I never really shared a lot of information of Uma's arrival and c-section, but my friend Jen came with us to the c-section and she wrote about it in her blog. Thanks Jen--you are the best! And Jen, I was so glad you were there! You can read about it by going to her Bully Beat.
Uma is now 3 days old and she seems to be doing fine, great actually. Growing and gaining weight. I'm still unclear on Uma's coloring. At first I thought she was a brindle but now am thinking she may be a dark red with black tips on the end of her hair (we call it smut). Why "smut" I have no idea, but anyway, in a few more days I should be able to tell more. She has the most beautiful markings and I am SO in love with her already! Our little Uma.
Now the big kids are doing fantastic. I had to change up their pen a little bit yesterday (bigger space). I like to be in there with them when its gruel time so I can make sure everyone is eating and try to get them to use the potty pad. Now that is a challenge! hahaha Gotta be quick to catch them in the act and get them to the pad. Eventually they will figure it out. And the best part, I love it when they start crawling up into my lap! They are getting to that irresistibly cute age.
I got an idea for their drinking water from my friend Sandy and Kristie. They use the bottle type things that you use with gerbils/hamsters/etc., only bigger. So we set it up to see if we have any success with it, and they occasionally (by accident I think) drink from it. :-) Better than the bowls that constantly spill. Plus, can be a lifelong good way for them to drink when crated. We'll see if it works.
LOVE the water bottle idea! Look at that cutie drinking from it!! And thank YOU for inviting me to the c-section...it was very cool.
