Bella x Hudson Puppies Day 53 Pre Parturition


I understand there is viewing issues via email please view online  http://regalgoldens.blogspot.com/



Heading into the home stretch!
Bella resting comfortably with only 10 days to go!
I can’t imagine where the week went. Time is flying by so fast now and before you know it, Bella will have had her beautiful babies!

This past week was nice and dry for a change, so Bella spent many hours outdoors soaking up the sun-mostly rolling on her back as you can see. It’s perhaps not the most flattering picture, but as least she is getting her vitamin D, which is so important to both Bella and her pups.

Bella’s abdominal area continues to expand measuring 34 inches or 86 cm. She is less interested in food as her stomach doesn’t have as much room as usual, so we feed her smaller meals more frequently throughout the day. Right now her favorite snack is a scrambled egg added to her regular food and supplements.

As you can see, Bella is very happy. Her pregnancy hasn’t slowed her down too much yet however she is less exuberant and enjoys quiet time, being more content to chew on a Nylabone than frolicking with the younger Golden’s.

This week Bella has begun to search out a birthplace for her puppies. She is convinced the perfect spot is under the deck in the corner. We however, have a much more comfortable and clean spot so we will be introducing it to her daily and persuading her how wonderful it is.


At this stage, the puppies have a full coat of hair and can be felt moving around in her tummy. As I mentioned previously, Bella loves her belly rubbed so it is easy to detect movement of the little ones. It seems like they are anxious to get out into the world and meet their forever families!

A Big Week for Dutch and Fiona's Puppies!

Two weeks old today! Fiona's puppies are now two weeks old, and what an exciting stage this is! Every day brings new changes as the puppies grow stronger, more aware, and even more adorable (if that’s possible). At this age, the biggest milestone is that their eyes are now open! Though their vision is still a bit blurry, they’re beginning to see the world for the first time — mostly shapes, light, and movement. Over the next week, their eyesight will continue to sharpen, and they’ll start recognizing their littermates, their mom, and of course, us humans. The puppies are also becoming more mobile. Their wobbly little legs are gaining strength as they start to scoot, crawl, and even attempt to stand. It’s amazing to watch how quickly they go from tiny, sleepy newborns to curious explorers. Fiona is doing a wonderful job keeping everyone clean, warm, and fed. Although she doesn't have the milk supply we hoped for, we are supplementing by bottle feeding at least once daily.  The p...

Dutch and Fiona’s Puppies – One Week Old Today!

Happy One Week Birthday!   Fiona’s journey into motherhood has been nothing short of remarkable. After a long and exhausting  14-hour labour , she safely delivered  12 beautiful puppies . As the final hours stretched on, both Fiona and I were completely spent. Sadly, the last few pups became our little angels due to the extended delivery time. Despite every effort — providing oxygen and stimulation — we were unable to revive them. As heartbreaking as that was, we are deeply grateful to have  nine strong, healthy puppies  now thriving under Fiona’s care. This first week has brought its share of challenges. Fiona developed  metritis , a uterine infection likely caused by the strain of her prolonged labour. She has been on antibiotics and is recovering well, but the infection initially impacted her milk production. To ensure the pups received the nutrition they needed, we began  bottle feeding every 2–3 hours around the clock . Thankfully, the puppies ada...
