Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Puppy Pictures!
I just delivered these on Sunday night / Saturday morning. Molly (mom-sable merle Shetland sheepdog) was NOT having an easy time with her first litter. She was having "false starts" in delivery for 5-6 days before finally having them. Molly is one of our puppies from 5 years ago, and owned by a nice minister lady in town. Unfortunately she fell off a horse and broke some ribs and vertebrae or something, so my mom was bitch-sitting and I was on-call. Few, if any, would have made it without an assisted delivery. Ever seen someone give mouth-to-snout resuscitation to a puppy covered in afterbirth? lol There were 2.5 total: 2 tri-colors, 2 sable merles, 2 blue merles and one mahogany.
Here's 6 of the 7 pups (all survived, the last one just decided to take her sweet time)
Here's Molly with 4 of them on day 2. Molly doesn't have enough functioning "faucets" for all of them to eat at once, so we have to rotate.
...and I guess if you can't find a faucet, a finger will just have to do:
Now how many human moms are this dedicated to cleanliness? (She's licking their butts)
All together now: AWWWWWW!!!

Wow. Beautiful pups! And your story only confirmed my belief that you're a very special person, Paul. Its nice when you can be there to help and its even nicer making it a point to be there should help be needed.
I've never had to do mouth to snout for any puppies, thank god, but I once did chest compressions on a really nice looking chick.

Technically, the pups don't belong to us and I'm not sure how many the owner has spoken for. I know the stud owner wants pick of the litter, and I believe one of her friends wants the mahogany male. Considering that my mom has been sleeping on the concrete floor of her shed/kennel for almost 2 weeks now (and will have to continue to do so for a while) the owner has offerred her a pup or two. The owner was also quite impressed at how much I knew about the whole process, and very appreciative of my help and offerred me one too--especially considering how much I have spent on gas alone making the 90 mile round trip (6 so far) just so that I can kick my mom out of the shed and make her go sleep in her BED for a few hours... lol. Anyway, my mom's the "sheltie nut" and told me which one "I" would be keeping.

Aw, those are awesome Marcia! (it took me a second to realize that was TWO of them in the second photo! lol)
Before we got our first sheltie, we had the breed we wanted narrowed down to either shelties or mini shnauzies based on recommendations by a vet friend of ours.

Perhaps, but I think this is more indicative of being a good guy.
Cute pups.
