Weekend Kids


When I came home from the national convention I put a bunch of sows into breeding, and now, I am starting to have those pups appear. I think about half have had their litters. EttaLotta had four,, all boars. Ethel had four- two boars, two sows; Lulu had four, but two were DOA,, huge pups- wish they had made it. Had I induced her, maybe I could have saved them. Yesterday we induced a sow named Eidelweiss. She has not been looking too good, belly not growing, been hypocalcemic twice- it was time to take action. Pups one and three had been dead a long long time. Pup number two came out depressed but alive, a little white boar. We are thinking of naming him Al for Al Franken. It's not a compliment. And then last night, Butterflyweed decided to give me four nice pups.
