Rose is in labor

It's Sunday evening at 8:44 p.m. and Rose is in labor. Her temp has dropped and she's panting. We don't know if she'll do this all night and then have puppies, or if the puppies will come in the middle of the night. If you check in later, puppies might be arriving!

Lady's Puppies at one week old.

Here the puppies are very content and sleeping peacefully. Lady is taking a break :-)

Here are the puppies nursing. I call this being in "the zone".

Rose is getting prepared for her delivery.

Double Doodle Puppies Day One

Here are the 7 puppies on day one. Today they will nurse, sleep, nurse, sleep... All are healthy and strong - 4 females and 3 males.

I think we're all done - 7 it is.

I'll post more pics tomorrow after getting some sleep :-) Thanks for tuning in.

Here's #7 - a boy

Weighing in at 11 oz.

#6 is a Girl

Hungry puppies nursing in between deliveries.

Weighing in at 9 1/8 - smaller but energetic.

#5 is a Girl

Weighing in at 10 oz.

Cutting the cord - tie first with dental floss, then cut.

Puppy #4 is a Male

Here he is again - all the way out.

Here's a wet one for you.

Puppy #3 is a female - 9 1/2 oz

Puppy #2 is a male - 10 5/8 oz.

Here he is with his cord cut and ready to really get in and nurse.

This puppy is so anxious to nurse, he's got a nipple before his cord is even cut!

Puppies are coming!

At 6:15 p.m. she had her first puppy. Pictures will come soon.

Getting Lady prepared for Puppies!

Lady got her haircut and shave today in preparation for her upcoming delivery of puppies. Any guesses as to how many puppies she has in there?
