FINALLY......BABIES!!!! MY FIRST GOOD LITTER!! DIAL UP WARNING FOR SURE!

JohnLokken Aug 07, 2004 04:57 PM

DAD

MOM

Mom is a Ronne 2000 "Lucy" Pastel and the father is a 2000 Church line pastel. She had 21 healthy babies and two slugs. She did great for her first litter!! So, all the babies are het for Anery. I made the mistake of trying to "Warm her up" with my Anery so I could throw my Ghost in with her when I got him. Well, I caught the other end of Mike's experience. The Anery, "Henry", got her for sure and had a nice sperm plug so no other males could get thier "love" close to her. I wasG FOR SURE! : slightly disappointed that Henry got her instead of Mr. Hershey. But, I am not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. These babies are killer. Most appear to be pastel. They all hold a certain amount of pink. Some more than others. I will be able to get a better look at them in a few days. So, here they are. ENJOY!! I know I am!!
John

A few friends know about how important this healthy litter was for me. Last year I had a female drop 7 premature babies. It really floored me. I saw all of them die. Not a good thing at all. I'm a big guy.........But, I have a heart of marshmallow. LOL! It wrecked me for a while. I talked with the wife and basically said, “If this litter is bad. I'm done.” I will only keep a few as pets (Which was my original intention) and sell the rest off as breeders. I feel very blessed with this healthy litter. (The fact that there are some screamers in here doesn't hurt as well. LOL! Finally, I get pick of the littler. LOL!)
I have always had respect for what breeders go through. I have even more now. There are ups and downs.........I know this. But, the miracle of life was a blessed site to see. I actually saw one baby take it's first breath. HOW COOL IS THAT!!??
Anyway, enough of my sob story. LOL!
Have a good one.

I shouldn't let a photo hosting site resize my pics. They don't look as crisp and clean as they should. I just have to start re-sizing them myself.

Those pictures are fantastic & the babies look AWESOME!
I know you're having a ball playing with them no matter who the father is
Nothing like having new babies to play with

now that you're a proud "grandpa" we'll expect to see many more!!! Make sure to take a bunch when they shed. You have some awesome babies in that litter and it will be fun to see them develop.
