[Tiramisu]

Congratulations! Lucky you - All girls and day puppies!

[Marilyn]

Awwww, Janet, sooo happy for you!!!! And, yes, happy they were born during the day!!! :congrats: :bigbday: :coolpics:

[Janet]

Yes, they were born during the day...but I'd been up with her since 11:00 PM the night before. I knew she was in stage 1 labor and all she wanted to do was walk the hallway, back and forth every 15-20 minutes. So I didn't get much sleep at all.

I tried find a sub for the bus, but we only had a couple and they couldn't drive. So, I kept Ricky home from school and he played mid-wife. I left at 4 minutes till 7 AM and the first one was born at 7:01 AM. I was only gone 90 minutes so I got to see the last two be born. His Dad was here, but he didn't have a clue, because he didn't see any of the other litters born. I'm so happy and proud Ricky paid attention and had the confidence to stay and help Gidget.

[Marilyn]

Oh, my, I hadn't thought that you might have been up all night with her. So glad that Ricky could help!! This is why I could never breed. I'd have to leave for work just as the excitement starts.

They are so beautiful.... and 4 little girls. How precious.

[judy]

Rick is such a good kid!

[DianaB]

I figured that you had found a sub for your bus route but it sounds like Ricky did a good job keeping an eye on Gidget until you got back home. I'm so glad that everything went so well!!!

[Janet]

Thanks all. I am so proud of him. His dad kept asking him..."should we cut the cord" and Ricky said "dad, we need to give her a chance, mom had to do it all last time." So my son did good!!! She did do the cords herself, but by the time I got home, she was exhausted and let me do the last two. It really seemded like she was grateful, bless her heart. She's being a great Mom.

[katcarasella]

Oh, they're cute as buttons, I love puppies, well who doesn't? Congrats for a job well done Gidget.

[janc]

Oh, you lucky girl! I envy you your little puppies. Hope you get some sleep!

[Janet]

This may be graphic for some, but here is a link.

I've not done a video here, but thought you all might like to see a future agility Yorkie...LOL. Check out the leg movement of this baby girl still in the sack.

[katcarasella]

Janet, I checked out your website. I had no idea the pups were for sale! DUH!!
How far are you from Chicago? I've been looking for a reliable breeder in the area. It is a small world after all. Talk to you soon!!!!

[Marilyn]

Janet, don't know what to say about the video. Yes, a little graphic for me. I was okay until Gidget started licking. Then you lost me. :fainted:

[Janet]

Marilyn I'm so sorry!! That's why I posted a link and said it was graphic and that she was still in the sack. She sure was a mover though! She may make it to agility training...LOLOL

[Marilyn]

Hey, you posted the warning. And I've been there helping pull a calf before which is a pretty gross experience. So don't feel bad.

She did look like a strong little girl.

[judy]

HOOHOO! That little leg is kicking away! She's a feisty baby.

Great video! Thanks, Janet.

[AngieDoogles]

I didn't watch the video cause I was too scared, but the pictures are so adorable!! Congrats Janet! You must be so proud and happy to have four little girls to love and watch grow! They are gorgeous.

[Tink]

Awwwwwwwww I still just can't get over how tiny your pups are!
Very cute but OH my... less than 5 oz just blows me away.

[Janet]

Today, all but one, broke the 5 oz mark. They are doing great.

Glad to see you here Angie, you're missed! It's okay you didn't check the video out. Somethings are a little harder to watch for some than others. I will tell you all you see is the puppy in the sack moving it's front let and then right at the end, Gidget is getting ready to break open the sack.

[lynne b]

You are so lucky to have such beautiful babies. I cant wait to see them as they grow. Congrat's

[Janet]

Did you check out the video Lynne?

[Tink]

Janet, I'm glad they're doing well. It's SO fun to see them grow and change... Thanks for sharing that with us.

[Janet]

Well, I'm sure I'll be posting more of them, but I need to remember this isn't YT.

[DianaB]

It looks like to me that that little baby was born with her running shoes on!!! :dog: She may be the one to give you lots of exercise!!! Looks like Gidget was doing a good job with her too.

[Janet]

She did Diana. She did good with her last litter, but she was so much better with this one. She is being a really great mom.

[Janet]

Today the babies are two weeks old so we took some pictures and trimmed those long nails. Only one more to open her eyes. They are weighing 10.9, 9.9, 11.3, 11.1 ounces

[Janet]

My son already has his favorite...

[Daisynkodimom]

AWE Janet they are so Pretty..

