How about the name Steve? - "Hey, what's your dog's name?" -"Steve"

My new furkid (no name as of yet) was born yesterday afternoon!! sounds like an exciting birth - read below. So we are now collecting puppy names to consider. I am partial to non-human names like Mojo, Jihad, Havoc, Ballyhoo (really like the idea of saying BAD MOJO when he misbehaves) and boytoy likes silly human names like Sebastian, Belvedere etc. We also both like literary or film references - Kavik is named after a Walt Morely kids book called Kavik the Wolf Dog. Please no names that start with K, we dont' want to confuse the kids. **Quoted material follows**** QT (Ch Cascadia I am I said) packed her nightie and came to live at the Rainkee Birthing Center last Sunday. We had one last vet visit planned for today (Thursday) in anticipation of puppies early next week. So, I packed up QT this afternoon to stop at the Vet before heading to a council meeting in Oregon City. Did the x-ray and every one of the vets had to come in and see the x-ray and hug their favorite patient QT. It appeared we had EIGHT maybe more puppies packed into that little body and after checking the chart figured it would be Monday or Tuesday before she popped. So, off QT and I went to my meeting. I came out to the car an hour later to hear what sounded like a kitten in the back of the car....YEP, first puppy! nice and clean and dry. So, I grabbed the cell phone and called the vet - what now, I'm 30 minutes to the vet; 50 minutes to home. Helen, who doesn't do no birthings, is somewhere in between. Vet, who we've known for 25 years or so, is laughing and figures the best bet is to just stop at Helen's and let her help with the whelpin'.... Instead, I snuggled the puppy under my wool jacket, got behind the wheel of the van, and headed for home the backway so I could stop if I needed to. While I'm driving and trying to line up Dad to take care of the other dogs; Kathy Gray who wanted to observe QT's birthing (in anticipation of her Rose, QT's sister, doing this next summer), and Helen who's somewhere on the way home from work, I look in the rearview mirror and see QT beginning to pant and fuss again....then hear the squeak of another puppy.... Once home, I quickly changed clothes while puppy number 1 scoots around on my bed lookin' for a warm spot...and went back to the car to get QT and her other puppy and settle all in the real birthing room. I found not one, but two puppies in the crate with her for 3 total while we were out and about. (Sadly, one, a very small girl, didn't make it - not sure if she never started or just got chilled, QT had her stashed in a corner). Once downstairs QT settled right down to business and popped out another 2 puppies before Kathy got here, then a short break for dinner and QT popped out another one. Then we had a LONG break of a couple hours and the last 2 popped out. In all, QT has 7 beautiful babies - 5 boys, 2 girls; They've been throughly washed, weighed, and snuggled by Kathy & I. QT's settled into her den with her brood, everyone's had a turn at the milk bar, the puppy pad is finally warmed up, and now I'm heading off to bed. Not sure how much sleep I'll get, Supermom Jackie is fussing to go down and be with the babies, but she's just gonna have to wait. More tomorrow after we've all had some rest. -- Judi James - Out Oregon Way <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> Cheers, Beth Fleischer Certified Advanced Cold Fusion Developer Internet Programmer Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
