MORE Teeny Tiny Imperial Shih-Tzu!!!
This has been a really busy week and Foxie held out on having her puppies until 1:00 in the morning last night.
Danielle and I met yesterday and since Foxie had not had her babies, she brought her with her. Pretty funny as soon as we got in the hotel room and got settled, Foxie started digging. Her contractions were still pretty far apart so we were pretty sure we were going to have a long night ahead of us. We slept for about an hour and then woke up to Foxie in pretty hard labor. She pushed the first girl out about 1:30 and had 3 puppies before 2:00, then we waited and waited and finally she pushed the other 2 out and was done around 4:00. We got her all cleaned up and fresh bedding and went to bed around 4:30, slept for a few hours and I got up to come home. Danielle had to go to work so I brought Foxie and the puppies home with me! She is being an excellent mom and loves her babies....they are all really tiny right now, it will be fun watching them grow. I just posted pictures of them and will take more in a few days after they fill out a little bit. I guess you could say I am in puppy heaven right now because I have never had this many litters at one time. We have a litter in the dining room, living room, and our bedroom. :0) I put Juicy's in the dining room and expanded their pen into a 4 x 2 instead of a 2 x 2, so they have lots of room to play!
Tinka's babies are just now starting to peep their eyes open so within the next couple of days they will be completely open. I am waiting for their eyes to open to take new pictures, but it won't be too much longer. :0)
I will post more as new things happen and time permits!

Teeny Tiny Imperial Shih Tzu Puppies
I came home to a bit of surprise after work yesterday….SURPRISE, Tinka was having her babies under Maveric’s bed!! He called me while I was driving home and was in a little bit of disbelief. When I got there she already had 3 and while I was moving them she pushed out the 4th. She delivered 4 beautiful babies all by herself, 2 girls and 2 boys. The girls and 1 boy look to be a gorgeous red and then the other boy right now looks like gold, possibly reddish gold…. he is super tiny and super adorable! The girls were 4.4 and 4 oz. Then the 2 boys were 3 and 2.2 oz. I had a hard time getting the tiniest boy to nurse, but once he finally got latched on, he has been doing very well. This is the first time I have not been there with one of my moms whelping. I am really happy she did great, she had the babies and herself cleaned up .
Some more VERY awesome and exciting news to share……..Foxie’s x-ray show she has 5 puppies for sure and they are 75% positive there is a 6th one in there!!! She is due in 9 days so we are all super excited about her babies arriving! Foxie is at Danielle’s house so she gets to be the lucky one to help bring them into the world and greet them when they arrive. I am bummed I can't be there, but I will be on the phone with her.....every step of the way!!

Tinka! Tinka!!
We have had quite the week here....I will start off by sharing the good news we found out at the vet today.
Tinka's x-ray showed she will be having 4 puppies!!! YAY! We will be finding out how many Foxie will be having next week. :0) Posh has also been bred, so as long as the breeding took, we will be having more babies!!! It is nice because all of the litters are spread out very nicely!
Juicy's babies will be 6 weeks old tomorrow, they are growing and have the cutest personalities. I am working on making them pages and will be posting them up soon.
Danielle came to my house for a visit with her daughter Lauryn and we stayed so busy and had a lot of fun.
Friday night was a night of relaxation after an 8 hour drive for them. Saturday was a very busy and productive day....Danielle made my mom look like a new woman while I went to class. My mom's hair looks absolutley amazing!
Then we came home and worked on the room we are remodeling, Danielle mudded and I sanded, Alyssa and her family came out to my house and picked up Jiffy - he is going to be super spoiled! We bathed her puppies and got them all ready to go to their new homes. Sunday, Danielle and I got up at 4:00 in the morning and drove to Chicago to ship her puppies and Bon Bon, then we went and spent the remainder of the day shopping and on the way home we had the most amazing Snicker Caramel Apple....it was just out of this world! Lauryn stayed with Alex and Scott and hung out for the day, watching the Nascar race and playing games. When we got home, we relaxed and went over all of our AKC paperwork. Good thing I keep good records, now it is all organized! On Monday, I had to take Alex to the Dr. he has a ruptured ear drum with an ear infection. We came home and groomed some more, then just hung out. Tuesday was a sad day.....Danielle and Lauryn went home. We really enjoyed our time together.
Then yesterday, Alex's ear infection seemed worse, so we spent the evening in the ER from 8:00 - 3:00. They gave him lots of good stuff for the pain. He went in screaming in pain and we left with him pretty close to being passed out.
Today, his ear still hurts, but we have a much better pain medicine to help with that. One of the worst things for me is when my kids are sick, it is just horrible watching them be in pain.
Today, we had our first annual inspection from the Ag Dept. He said everything looks great and we passed with flying colors!!!

