A Sad Morning

Zaccheus died in the early hours of the morning. The cute little one is already missed.

Calm and content

After 24 hours, Lady has calmed down and is resting. I love the one snuggling close to her neck.

The Morning Chorus

Whew! I am ready for bed after staying up all night in the delivery room. But who can sleep when you have this going on. I think mama wasn't too sure what to do with all of them.

Final score: Boys 4 Girls 3

Looks like we crossed the finish line successfully with a total of 7 puppies: 3 girls and 4 boys. They all seem to be doing well.

Here they come!

After a long day, pups finally started to arrive around 6:45 p.m. So far 2 girls 1 boy. This picture is of the first girl. So adorable! Mama is doing so well with them.

Digging deep

Been waiting all day, but she was getting particularly agitated this evening. This might be a long night!

Sooner than later?

It's looking like the pups may make their debut a little early, based on Lady's behavior. She's been panting, nesting, and her temperature dropped this morning too.

Getting Ready!

Lady's puppies are due this Saturday (4/24/10). She is expected to have 7-8 puppies. As you can see, she is getting plumper by the day!

Building the Box

Wes built a weaning box to house the puppies as they grow. Lady will miss the comfort of her bed inside the house for a while, but this will be a safe place for all of the puppies to be kept until they are placed.
