL HERE AND WHEN THE REST OF THE WORLD WAKES UP
THEY CAN STRAIGHTEN THAT OUT..
I TYPE ONLY ONCE...
AND THEY HAVE A LIST OF QUESTIONS FOR ME TO ANSWER...
***************************
WE ARE BACK-- NO CHANGE..
SHE SLEPT-- AS DID I...---- I HAVE NEVER HAD SO MANY PEOPLE SAY GOOD NIGHT TO ME-- IT IS KINDA FUN ---- BUT....
I AM BEGINNING TO PANIC.... ALL SHOULD GO WELL..SHE SEEMS PERFEDCTLY HEALTHY-- AND WE HAVE DONE EVERYTHING.. WE CAN--VACINATIONS.. GENERIC MULTI VITAMIN --WORMING.. NO FLEA CHEMICALS FOR HER--( THE REST GET THEM) WE COMB HER DAILY FOR FLEAS AND FLEA POOPIES AND HAVE HAD NONE IN WEEKS..OUR VET GEORGE IS ON DECK-- HE STOPS BY TO VISIT ON SUNDAYS ( THE POT LUCK FOOD IS GREAT) HE APPROVFED HER HEALTH BEFORE WE BRED HER AND HAS SEEN HER SINCE-- HE IS 7 MINUTES AWAY AND I HAVE HIS CELL.. ALL SYSTEMS ARE GO..

ALL SYSTEMS ARE GO..
ONE HEADS UP I MIGHT MENTION--- SOMETIME THE AMNIOTIC FLUID IS DARK GREEN-
THERE ARE PUPS WE THOUGHT WERE BLACK ONLY TO GET THEM CLEANED UP AND FOUND THEY
WERE WHITE-- AND THEY STAYED A LIGHT GREEN FOR WEEKS.- THAT IS APPARENTLY
NORMAL.
WE HAVE ALWAYS VERY ACTIVELY PARTICIPATED IN THE BIRTHING PROCESS... OUR
FEMALES SEEM TO APPRECIATE THE HELP-- WE ONLY DO THE CRITICAL PARTS - SO AS NOT
TO INTERFEERE WITH HER NATURAL INSTINCTS TO BOND.... LIKE GET THE HEAD UNCOVERED
THEN WORK WITH HER TO UNTANGLE THE REST... ANOTHER HEADS UP-- THAT UMBILICAL
CORD NEEDS TO BE SHREADED---- PULL IT LEGNTHWISE AND IT BREAKS AND ALL IS FINE--
CUT IT AND YOU GET BLEEDING PROBLEMS-- THAT IS MY EXPERIENCE-- IT IS A LITTLE
HARD TO LOOK AT AS SHE PICKS THEM UP BY THE AFTERBIRTH AND THE DANGLE BY THAT
CORD....- BUT THAT IS HOW THIS SHREADING IS ACCOMPLISHED.-- THEN THERE IS THE
EATING OF THE AFTERBIRTH--- POETIC PEOPLE TALK ABOUT KEEPING THE NEST CLEAN
ETC... I CAREFULLY REMOVED IT ONCE AND THE FEMALE HAD PROBLEMS WITH STAMINA FOR
CONTRACTIONS FOR THE LAST FEW-- REALLY TIRED... THEN I REALIZED THAT IS ALSO
NURISHMENT-- I HAVE NOT REMOVED IT SINCE.. YUCK !!! --
GEORGE AND I ARGUE ABOUT ALOT OF THINGS ( LIKE HAIR GROWING OUT OF A TOOTH)
BUT ON THIS BIRTHING PROCESS HE HAS MADE NO CORRECTIONS---NOW IF ANY OF YOU HAVE
MORE EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE THAN GEORGE-- I WILL BE HAPPY TO LISTEN BUT --
SPARE US THE 20 20 HINDSIGHT "IF YOU ONLY HAD FED HER RED RASBERRY LEAVES"
EXPERIMENTAL CONCEPTS..
