Jessi babies day 0

Here we go!!!! After a labour that started at 0300 in the morning, yellow girl arrives at 1745 and weighs in at 485 grams. For anyone doing the math, that's 12 hours and 45 minutes of labour. I will tell you that once she started to deliver things were speedy.

Here we are with what we think is the end of puppy delivery (4 boys and 2 girls) and I go to bed to catch a few minutes of sleep......

I get up and find that she has gifted us with 2 more girls..... sneaky puppy!!!! Puppy deliveries that long after the group are not that uncommon. Puppies may need to migrate from under the rib cage all the way down the uterine horns. Palpation can be confusing because they are so high up that it feels like mom's had something to eat and it's sitting in her gut.


I split the litter to make sure everybody eats and here is a foot that is trying to escape the warming pad.... maybe a hormonal moment??? Girls, do we know anything about that?????
