In late January 2010, New England Border Collie Rescue took in 4 border collies from a family that could no longer care for them. Two of the dogs, Ivy and Peat, had accidentally bred, and Ivy whelped February 17th. This is the blog for the pups.

Day 1

All the pups and Ivy had a good night. They all appeared warm, roly poly, strong, and had good appetites today.  Ivy is eating well (as long as Lynn serves her in bed.)  When pups got squeaky in the night, by the time Lynn got to them, Ivy had readjusted herself so that Lynn didn't have to help at all.


Amy spent a few hours sitting with mom and babies today as well.  Ivy is a bit nervous today of various noises.  When she gets spooked, she hunches down over the pups and tries to cover them with her head.  Pups were doing great, little heat seeking missiles are good at finding their way to the faucets!  They already look more solid today than they did yesterday.
