Litter 2
With Harley and Stormy's help I hope to answer some genetic questions about their father Mathew, whose coat is soft as clouds unlike his rex children who have great volume and wave but not the feather softness of there father.
They both carry Blue, Dumbo, Rex, and carry either Siamese or Albino from there father. Meaning this litter could end up:
Dumbo or top eared
Rex, Double Rex, or smooth Coated
Blue, Black, Albino, Siamese, or Himalayan
The Litter is scheduled for birth in January and adoption in February.
Third Trimester Update! - January 9th, 2022
She is progressing swimmingly and getting very big! Her sister Ivy is obsessed with taking care of her and were starting to see the long stretched out naps we expect at this point in the pregnancy. Her nipples are showing more and shes' nesting so we're crossing our fingers for a quick and easy delivery soon!
BEANS ARE BORN!
After staying up overnight with mom for three nights (as I like to do with new moms to make sure everything goes smoothly) on day 23 at 2 pm I got up to check on her and she was sitting on Three beans! Still in labor, I kept a close eye and gave her words of encouragement! We thought she was done at ELEVEN beans and gave her time to rest and bond before weighing. At six I came back to do the health check and weighing and found FOUR MORE BEANS. She had 15 beans just like her mama!
After 24 hours on the second weigh we had 14 (there was one bean who was straggling and passed in the night as expected) beans who TRIPPLED in weight.
As I type this mom is doing great and beans are squeaky and full of milk. Grandpa Matt is tucked right next to me without a clue that he is now officially an in-house grandpa!
