DAY TWO

Some sad news to report this time.  The tiniest girl passed early this morning.  Overnight she began to fail and Jazz kept licking her hoping to have her respond better, but this licking only worked to hasten things along since it made her chilled; we did put her into the incubator/heating box but she was not breathing properly and we knew from experience that it was not going to be a positive outcome.  She passed quietly and peacefully and now is on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge with all the other Karefree dogs who were there waiting for her.

On a more upbeat note; the other little girl has gained weight already and is now up to 7 oz (from 5.9 oz) and this is very good news since all puppies lose some weight the first 24 hours.  Also good is that the first critical period has now passed - the first 24 hours is a time when bad things can more easily affect the newborns.

Here is Momma Jazz today

and here is a video taken of Momma Jazz and babies...all 8 babies are there but one kept going underneath Jazz....

and, could not resist this cute picture of little patched boy.

Next update will show pix of the boys and girls separately. Probably Saturday.
