5 puppies

Posted in PuppiesII at 8:26 am by Lea

well , #3 was at 1:15, #4 was at 2:45 and i don’t know when #5 happened – I checked her at 4:30 for progress and with no sign of further labour, I went to sleep. Silly me, she had quietly snuck out another one

So yawn a good nights work on Rosie’s part
I’ll have to write some emails – but later…

Keep your eye on the gallery (link below) I’m sure Dave will start loading potos (he can’t put them all on flickr!)

Two hours between pups. Longer than I like, but she doesn’t seem distressed.
I went in there to check on her (birth is like war – long periods of extreme boredom interpresed with brief periods of extreem excitement) and found #1 all rolled up in a bit of towel and being ignored. ‘Oh no’, thought I, ‘she is ignoring the baby! This can’t be good’ But, no, she was in the process of delivering #2.
I do wonder if she put him out of the way or if she just moved a bit and he lost his grip.

By the way, we probably won’t know how many boys and girls for a couple of days as we try not to disturb her too much.

Midnight already. sigh I wonder what time I will get to bed tonight…
