Pups are Here: Gallery Added Videos Added

Click on Photos for Larger ViewFirst one at 5oz - 144grams girl born at 415pm. She is actually a tri with one white shoulder. No second stage for us and not a single noise. Glad I am observant. Next one is coming soon. We are seeing the bubble and she is pushing.

Just one photo for each pup and then I will do a gallery.

Click on Photo for Larger ViewSecond one born is a tri with apricots on his cheeks. He was born at 509pm and weighs 5-3/8oz 154grams.

Click on Photo for Larger ViewThe 3rd one is a boy that is cream with gold markings. He weighs 6-1/4oz - 180grams. He was born at 526pm. We are waiting for the 4th. 

Click on Photo for Larger View4th one born at 610pm is a gal who weighs in at 5-1/2 oz - 156 grams. 

Will do a gallery in a bit. Lori or was that Roger called it - 2 gals 2 boys. All are healthy, active, eating and the last gal made a noise over and over when we tried to weigh her. It seems she was hungry. 

This type of a birth is why I stay up. She never made a sound. They just plopped out. 

Jeannie was just cleaned up and when she was walking back it was with a waggy waggy tail of excitement and a bounce in her step. I do believe the gal is proud!

Gallery is here. It will be all unedited photos so the messiness will be there. I also took some videos.

Here they are. Just captured moments. It is a little crazy balancing everything when whelping.

Congratulations Jeannie, 4 beautiful puppies. I find it as exciting as the first time watching the deliveries. I just went through the archives to relive stellas first weeks.

March 15, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterValerie and stella

Congratulations everyone. I'm looking forward to seeing Jeannie too! I remember her as a puppy in classes with Cha cha and Timmy. What fun we had! Now she's a mom, twice over. Crazy to think that cha cha is actually old enough to be a mother. I guess when we get our second she sort of will be! Ha

March 15, 2015 | Unregistered CommenterJill