[Tink]

Oh how sweet!
Thanks for keeping us updated. You know we all adore puppies!

[janc]

They are so darling, Janet! Just love little Yorkie puppies.

[Chandra Amaya]

Again, Janet wants to make me a yorkie lover. :eek: They are just too cute, janet!

[DianaB]

Janet, I just love the puppy pictures that you post!!!!! And the one snuggled up against your son......it's no wonder that she's his favorite!!!!! Cute, cute, cute!!!!!!

[Marilyn]

Awwww, Janet, they are precious. We can post yorkie stuff on here, don't worry that it's not YT. Our yorkies are part of our lives and we are sharing our lives on here. Thing is, we can discuss all aspects of our lives, not just the yorkie parts.

Keep the pictures coming!!! I like the tiny one.

[Faith]

congrats on the babies.They are precious.They were born on my daughter's birthday,lol.
My Trixie had one baby female on Jan.29th.I am keeping her and naming her Star.

[Gina]

Awww Janet they are all so beautiful. :)

[AngieDoogles]

Aww Janet! They are ADORABLE! You are making me want another. LOL! I love the background you used. Very cute. Oh, and the pic of your son with the puppy curled up next to him is priceless! :)

[Janet]

Thank you all. The last one opened her eyes. They all look so different with eyes wide open..lol. Won't be long now and they'll be everywhere...I can't wait!!!

[Tink]

I find their little ears SO adorable!
My pups ears all lay flat like Lab and Poodle ears do, so to see them standing out like that is just so different and cute!

[Forgivenmom5]

Janet they are adorable!!!!!!! I would love to come and just hold them.

[rivermom]

Janet - the babies are just sweet as ever.

[Janet]

For some reason I had a heck of time resizing the pictures to fit, so I hope it works alright.

Well I don't know what happened. I've resized pics the same way forever and for some reason it's not doing what I want.

[Janet]

Okay, I'm trying one more time and this is it.

[lynne b]

the girls look so sweet. just makes me smile:)

[Marilyn]

Janet, they are soooo precious!!!! Hubby is over on his computer looking at cars and I'm on here looking at your puppies. The puppies are much cuter!!

[Tink]

Aren't they precious!
It just blows me away how tiny and sweet they are.

Thanks for sharing!

[Janet]

Thanks everyone...they sure are precious! I'm enjoying every minute....so far...LOL

[DianaB]

They are adorable!!! I always love to see your puppies!!!! I had been wondering when you were going to post pictures again!!! Thanks!!!

[judy]

They're so cute and sweet, Janet! How's Gidget?

[Janet]

Here are my little girls!!! They will be 6 weeks old on Wednesday, but I couldn't wait to share. They are just so cute and fun to play with!!:)

The are weighing 24.3 ozs, 21.7 ozs, 24.5 ozs and 24.2 ozs

[HeatherMaran]

Oh they are so cute! Thanks for giving me puppy fever again!:p

[judy]

They're -perfect! Four little beauties, and so healthy looking.

[Tink]

Janet, they're adorable!
How precious!

[pope1982]

:eek: Take in some puppy breath for me. Don't forget to squish on those fat little pink bellies either :thumbup:

[yorkiemalt]

aww...look at those precious little babies! :D

[Janet]

Thanks everyone. We are having such a great time with them. They are so funny to watch and play with. I love them all, but I do have to say that the second one is my favorite. She comes running the minute she hears my voice. I would LOVE to keep her, but 5 is just too many....I think.

[silkypup]

they are absolutely adorable! i think i ended up on a good site :D

[Marilyn]

Janet, they are getting cuter and cuter!!! Reminds me of Zoe when she was a baby. She was 7 weeks and 19 oz. when we got her. Don't freak out about her age. We didn't know any better and her breeder had two litters at once, 12 puppies and she had two tiny's in the mix. She was going to have to separate them to protect them from the others so we brought Zoe home. She loves yorkies and has 12 dogs of her own.

I showed your puppies to Rex and he just shakes his head. He's afraid you will give me puppy fever, too.

[Janet]

You have found a wonderful site...glad you're here!!!

[Janet]

I would never freak out with you Marilyn. I, too, didn't know any better and we brought one home at 8 weeks. I thought I had done all the research, but obviously didn't do enough at the time. I didn't even know there were Yorkie forums when I got my first Yorkie.

[DianaB]

Your "girls" are so cute, Janet!!!! It's hard to believe that they're already 6 weeks old!!! They grow up too fast!!! You could post pictures every day and I wouldn't get tired of them.

