It's hours away from doing their debut thang. Now that they are dry you can see how creamy the one boy is. They are beautiful and very lively.
Pups are holding their own on weight and 1 slightly gaining.
The pups are very strong dragging themselves from one part of the whelping box to another. I am impressed.
Let me tell you about Stormy's delivery now that I am semi awake. You will have to see Willow's update later today to understand semi.
She never complained. She pushed. She got out after the 1st to go outside to pee. On the 3rd she did a walkabout as if she knew this would help things along and it did. She got their cords chewed off as she just couldn't stand anything hanging. She ate food during delivery. We were missing vanilla ice cream but had baby bell cheese. The calcium is good to help things along but you only give it after labour begins.
She was no nonsense and quite proud of herself and she has a right to be.
Today she is on her 3rd bowl of food. After not eating till labour all yesterday - well she was hungry. She has not gone outside but will after Nathan's shower where I suspect she will strut through the dogs pleased as punch to say look at me - what I did!
It is such a wonderful experience. We try so hard to make it so truly special as it is.
Later today she will get a massage then a comb out. We will change bedding throughout the day. She is still bleeding and will continue to do so for days to come. This is normal.
Ahhhhh puppies - nothing like them and bravo 2 girls - what do you know!
