12/6/21 831pm- Breeder's Diary- Day 7 pups are gaining weight fast and had to loosen collars more. they are getting fiesty. Yellow collar did well today. But they can't hear nor see until 2 weeks but gaining weight fast. I kid you not Lucy is eating 5lbs of chicken leg quarters liver, had her tums with cheese. ground beef. Shoveling her food but I want that first milk to be plentiful and she regained her physique. But Mom's first milk is everything to me.
12/6/2021 502pm - Breeder's Diary- Let me preface, that I am the least superstitious ever. I live next to Cemetery and love my neighbors! Only ones I have. But last night had a dream Edelweiss was lying on the driveway and as I approached? I said, "Edelweiss!" She kept looking over to the creek. My Mom asked me how the pups were doing and I mentioned. I loved seeing her even if in a dream. I won't think anything of it aside from it was vivid. And I told my Mom, I loved seeing her even if in a dream. Many of our owners grieve and I am no exception. My husband took off work this morning and I went home early this afternoon. I have a lot of work to do until the end of the year and was surprised my boss follows me. I do love my job, by the way. Affords me my passion, he is a great boss. But he asked how the pups were doing and explain the q-tips. I explained pups can't hear nor see for weeks. I speculated that must be why the gestation period is so short. I talked to the owner of the other female. We only have two and her name will be "Quilla Zaporia Cerberus" Isn't that beautiful. Lucy, we are shoveling food. But all is well. But I suspect those who read this blog are "haunted" by former dogs. And that isn't superstition. We just miss them. This was my Edelweiss. I miss her, and was happy to see her. Even if it was only a dream. Our new pup will be her half sister but no dog is ever made twice. It is a grievance we must process.