I'm so glad Marilyn and Janet, that your puppies were alright coming home at such an early age. I certainly wouldn't have known any better if I'd have found one that young either. I knew some of the questions to ask when I talked to a breeder but they all went out the window when I saw the puppies. I was lucky because I think that I had a really good breeder. I have no complaints.

I did finally get my husband to say that I could have another yorkie, but........by the tone of his voice I know that he didn't mean it so I'm still going to wait. If I did get one with him feeling the way he does I wouldn't enjoy it as much.

[Marilyn]

I have enough trouble keeping two looking nice and giving them the attention they demand. Zoe is sooo needy. When I was at home working Saturday she kept coming up and barking at me wanting to play. When I try to leave in the morning she jumps and jumps at me wanting to be picked up just like a little child. She either wants me to stay or wants to go along. I'm not sure which.
She's spoiled, but she's so sweet I just can't help it. We can spoil our dogs. We know better than spoiling our children like this.

Janet, I don't know how you do it with 4, and from your pics, they all look beautiful with long coats. Zoe's coat is long, but Chase's is a cross between a yorkie and a schnouser (sp?) cut, medium on his head and skirt, short on his back. It's really cute on him. I'll have to post pics after he's groomed.

[Janet]

Here are the girls at 7 weeks old. Can't believe how the time has flown by...

[Daisynkodimom]

That are adorable Janet!

[Janet]

Thanks Lori...it was really hard taking pictures of them this time. They just want to play and kiss and just go crazy. The girls are so much fun at this age.

[Tink]

Awwwwwww they are so cute!

[katcarasella]

Oh my gosh, they are so precious. Please keep us updated with pics, I look forward to seeing them.

[Marilyn]

Awww, Janet, one of them looks like a tiny!!!! How precious they are!!! You are so fortunate to have 4 girls!!

[Janet]

I should have put their weights in...they are all so close.

Here are the weights in same order as the pictures.
32.5 ounces
31.4 ounces
31.6 ounces
31.4 ounces

[Tink]

OMG those weights just blow me away. LOL
My Labradoodle pups are at least that size at birth.

[Forgivenmom5]

They are so cute Janet. I don't see how you do it--I would want to keep them all.

[judy]

I want #2. They're all precious, but she has a look in her eyes I really would love.

You're a great (skinny) breeder Janet! They look so healthy and happy.

[DianaB]

The expression on her face in the second picture is so cute!! Janet, your puppies are always so cute!! Makes me wish that I could have one! Hubby finally told me that I could get another one but his tone said otherwise. :(

[AngieDoogles]

#2 is my favorite as well, but they are all adorable little cuties! Janet, I wanna come stay with you and help you raise puppies! LOL

[Emmsmom]

If I lived closer I would be paying you a visit. They are simply adorable!!:) I would love to have another one. I am sold on the idea I just need to get my husband to come around LOL

[Janet]

Here are the girls at 9 weeks old (on 3/26/08). They are weighing....

2 lbs 7 ozs
2 lbs 10 ozs
2 lbs 11 ozs
2 lbs 11 ozs

We are thinking of keeping the 3rd one, but we're just not sure yet.

The 2nd one has a thinner coat, but she looks just like her mother did as a puppy and now Gidget has a beautiful coat that never tangles.

[Tink]

Janet, I'm so glad they're doing so well for you!
They are as always, just adorable!

Yes, I'm on YT. I go by Yorkie3 there. I do have pictures posted in the nursery there and my website is in my signature.

[Gina]

[donna1990]

Thanks, it is good to be back when I can figure out how to work this site. I am on YorkieTalk a lot and an familiar with it more. ;)

[Janet]

Oh what a sweetie you have!!! I have 3 females, 1 male and 4 puppies(yorkies). I also have a Golden Retriever and I'm thinking of keeping one of the puppies and purchasing a male.

[AngieDoogles]

Wow Janet, they are adorable--as always! I love how different 3 and 4 look. Three still has a lot of dark and 4 looks like she's getting her lighter hair already. Both are very cute!

[AngieDoogles]

Thanks, it is good to be back when I can figure out how to work this site. I am on YorkieTalk a lot and an familiar with it more. ;)

She's such a cutie! She looks like JUST like my friend's new yorkie. They could be twins! LOL

[judy]

Dear God! How cute can you get? They're getting to look like tiny dogs instead of babies.

I like them all.....
