Hey It's Me Izzie Bizzie!
I'm feeling much better now that I have had a day with my babies and settling into the whelping box with them. I'm still tired of course but I'm told that's because I have six big hungry babies to feed. I was sooooo tired last night and I am so grateful that the mommins' were there to help me with the babies. It's hard being a new mommy and having help at times really makes me feel more confident that I'm going to do the best job at being a mommy! The mommins' say I'm doing great but I just want to make sure that my precious babies are cared for perfectly. It's been a nice quiet day with one of the mommins' taking turns to hanging out with me in my own special whelping room and the other spending time with the rest of the pack so they don't feel to sad about not seeing me.
Mommins Samantha took a cute video of me and the babies earlier so I am going to have Lexie post it since she is good with things like that. Okay I better go tend to my little snuggle bunnies, byeeeeeee xoxox
Hey it's Lexie here, I have posted the video of Izzie and Charlie's puppies at one day old, it is sooooooo cute!
This is the life and times of the Brodie, Lexie, Montie, Izzie and Charlie. Check the blog daily for stories about the fun and boring antics we English Springer spaniels have!

Izzie Gives Birth... Video... (If you're squeamish don't watch)
Hey It's Lexie here, I just wanted to post a video the Mommins' took yesterday of Izzie giving birth to puppy number 5 now known as Sammie. It's so wonderful to see these little babies coming into the world but if you're not into blood and stuff you probably don't want to watch it even though it isn't traumatic at all. By the time Sammie got here the birth canal was already very lubricated and relaxed so as you can see she just pops right out! Izzie is doing great, she's a natural mom and all the babies are happy and healthy!
Anyway I hope you enjoy seeing the wonder of life...

The Puppies Are Here - All Six Of Them!!!
Hello, It's Brodie here, it's been such an exciting time over the last 24 hours! Izzie gave birth to 6 beautiful babies. Four girls and 2 boys! I am so happy that they are all big, beautiful and healthy. I know the Mommins' said that the first 48 hours is crucial for their survival but I am just happy that there entrance into the world was a successful one.
Over to the proud Dad Charlie! Hey Brodie thanks, boy was I anxious, I think I'll sleep for a week after worrying about Izzie and the puppies all day today but hey that's what new dad's do I guess. They were all big babies, they say the usual size for a springer puppy is 9-14 ounces... well let me tell you my kids blew that outta the water! Three of them weighed in at 16 ounces, one at 15.5 ounces and two and 14 ounces! Well judging by the size of Izzie at the end of her pregnancy we are not surprised!
So in order here are the gang...
First was a 16oz boy at 10.50am, Mommins Rachel named him Charger for the San Diego Chargers, she figured the boys should have football names, which is fully agree with plus it seemed fitting since he was first to come charging on out of there!
Second she had a 14oz girl at 11.47am, Mommins Samantha named her Lady since she was the first lady, and a cute little thing too.
Third there was a 14oz girl at 11.59am, I named her Belle after Izzie since Izzie full name is Isabella.
Fourth she had a 15.5oz boy at 12.26pm, Mommins Rachel following the football theme named him Saint after the New Orleans Saints, well they did just win the Superbowl so we went with a winning name!
Fifth was a 16oz girl at 12.51pm, Mommins Rachel for some reason instantly said we should call her Sammie after Mommins Samantha, I don't know her personalilty much yet since she is not even a day old at the momment but I'm thinking Mommins Rachel has some inside information that she is going to be spunky or something, haha!
Finally the Sixth was a 16oz girl at 1.10pm, the last pup was the only one to come out feet first the rest were head first. We all came up with the name Bonnie because her coloring looked a little different and very pretty.
Over to you Izzie
Hey Folks, well you are probably wondering about the puppies coloring and marking well I have the info for you...at the moment it's hard to say the final coloring each of them will be. They all initially look to be black and white but when the light shines on a few of them there seems to be the potential to have the rare, double recessive sable color that Charlie has but it doesn't show up until later so we'll just have to wait and see. Also there could be tri-colors that have tan points (like me except with black instead of the liver I have) but that might show up later too. Regardless of the color they end up they are gorgeous and have 100% perfect markings. All of the top show English Springer spaniels have to a full white symmetrical blaze on the face, a white collar and a full color saddle. So white markings on the back or butt are apparently less desirable but I always get voted most handsome in the house so I have no idea where that nonsense comes from! Anyways Izzie and Charlie's babies all have these perfect markings so that's a good thing even though we all agree we are happy as long as they are healthy... they could be tartan for all we care ;0)
Ok time for some sleep, it's been a crazy day!

Still Waiting...
Hey girls & guys, it's me Charlie. Well Izzie Bizzie still hasn't delivered the babies yet and we are all getting so excited, we just want to see them now! Izzie doesn't seem too bothered though, she's just been relaxing and sleeping. I think her big belly full of puppies is making her tired.
Mommins Samantha is excited to see the color of the babies and spent forever researching our pedigrees and genetics stuff trying to guess what's going to pop out! I think we'll just have to wait and see.
Until this week mommins Rachel was doing some work for a friend and stopping by to check in us every few hours but now she is home all the time so she can be there to help Izzie when she starts delivering the pups. That means I have a constant cuddle buddy, I sure love to cuddle with the mommins'. Not only that I get to play outside all day with her
too, yippee!!!
I'll let everyone know when the cute, fuzzy babes arrive, stay tuned it won't be long! Until then all I can do is wait...

Hello Everyone!
Hey, it's Brodie here, I know we have been out of blogging action for a long time but we have been busy doggies. Okay not too busy to update all of you but really we were just lazy. So the mommins have been telling me I have to start again since our fans have missed us so I'm going to do my best to rally the troops and get everyone blogging again, wish me luck, with Charlie to deal with it's gonna be a challenge! Oh here he come, I'll let him take over... byeeeeee
Hey y'all it's Charlie Chops here comin' at ya from Northern California! I've had a pretty standard day today... I woke up, ate some good food, Mmmmm, mmm how I do love food! Then I went back to bed with Mommins Samantha and cuddled with her and I do looooovvvvvvveeeeee to cuddle too! Then we all got up, I played out in the yard, and I do looooovvvvvvveeeeee to play in the yard!
Here's a photo of me and Izzie playing in the yard!
Now I'm all tired out so I'm gonna go take a nap so I'll be talking to y'all later, bye! Over to you B-man.
Thanks Charlie for that update, wow Charlie seems to be getting the hang of this whole blogging thing. Well we are all getting excited about my li'l sister Izzie's puppies coming. She is due on Sunday but the Mommins' seem to think they might show up a little early. Izzie's belly it huge! I know she is going to be such a good mom, she is always mothering the pack, I swear she cleans my eye boggers so well I'm gonna end up with sparkling fur! Being the leader amongst us four legged members of the pack I'm keeping my cool so no one gets anxious but I'll be happier once all the pups are here and everyone is happy and healthy.
Here is a photo of Izzie and Lexie relaxing on the couch.
Okay I'll make sure we keep the blog posted about the pups and I'll go Montie and Lexie they better think of something fun to talk about since it's their turn tomorrow.
This is a photo of Charlie, Izzie, Montie and Me after a trip to Alton Park in Napa, Lexie was still being dried off after we found a huge puddle to go play in!
That's all for now, over and out from the B-man and the rest of the gang.
