Our Chessie is named after the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel that is located in Cape Charles, VA. The purpose of the bridge was to replace ferry boats that started operating in 1964. Some fun facts include: construction starting in 1960, Total Length being 92,848′, and it having a clearance below 40′.
Today the puppies had a visitor that they haven’t seen since the day that they were born. One of their co-breeder came to visit for a few hours this evening. Each of the puppies had individual puppy cuddle time with her while she sat just outside of the box. Tipsy was very happy to show off her puppies to her while she was here.
These pups are pretty active, often moving about the whelping box and doing laps under the pig rails. I wanted to talk a bit about our pig rails and why we use them. Every breeder has a choice on if they use them or not. We personally use them as a safety precaution and peace of mind. Without them, there is always the risk of the mom laying up against the wall of the box and laying on a puppy. This prevents that from happening by allowing for a safe gap where the puppies can sleep and crawl.
We used thyme as our scent for ESI today. We had a good mix of reactions as there was one neutral, three positive, and two negative reactions. Seven, Goldie, and Sky were big fans of ESI this morning!
