Casie's temp is steadily dropping!!!   I am so excited, nervous, scared, etc!!! 

Hopefully all the pups come safe.

Wont be long now!

Cant wait MOM!!! 

You're Gonna get a blue!!!!!!!!!!   LMAO

(inside joke people - mom DOESNT want a blue, so I said shes gonna get it.) 

good luck impish :) how longs not long lol ? is her due date today ? :)

hope you get what you want ...and not a blue :)  ?????? lol
let us know

x

Well right now she is day 59.  But in her line, they seem to go anywheres from day 57-63. 

About the blue thing, my daughter said I was going to get a blue because I am looking to get a new show dog.  Blue dogs arent allowed to be shown, so she said I would get it, since thats what I dont want.  Looking for a black and tan or a red pup.  Either colour, I am not picky.  Although a chocolate would be nice! 

Awww good luck Jan and Casie. We will all be with you, following progress closely. I cant believe how quickly the time has gone, that its here already. There is so much helpful advice on here ,im sure it will feel as thou everyone will be in the room with you when the time comes!
I for one will be keeping my lap top on for news from you or Kory, and waiting for piccies please?
Marie x

Oh thank you Marie!  Now its just wait and see, and pray that she doesnt need a c section!  Of course if she does, it will be 5 minutes after our regular vet closes for the night! 

Ah looks like she is going to be a while yet.  Think she is doing a "practice run" lol

:) the practice run :).....o well only 3days to go !!!! x

Good Luck, we had our puppies on monday, 1st born naturally 2nd pup got stuck so had to have c section :-(
never mind they are all gorgeous and healthy.  Soph was 3 days late (66 days) 1 boy and 3 girls in total. 
Keep us posted xxx

Still waiting, think this girl is never going to have these pups.  She always has been one to do things on her terms, so no sense in thinking having pups would be any different.

LOL!  We have had a whole load of these threads recently.  All CD'ers have been waiting with bated breath for an outcome.  Keep coming back and saying Any News?

We all get on tenterhooks over someone else's babies!  Awww!   :-)  :-)

So, keep us updated and everyone will be celebrating with you soon.

Well still nothing, the last couple of days we have been thinking that by morning for sure (no luck). 

Just double checked my calendar, and she is now at 62 days  from the third breeding and 60  days from the last.  Silent heat so we bred her as long as the male was interested and she would let him.  Almost a good thing that we were breeding Cher at the same time, cause when the experienced male didnt ever wake up when Cas was in the room, we decided that she must be out.
Hope that I never have another one like her again cause this 10 day due date is exhausting, especially when you add the couple of days for her going early because of the litter size (4 pups for a mini is exstremely large). 

She is dropping more evertime I take a good look at her.  (from above she looks to be skinny, which this dog has not been since she was 4 and did the minpin spread, with maturity). 

My vet is calling everyday to check on her, and they have a poll going as to what day the pups will finally get here. 

Checking the calendar we realized that if Cas goes to 63 days and Cher delivers at 60 days we could be whelping 2 litters at the same time.  Think that might be better than one day apart, lol.

Last night I brought my matteress downstairs to the livingroom, as my back was no handling the little couch.  So far this week we have done 4 puzzles, and yesterday bought 4 more.  But yesterday there were some uneven puddles on the carpets so she is getting real close, must be leaking when she jumps off the couch (she is determined that that is where she is going to have them, on my white couch)

That is all for this morning, when I came down here she was sleeping very peacefully with my sister, so not for a while yet anyways.

Jan

Mom, hang in there!  Waiting bites, and with all the excitement, and such going through your mind, it makes it a tad harder.  Maybe today?  I dont know.  But dont jinx it with saying Casie and Cher will whelp on the same day!  ARG.  It will be like the movie Father of the Bride 2!!!  (Pictures Steve Martin running back and forth at the hospital between his wife and daughter giving birth!) 

