Washing Cement for Puppies

It's super important to NOT have your puppy on any public property (think cement, grass or anywhere) until they have their last Parvo Vaccine at around 16 weeks or 4 months old.  Could be a bit longer depending upon if you are consistent with vet visits.  

If you have a shared cement space (living in apartments or condos), you can use this video tip to clean the cement.

In a large bucket squirt 3-4 squirts of dish soap and 1/3 cup of bleach and add hot water.  It will foam up.  Then pour small amounts on the cement and brush with a broom.  When finished with area, rinse several times to wash all bleach/soap solution off.

Coco is in labor

So Coco started panting and exhibiting  labor behavior at around 10:30 this morning getting in her birthing box and making a nest out of the blankets. 

It's a long process. Its 7pm right now and she goes from sleeping to restlessly walking around to getting in the birth bed to getting out 

She's just sort of all over the place and not sure what to do with yourself. 

I'm excited to see the puppies but I want her to also have a really easy time of it so we're just letting her do her thing and making sure she's eating and drinking along the way and getting herb out walking around. Just letting thelabor happen  naturally. She's really restless and just herself. her temperature is 99 and anything below hundred degrees means she will have puppies in the next 24 to 48 hours so hopefully by this time tomorrow she'll have all her puppies out and be resting comfortably. 

The next blog will be about the birth.
