4 week old puppies ...

[bulldogs4me]

I have some friends who are very very dear to me, they are actually the breeder I got Diesel & Molly from, but they are going to Nationals ... so happy and proud for them! and I get to watch their litter of puppies while they are gone ... I'm super excited and must admit a little nervous too! It has been forever since I've been around puppies and have only been around bulldog puppies when I've stopped by to visit with my friends, so [MENTION=2]desertskybulldogs[/MENTION] [MENTION=2071]Davidh[/MENTION] [MENTION=1714]Sherry[/MENTION] and anyone else who has good bulldog puppy knowledge, what should I expect and any advice as to preparing my home for these babies. I will have momma and the 3 puppies plus they will pack all the other foods etc I will need while they are here but it never hurts to be well prepared. so any advice you can give will be very much appreciated!!! I want them to be able to go to Nationals and just focus on the show and not have to worry at all about the babies.

Nationals in Philadelphia is from Thursday through Sunday, actually this weekend and televised on Thanksgiving, Bulldog Nationals is I believe the following week and that run's all week. Which one are they going too?
how many pups are there?

don't overfeed, fresh water often, watch them eat so they don't choke. If your breeder is weening, she'll want them to stay off mom's teats. don't over play, they need much rest and sleep. Keep them clean, front and back. it's time for the first worming.
keep them warm
always , always keep an eye on them. puppy proof your house where ever you keep them.

I think that's it

[MENTION=1714]Sherry[/MENTION] - she said they are leaving Friday and would return on the 25th, I was so excited about the puppies I forgot to ask what Nationals LOL dang I'm not a very good friend

So I'm guessing since they need lots of rest I'm not gonna get to snuggle with them? I've helped do the cleaning when I've been there visiting and they had pups if I saw one go I would grab the tissue and wipe the pup so they didn't get it all over so that part I'm good with, I can keep the house warm for them and mom is still feeding but they are starting on solid foods as well and I'm sure I will not be able to keep my eyes off of them so will be completely focused on them the whole time.

[MENTION=1714]Sherry[/MENTION] pretty much hit it, so enjoy the pups and get plenty of paper towels and puppy pads. hehehe I don't call them poopers for nothing.

 

[bulldogs4me]

ok so lets see if I have this ... many snuggles - many cuddles -but don't over play, let them rest & sleep - lots of fresh water - not too much food - watch them when eating so they don't choke - lots of paper towels - lots of puppy pads - they are bringing all the blankets and things they use daily ... should I use unscented wipes to clean their booties? thank you [MENTION=1714]Sherry[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2071]Davidh[/MENTION] for, giving me advice I really appreciate it! The puppies will be here on Friday about noon. Oh Sherry they are going to the Bulldog Nationals can't wait to hear how they do. Davidh it's funny that you call them poopers because I've always called my dogs poopies instead of puppies LOL
