Noah holding the porker....White boy
Jinelle cuddling Blue boy.
Jetta feeding all five of her pups. They LOVE to eat! It seems so funny for her to be so white and all them to be black, but I guess that Diablo's genes are just that dominant. I guess he has to be dominant in something. She is usually the Alpha dog! She keeps her man in line!
This is Red Boy. He is currently 22 ounces.

This is White Boy. He is the biggest at 25.5 ounces.
This is Blue Boy. He is 21.5 ounces now. The smallest boy...for now.
This is blue girl. She is 24 ounces. She has gained the most weight from birth.
This is red girl. She is currently the smallest at 19.5 ounces.

Introducing our new puppies. This is our little girl. I gave them each a color to keep track of their weights. She is Blue Girl. The kids will give them names in a few weeks when they are easier to tell apart and have personalities

This is white boy.

this is red girl

And last but not least, this is red boy

Gaining weight

All five puppies are gaining weight. I have begun to weigh them twice a day, making sure they are growing. But by the looks of things, they all love to eat. Every time we venture back to see them, they are all latched on and eating away. For this, I am grateful. Time will tell how they all turn out, but we are hopeful they are all going to do great. They will be able to go to their new homes no earlier than March 15th, so perfect St. Patrick's Day puppies! Maybe I'll send them to their new homes with green ribbons around their necks or something festive.

Sad news

Last night, we noticed that one little pup was always away from the rest, not eating, and crying weird, almost like a baby. We kept an eye on it and it wasn't eating. We went to the store and got a puppy bottle and formula, but it still wouldn't eat. We even tried to feed it with a dropper, forcing it to eat, but nothing helped. We tried and tried, but we couldn't save this pup. The vet warned us that this may happen. It was definetly the runt, weighing almost half of what the biggest weighs. Hopefully she didn't suffer too much. So, now we are keeping a close watch on the others, weighing them often and making sure they are eating. This morning, all five others were latched on and eating a lot. We will keep you updated. I will tkae more pics and post later this afternoon.

The Puppies are here! Six little black puppies. They all have color on them already. There are three boys and three girls! Noah is excited, because that is the same as our family!
Ari wants to name the one that is completely in the pic Oreo. It has white on its chest and belly and paws!

Jetta is being a great mom! She doesn't mind the kids in looking at them. She is doing great as well.

They are here....

Tonight, Jetta started having her puppies. So far, there are four. She isn't done yet! So far, they are all black in color. One has white on its chin, belly, and paws. We haven't checked their sexes yet, but we will a little later. We will keep this updated. Probably tomorrow when she is all done, and when we know how many girls and how many boys. The kids are all super excited. Also, we will post pics tomorrow as well.

Jetta is expecting....we think!

This is Diablo. Well actually, "Diablo Lamborghini Stiber" is his AKC Registered name. He was born on May 19th, 2007. He is a pure-bred all black German Shepherd.


This is Jetta, "Jetta Volkswagen Stiber" as she is registered. She was born on June 30th, 2007. She is a pure-bred all white German Shepherd. She is one of the first puppies born to Audi and Quattro, our sister & mom's dogs.
They are very loving, and kid friendly. We believe Jetta is expecting her first litter later this month. Probably around the 25th of January. The reason we aren't sure is because, unlike humans, there is no way to test for pregnancy in dogs, until sheis a little further along. So, if she is, then we will be having a litter of pups soon. We hope to be able to keep you all updated on the progress of the litter and hopefully, when the puppoes all go to their new homes, we can keep in contact and everyone can see updates on the other pups.
One of Jetta's brother is a bed bug dog in Canada and another is a firehouse dog in Mexico. We also get to see her sister and brother, who live at another family members house, often, as well as her parents ALL THE TIME, as they live next door.
