Strawberry Pie - Due date 7/28 - 7/31

Strawberry Pie's due date is July 28 through the end of the month.  She is not very big and may not have any puppies at all but she is a large dog...  She was bred with The Jazzman so the puppies (if any) will be awesome.  I've posted a photo of her last litter to get an idea of her litters.

Slim Jim Tucker's brother

Last year, Slim Jim Tucker would stretch across the entrance to the greenhouse and wait for a mouse just like his mother, Blackie, would do the year before. Today, as I was taking Cherry Cookie out for her daily walk, I noticed that one of the dogs had been playing with a belt... a skinny belt about four feet long!  And it started to move! Cherry Cookie and I just waited until the 'Belt' crawled out of the way.  He was beautiful-- like a checker board design on his back.  Cherry wanted me to keep him but then he wouldn't be catching any mice so I let him go. These are photos from a website since I didn't have my camera with me.

Cherry Cookie whelped three males and one female 7/6/2010

Cherry Cookie had a C-section about three o'clock this afternoon. She had three males and one female. The birthing pictures don't show much other than wet, pink snouts, and some bloody smears... You can see the umbilical clamps.  Originally the only way to quickly tie off the umbilical cord was an awkward hemostat.  We tried bobby pins, thread, hair twists, and then Dr. Frank found some "human" umbilical clamps and that's what we've been using since. The tall vet tech is Justin (it's his birthday!)

Farrah - English bulldog puppy - weaning!

Farrah is weaned! Her mother (Dixie Pie) decided to cut Farrah's feedings short which left the puppy without enough nourishment.  Since the puppy's eyes had been open for a couple of days, and she can move around without flipping on her back (like a turtle) I made up a "solid food" supplement:  Two tablespoons of Purina Puppy Chow, two tablespoons of hot water, and three tablespoons of half and half.  Let the kibbles soak for thirty minutes and let the blender mush it into a slurry.  The first few days, I've been feeding her with a syringe sans needle.  I let her nurse on a finger tip and slide the syringe tip into her cheek and SLOWLY empty the syringe into her mouth.  She sucks it naturally.  Next step is letting her find the food in a bottle top or small saucer.  She should be able to lap it up.

Hi,
I just adopted a friends bulldog and have been reading your site. Baxter is 3 and he suffers from chronic ear infections, yellow gunky stinky ears and allergies. I have read your remedies for both and will try both. They had him on a very expensive bulldog food for gas, it is useless. Can you please recommend what I should feed him and how, do you still wet adult food too? Yor site is a god send and I look forward to making Baxter's life a little better and mor comfortable for him..I have a mutt who is so easy I had no idea the care bullies took, but so far I have cleared up alot of his stinky issues..Thanks for the site and I hope to hear from you.

=================================
Hi Kris!  

All of our bulldogs (and the six strays that came to stay) all eat Purina Dog Chow.  The adults eat DRY  with plenty of water available.  I usually limit the older bulldogs to two or three cups per day.  But they stay chunky.  Nothing looks worse than a skinny bulldog (LOL).  Bulldog puppies need Purina Puppy Chow up to the age of two years (that's what they told me...)

The ear problem sounds like yeast infection and the cleaner is on the web site (puppygal.com) Whenever we rescue a bulldog that has ears with yeast, we keep up the treatment for three weeks after it looks all clear... get yourself a big box of Q-tips and be real careful -- a bulldogs ears and eyes are the only delicate part of a bulldog.

Have fun with your bullie!  And remember, don't laugh at him if he does something bad... they want you to be happy so they will repeat their actions if you laugh.
