OMG Puppy Nightmare!!!

So ALLLLLlll night long bouts of crying and whining and mom isnt going in the box to nurse. So I get up and three puppies are out of the box and the rest are complaining. So I say the heck with it and lift ther remaining puppies out onto moms bed (mind you they are only three weeks) and try to go back to bed figuring Ill clean up in the morning. *sigh* mom starts fuddleling around and Jim gets up. DOES NOBODY SLEEP ANYMORE????? Next thing I know the huge whelping box is standing on end in the middle of the kitchen and I am complaining and we are spreading newspaers alllllllll over the laundry room floor. Closing off the doggie door so no puppies fall out. Mommy keeps stepping on them in her frustration (and mine) Its now close to 4 am. Finally sleeeeeeep. But puppies get OUT of baby gate spaces and we have to drag the MACAW CAGE divider out there as a new "gate" held in place by the refigerator. GAH! NOW can we sleep?? So next morning its time to get on CL and finds us another kennel. Yay, find one two hours away 12X8X6 tall in Akron....Road Trip!! Now everybody is cozy in comfy sof blankies outside with mommy and plenty of room to snuggle and whatever and sleeeeeeeep. I hate to put them out so soon, but just no room for them all to not be in each others way. At least with the new kennel they are on clean concrete with rubber mats and a house and soft bed and mommy. Oh and did I mention they chowed down on a plate of soaked puppy kibble and milk replacer today ALREADY!!! Its crazy!

Oh its just crazy. Mom tromps on them and they start screaming and she looks down like "whats your problem" but If I pick up and hold the screaming baby she gets all worried about it now,lol. Bad mommy. For the most part she is good but teeth are coming in and she is sometimes hesitant to lay down for them. I dont blame her.

Wow these pups sound very entertaining! What a night you had! :P

I know what you mean about the mom stepping on babies, with the bulldog pups we had to separate them and schedule feedings with mom, until they were big enough to stay with her...

Have fun on your roadtrip! :P

I don't even want to think what that would be like and luckily never have to!!!

I hope you get some sleep tonight. The difference in my mood with a good night sleep behind me is remarkable.

My friend had the same problem with her mastiff bitch. She got really cranky after a while of no sleep and then teaching grade three in the day! LOL
