Are you going to be the owner of Eden? I'm so excited for the Sauce puppies, would love to see them go to someone wonderful like you and M!!

We are!!!!!!

These babies, and Edi in particular, feel like the culmination of so much hoping and wishing (and hard work on the part of @intriga-hounds) and things falling into place over and over.

I have felt this feeling a few times in the past, but always to overcome great tragedy with grim odds. Finally, I get to feel it for something that is so wholly, completely good and wonderful. I am so, SO happy.

When puppies are born they're not able to regulate their own body temperature, so it's really easy for them to get too cold or to overheat. Snuggling with mom can help them stay warm but mom isn't always with them, and it doesn't help if they're overheating.

There are things we can do to help them stay at an optimal temperature, like using heat pads, heated pet mats, heat lamps, and increasing the room temperature to keep them warm, or opening windows, using a fan, using an air conditioner, or lowering the room temperature to keep them cool.

Ideally you want to provide them "zones" of varying temperature so they can use them as needed to regulate their body temperature appropriately. This can look like having a heating pad or heat lamp in one corner of the whelping box or placing a cold mat in one corner, or a set up like the whelping box this litter uses which has radiant under floor heating along all four edges of the box under the PVC pipe (which is used to help prevent puppies from getting squished between the wall and mom).

Having temperature zones is also good for momma dog too because she can easily get overheated by the temperatures puppies need to stay warm, so having an area she can lay where it's cooler can encourage her to spend more time in the box with the puppies.

As the puppies get older they're better able to regulate their own body temperature, so you don't need to worry as much about them after 2 weeks as you do during the first week, or as much after 4 weeks as after week 2. By the time they're 8 weeks old they're capable of enough of regulating their body temperature that as long as they're not exposed to extreme temperatures they should be fine.

How do you know if they're too warm, too cold, or just right though?

The puppy shrapnel test!

If the puppies are colder they'll cuddle more tightly together, when they're warmer they'll fall asleep spread further apart. If they're really warm they'll start panting, which you don't want to be seeing with your puppies in these earlier stages.

Being in a cuddle pile isn't necessarily a red flag, especially during the first two weeks. During the first two weeks if they're fussy in addition to being in a tight puppy huddle they're likely chilly. After two weeks if they're really clinging together they're likely a little cold

If they're completely spread apart and no one is cuddling up to anyone else they're probably a little too warm. I don't actually have pictures of this cause weather is fairly moderate to chilly right now but the the following image is close. The reason I'm not as concerned about the puppy distribution in the last image is because, even though they're pretty spread apart, most of them are either close to mom or close to the heated sides of the whelping box. If they were too hot they'd be avoiding those areas and you'd see more of them toward the center of the box, like that one little kidney bean, but with plenty of distance from each other.

What you want to see generally is a looser configuration of cuddling. It's okay if there's a couple that are off sleeping on their own, the concern is if all of them are sleeping solo. Here's some examples of puppies at a comfortable temperature

So there you go! Now you know, if you didn't already, some stuff about taking care of newborn puppies!

Call me asexual but Aziraphale wasn’t starving to kiss Crowley, he was starving for a life together. He was starving for drinking and dancing and loving each other without boundaries. He was starving for soft, meaningful kisses that mean love, for trying the beautiful, confusing things that humans do to feel closer.

Aziraphale’s expression after the kiss says “I didn’t want that.” He looks appalled. Crowley turned a gesture meant to be beautiful into something broken and desperate. He turned their relationship into something broken and desperate.

He didn’t want the kiss, he didn’t want another, he wanted Crowley to take it back so they could do it again but Right.

Today at Long John Silvers I accidentally told the wrong person that I want to marry them but they said yes??? And I can’t even actually afford to marry them because my Nissan got impounded and it’s this whole thing that the person i ACTUALLY meant to propose to knew all about and was very understanding of, but now I feel rude taking it back. They probably don’t want to be with a felon who hides guns in their dishwasher anyway but it just kind of feels rude to take such a magical moment away from someone you know? Anyway I love your tarot decks (I bought one of the mysterious ones with the blue dots) but it was unfortunately in my Nissan the night I got caught urinating in Publix and the poor thing got shoved in some police car jail. I can’t afford the new one because I needed to post bail again but I’m sure it’s lovely! I’m going to the St Johns cathedral tomorrow where they’ll bless your animals for FREE and I’m going to show my favorite priest (whose name starts with an x???) your website because after his wife left him he got really into betting on gym class races at the local YMCA and I think he needs a new hobby.

please stop taking life advice from my tarot cards I'm worried about you and your impounded Nissan

Clone wars AU where the chips never got activated. In the aftermath of Palpatine’s death, the troopers are so horrified by the thought of Order 66 that they go hole up in Kamino. The Jedi let them do it for a few weeks while they’re unfortunately too busy cleaning up the mess, but then they just,,,,, camp outside their front door. For months. The clones will not outstubborn them this time, no sir. They brought umbrellas, food, books, and lots and lots of tea. So much tea. Soon they’re having little mini festival days waiting for the clones to come out already. It is very confusing for the vode.

On one hand, order 66. Chips. Horror. Their life is even more of a lie, they don't want to hurt the jedi, they're ashamed of essentially being a Trojan horse to the Jedi.

On the other hand, apparently the jedi are all idiots who camp out in the ever pouring rain and are they building a mini temple on our front porch??????