> But yesterday there were some uneven puddles on the carpets so she is getting real close, must be leaking when she jumps off the couch (she is determined that that is where she is going to have them, on my white couch)

Must be a hbit of the smaller breeds!  One of my girls insisted on whelping under the radiator in the front room, on my beige carpet.  The green stains didn't even match it!

Another girl wouldn't accept anywhere except the settee, so I covered it with bath towlels and sat with her.  I will say it was much better for my old back!  :-)

Hang on in there.

finger crossed for you here.
hope all goes well

fingers crossed here too :) x

any news yet ????

Posting for Impish: 

Update:  Lots of nesting last night, saw contractions.  But no pups yet.  Casie is resting comfortably on the couch at the moment. 

Thinking about calling the vet, to get these pups out.  She has shown signs all week of going into labour, but then not delivering any pups.  This is a large litter, and she is small, so just waiting for the vets office to open to give them a call and see what they say

I keep dropping in to check! fingers crossed it happens today and everything goes well. Good luck Jan and Kory.

hi we have pups due on mon 23rd so ur not the only one having a anxious. time. hope this reassures u a bit.

Update:  Casie went to the vets, they said she was starting to dialate, and that pups were coming soon.  Casie started to pant, last night, and we have been up all night.  Still no pups though, and it looks like things have calmed down again.  We all are just wanting the pups here!  Hurry Up Casie! 

Hi Kory - wow, tension ever mounting!

Update:  Casie was taken to hospital this morning to have an emergency c section.  She went into active labour about 4:30 this morning and tired.  When we got there, she was not having contractions anymore.  We wont know much for a bit. 

Everything crossed here for a good litter of healthy puppies for you

Just got word from the vets, and CASIE HAD TWO PUPS!!! 

We dont know colours or sexes, but she has two pups doing well, we get to pick them (pups and mom) up in about an hour!!! 

Congrats Mama Casie!!! 

YAY! glad they are doing well, brilliant news! phew, i've been waiting with baited breath all week, you must all be knackered!! just cher to go now :)

Great news Kory - best wishes to all the mums ;) and of course the 'new kids' too!
Teri

thats great news soooo glad to hear all is well :):) xx

Brilliant & once they are safely home photos will be needed ;-)

Excellent news.. congratulations :-)

Oh I cant wait to take photos, I got extra batteries for my camera just incase I need to replace them while busy snapping away! 

Called to arrange pick up of Casie and pups, and we have to wait until 3pm now!  (about another hour).  I cant wait to see them, find out what colours, and find out what sexes! 

Mom has a few names already in mind, she wants to call one Star, but I think she is swaying towards the name Mira as well (short for MIRACLE). 

YAY, so excited, but cant wait to get some sleep!

Oh congrats Kory , Jan and Casie, been out today so only just caught up on the news, hope mummy and pups are ok, i bet your sooo excited i cant wait to see piccies.I shall have to stay logged on now all night waiting for an up date! xx

We are  home and Cas is nursing the pups in her box.  She is a fantastic mom. 
I have a boy and a girl, think they are both stag reds, but ever so often when I look at the little girl, I think she may be a chocolate.  But Casie's breeder said I would have to work hard to get a chocolate (but I know that is not a given, sometimes you get surprises).  But I really dont care all are happy and healthy. 
I have been on pins and needles all day, and I cried when they brought the pups and Casie to me.  Cas is beautiful and the pups are so sweet.  A new mom always has such expression, a puppies are always adorable.
This took 3 tries to get, but it is more than worth the wait. 
We will get pics up as soon as we get some sleep, me and my sister have been up since yesterday morning, and are going on nothing but adrenilin.  Will let everyone know when the pics are up and running.
Thanks everyone for the support and encouragement you have given me over the last week or so.

Jan, and of course Casie  (Momma Cass)

So glad all is now peace and harmony in the Crespin household ... until Cher decides to pop!

Congratulations to Mama Cass (don't let her near chicken!).

Congratulations to all.. well done Cassie :-)

lol @ JG

Great news Jan - fingers crossed your little girl is a chocolate although I guess you really don't mind anyway.  Glad all's well with them and mum, which is the most important thing :)
