After the usual ruckus with my resident doodles, she fit right in and would go outside with them. This is a shot of her prior to whelping. She looks uncomfortable to say the least.
There were numerous hours of 'needing to use the toilet'. All day long and half of the night. Then at the midnight bell, contractions started......
The litter started arriving at 12:30 and kept on coming.
It ended somewhere around 5 AM. What a lovely litter. :+) Gorgeous silky coats and I just adore all those 'black patent leather shoe look-a-likes'!
It'd be nice for you if they would give birth during regular waking hours once in a while! Seems like you've had a group of over-night birthers lately. These pups are so precious - yet another group of families who have, as yet, only an inkling of how lucky they are, and how much fun they are in for! Albert delights us every day with his antics, and his downright cuteness.
ReplyDeleteHope you've caught up on your sleep, Joyce :-)
Yes, I have and feel like a million bucks. :+)
ReplyDeleteThe new pups went to the vet today for dew claw removal and a check up - all is good. Now I hope not to see my vet for at least 7 weeks. Lately, I have been a regular a couple of times a week!
Glad to here Albert continues to delight all of you! :+)
