Pups are Coming
1st - First one born at 4am. He's a red/apricot sable with a dark tail. He's 5oz 170g.
Nathan got to sleep till 4am. I have not slept - Dennis either. wow. First one was born then Dennis woke up Nathan. It's been a long few days. Feel sick I am so tired. Caffeine here I come.
2nd - Next one is a boy born at 453am. He is 6-7/8oz 196g He is either black or very dark brown and sable. Have to wait till dried to know.
3rd - Next one born is yet another boy. He was born at 543am. He is an red/apricot sable. He is 5-3/8oz 153g
4th- Next one born is a red/apricot sable. He was born at 620am. He weighs 6-5/8oz 189g
5th one born is the smallest and is a girl. She appears to be a brown sable. She was born at 713am and weighs 4-3/8 oz 127g
Now we wait for the 6th and then I go to bed. This means videos and gallery will be later. I need to sleep at least 2 hours so I can be less than a zombie. Nathan got 6 hours last night. Dennis 3 hours. We are in great shape.
This all began with us in bed (us Roxie, me and several dogs. I barricaded a section off and if I closed my eyes she kicked me literally. Her water also burst on my bed. I will clean that after I get some sleep. Good thing we have other beds.
Okay at 821am the 6th one was born and it is a boy - red/apricot sable. When I go to bed, Nathan will have to figure out distinguishing features or markings or something cause its's going to be interesting knowing who is whom. We can do so now as we know their weights.
6th born boy born at 821am weighs 6-5/8 188g
After this pup is fully out, Nathan will change all the bedding. I have to wash Roxie's back end and dry her and then crawl into bed.
If any of this doesn't make sense - oh well. I consider this a miracle that I could do it. hahahahaha Yeah, I am that tired. Catch you later. Now off to wash Roxie.

Oh my goodness puppies! Never a dull moment at Talemaker. I can't even imagine how exhausted you must all be.
They are beautiful! So sorry Roxie picked the middle of the night to give birth. You guys have got to be walking zombies at this point. Looks like things are going well with the births. Hope you all find a way to get some zzzs in.
I don't think I've ever seen red in your puppy descriptions.
What beautiful colours! I think you need a puppy nurse to come in
and relieve you for 12 hours of sleep.
Beautiful baby boys! Congratulations!
I need something Sherry. I am beyond exhausted and getting sick too. Supposed top wash Charlie to go home but not happening. Can't. Will have to do him in a day or 2.
Congratulation! The babies are so beautiful! And four little boys!
Stunning. Congratulations. I hope you get that much needed, restful sleep.
Oh, a little gal this time! Wondering if the 6th pup will be a boy or a gal. They look beautiful! Hoping you all get some well deserved now.
Beautiful little pups. I hope you get the rest and sleep you need Darlah. You sure do deserve it .
Congratulations all 3 litters are stunning.
Beautiful pups ! Hope you are sleeping by this time !
Beautiful puppies. Love the red/sable colouring - so unique. Good to see that the puppies are healthy. Hope you get some rest so you, too, can be healthy, Darlah.
Congratulations to you all! Stunning puppies! Don't know how we are ever going to know the difference for the first few weeks at least. Will be so much fun when all 18 are together. Sweet dreams, Darlah.
Beautiful pups. Talemaker Moms sure have great looking pups. Congratulations to all. Hope things settle down soon for all of your sakes. Take care now that the deliveries are over for yet another Spring. Wonderful 18 puppies. You are going to make a lot of very lucky families very, very happy!
Congratulations to all the sleep deprived at Talemaker. Roxie's babies are
beautiful. Lots of boys again. I think the boys rock.
Ronnie: Happy Birthday! Roxie gave birth to 6 beautiful pups on your birthday, 5 more brothers and a sister for Rusty Same for Radar, aren't they lucky to have so many siblings!!
Congratulation to all of you! Gorgeous babies! Five boys and one little girl, so special! Glad that all the babies are healthy, and they have beautiful colours. I really hope you are gonna get the sleep you need. Congratulation!

What wonderfull news to wake up to!
Congratulations to you all.
Roxie has such beautiful, healthy pups!
Hope everyone gets some much needed rest.
Congratulations! They are all beautiful.
Congrats! Beautiful puppies, all of them! Now you have a very full household! Hope you are getting some rest. Best wishes, from Holly, Monica and Oliver!
Congrats!! The pups are beautiful!! And so unique.
Wishing you all, dogs and humans alike, some rest and recovery time. The puppies are gorgeous. I love the colours. Congratulatory scritches to Roxie!
Yes, first time and no doubt will be the last. We did once take on Teaser when we had 2 litters for Paula but this has been crazy. Too much juggling with no sleep. Just had 2.5 hours sleep. Feel better - not whole but better.
Wow! The puppies are gorgeous. I hope everyone can get some much needed rest. Congratulations!
Big props Nathan and Darlah on 3 beautiful litters !
There will be a lot of very happy families in July !!
Congratulations again, pups are absolutely beautiful! Well done canine moms. You ladies did good. I've always been partial to solid brown or black pups.
Wow! 19 puppies, Nathan, Darlah, and Dennis, you guys are going to be so busy.
absolutely beautiful colouring. makes me think we need one more havaneezer, as we call them at our place. can't wait to see them fluffed up in a few weeks!
Audrey: 18 pups - 9 Spice, 6 Roxie, 3 Jeannie. Yes, we are going to be really busy. Do not think we will ever be this crazy again. 2 litters at a time a week apart is better. But this way they will have an easy time in integrating. We were only planning two. Going to be fun getting them in the pool.
OMG the pups are gorgeous. Beautiful colouring. Thank you Angela. Yes born on my birthday and Rusty's siblings. Roxie has beautiful pups as they all do. 18 wonderful puppies. Darlah you are my idol. I don't know how you can function on so little sleep. Congratulations to the Talemaker crew. I was so busy watching the Spice videos that I just got on Roxie's blog. What a wonderful, exciting day it has been.
How is Roxie?
Another amazing litter of puppies. Another amazing demonstration of the love, tenderness and dedication that you and Nathan have for your dogs and their babies.
Ronnie: Happy belated birthday. I am sorry I missed giving you a Happy Birthday on your day. I think I was a little distracted. Forgive me! Hope it was the best!
Darlah thank you so much. I think you were just a bit busy. But the best thing that happened was Roxie's puppies. So, so cute.
Congrats!!!!!!