I WILL GET THIS OFF AND THEN TACKLE THE Q&A..
****
IT DID NOT "GO" SO I PUT IT HERE.. AND NOW THE QUESTIONS....
THERE WAS ONE WONDERFUL QUESTION /RESPONSE ABOUT DETERMINING THE NUMBER OF
PUPS BY TOSSING FEATHERS TO THE WIND...
BOY IS THAT IN KEEPING... REMEMBER LAST WEEK....LULU AND THE BEAUTIFUL
WHITE FEATHERS IN TH EPILLOW SHE PLAYED WITH ON THE DECK... THE BY ACTUAL COUNT
14 MILLION...
THE MOST PUPS WE HAVE HAD HERE IS 13 LIVE, NURSING... THE SMALLEST IS 1 (
OR MAYBE 0 WHO KNOWS?)
HOW MANY TIMES BRED? A VERY LOGICAL QUESTION FOR NORMAL BREEDERS...
HOWEVER..... ALL WE DO IS BE SURE THEY TIE ONCE-- THEN WE LEAVE THEM TOGETHER
AND DON'T BOTHER WITH THE REST OF THE DETAILS-- SOMETIMES MAKING NOTE-- BUT IF
THEY WERE MUTTS ONE TIME WOULD BE ENOUGH.
WHAT COLOR IS THE DAD?? OF COURSE WE KNOW...... OR LET ME REPHRASE IT-----
EARLENE WILL KNOW... I PLAN WHO ---BUT ONCE IT HAS HAPPENED I FORGET---
THE POSSIBLE STUDSW ARE JASPER ( BLACK WITH WHITE) BENTLEY ( HARL) YELLOW
( MERLE)---AND BUMPY ( BLACK)
I DO REMEMBER... TRYING TO "USE" YELLOW WITH SOME FEMALE-- COULD HAVE BEEN
CHAOS-- AND HE WAS JUST TOO YOUNG TO MECHANICALLY ACCOMPLISH THE WHOLE
PERFORMANCE-- SO IN FEAR THE FEMALE WOULD BE OUT OF HEAT WE INVITED BENTLEY TO
HAVE A GO AT IT-- WHICH HE DID SUCCESSFULLY AT WHICH POINT YELLOW SAID "OH
THAT?"" AND MANAGEED ALSO
IF THAT WAS CHAOS-- IT COULD BE EITHER-- OR BOTH--- 2 FATHERS FOR 1 LITTER
IS POSSIBLE--- AND YELLOW AND BENTLEY ARE BROTHERS-- BOTH LOVELY DOGS SO WE
DON'T CARE.--
AND THE AKC WITH IT'S CURRENT DNA PROGRAM CAN NOT HELP-- FATHERHOOD CAN BE
DETERMINED NOT BY THEIR $40 DNA TEST----FATHERHOOD IS ANOTEHR $120.. RIGHT !! I
GUESS THE $40 TEST DETERMINES THAT IT IS A DOG..
*****
I MOVED THE STOOL AWAY FROM CHAOS BED BECAUSE FROM NOW ON SOMEONE WILL BE
FAIRLY NEAR HER..IF YOU NOTE WHEN SHE SLEEPS WITH HER BACK TO THE WALL , HER
FEET HANG OVER ABOUT 1" NOW TURN THAT AROUND WITH HER FEET THE WALL AND 1" OF
HER BACK HANGS OVER-- THAT WORRIES ME. SO THE STOOL WOULD BREAK THE FALL.
*****
NOT ONLY WAS CHAOS TH E INDIAN PRINCESS IN THE CALENDAR SHOT... SHE WAS
ALSO(PRIOR TO PREGNANCY) ONE OF THE DOGS WE HAD ON THE LIMB OF THE TREE WITH THE
CAT AT THE BOTTOM... THERE ARE 5 PICTRURES OF THAT EPISODE IN THE BOSTON
GLOBE