Puppies! Puppies!! Puppies!!!
This has been a really busy summer and we have been having a blast! I am still trying to figure out where the month of July went. We have been hanging out at our friend’s pool a lot because it has been so hot….I gotta say. I LOVE THE HEAT!!!
Juicy’s babies are getting so big and they are all just adorable. Dolce discovered his voice yesterday. He looked up at me and did a little playful growl bark. It was really cute…I asked him what he was trying to tell me, but I think he was a little shocked a voice came out of his mouth. :0)
I started them on their puppy mush Wednesday evening and that was just plain cute. They all started off licking it from my finger and then just dived in feet first. Oh what a mess! Juicy cleaned them up pretty well, but last night I ran them under warm water to clean them off. They are walking around and playing. They love to climb on Juicy’s head and chew on her ears….they do love their mommy very much. They all love to be held and get lots of kisses from me. I always put them on their back and carry them around the house like babies. Oh yes, and then we sit down and I tilt them up and we play pat – a – cake! I pat their paws together and then we roll them and then we put them up high and give kisses for puppy and me! I have to say….I am totally loving these babies. :0)
We have a little bit of news to share!
Tinka and Foxie are both for sure pregnant!!! Tinka is due on August 13th and Foxie is due on August 19th…..August 19th is mine and Scott’s 10 year Anniversary!! We will be doing x –rays on them at the beginning of August to see how many babies we will be having.
Posh is in heat and we are breeding her to Bam Bam. We think those babies are going to have the cutest baby doll faces ever and they will be tiny too…..I LOVE all of my Bam Bam babies! He just never lets me down. :0) He is a wonderful little stud muffin. He is so funny when we say Bam! Bam! He does a little dance and gets so excited. We love our little man!
Tiny Tot Shih tzu update - You Tube Video Posted!!
We had a long and fun 4th of July weekend. We went camping at our friend's house who had a weekend long 4th of July party. :0)
Peanut will be joining his new family this Saturday so I am giving him lots of hugs and kisses and telling him how much we love him. We are going to miss this little guy very very much. He likes to jump on Jewel and then Jewel puts him in his place. I think she is really going to miss her brother. She does have Jaq to play with though, our new little stud muffin. Jewel and Jaq are quite the pair. :0) Jaq is very silly, he is always sitting right in the middle of the food dish chomping away.
Choxie's babies have their eyes open and they are fat butterballs. All of her babies are very beautiful. I absolutely love their faces.
Juicy's babies are growing nicely. Their eyes are not open yet, but they will be within the next 2 - 3 days! I cannot wait to see them with their eyes open and seeing the world for the first time. I did take a couple short videos of them and just got them uploaded!!!

Puppy Update!
Choxie's babies are starting to open their eyes! I will post new pictures in a few days. :0) They are all adorable little butterballs.
I took Juicy's babies to get their dew claws removed yesterday. They were not happy about that yesterday, but are over it today. :0) They are growing nicely and are all very cute. I am anxious for them to open their eyes....but that won't be for about a week or so.

Shih-Tzu puppies 1 day old
Here is our proud mommy - Juicy with her 4 beautiful babies! She was pretty tired out after the long night and morning we had but today she looks really good and I think she feels refreshed. She is a wonderful mom and loves her babies very much. :0) They are all adorable. Each one has gained .2 oz the first day! They should double their birth weight the first week. They look like they are starting to fill out a little more. :0) I am going to try and get some new pictures tomorrow or maybe another group shot. :0)
Juicy's puppies have arrived!
After a long night of panting and being uncomfortable, Juicy started having her babies at 8:00 this morning.
The first one was a black and white boy - he didn't make it. The placenta was detached. Part of the placenta came out first and then the puppy attached to the placenta all in one. After working on him for a long time, trying to get him to take a breathe - he didn't. :0(
Girl 1 came second - I am unsure of her color. She is beautiful...small and dainty. She weighs 4.2 oz.
Boy 2 came third - he is gorgeous solid black and a hefty boy weighing 5.8 oz.
Girl 2 came fourth - she is a beautiful solid black and also small. She weighs 4.6 oz.
Fifth and final came boy 3 - he is just adorable -solid black with white markings like his dad. He weighs 4.8 oz.
Juicy and her babies are doing wonderful. The babies are eating really good and Juicy lays by them with her head nuzzled in. :0)
I will post pictures soon!

Juicy is in labor!!
Juicy is in labor....her temp is down to 97.5, eyes are dilated, I have her all set up ready to go, she is digging a little here and there and breathing a little heavier...but not panting yet. My guess is the first one will arrive around 12:00 or 1:00. I will be shocked because that is pretty darn close to my original 3:00 guess before! I will post more as things happen here! Stay tuned.....I think it is going to be a long night for Juicy and I.
Juicy Pregnancy Day 61
We are still waiting....anxiously!
Juicy's colostrom is in and her temperature is bouncing around.....this morning it was 98.7. I will take it again tonight. She ate good last night, then kind of nibbled this morning, but now looks at the dish and walks away. We'll see if she continues to do that. She has been yawning alot and licking the air.....she falls asleep sitting up and then catches herself and lays down. I think she is also ready to get these babies out. :0)
