First 12 Hours
I am uploading videos here and there so be sure to check out my YouTube page.
Roxie is eating well. She is producing milk. Pups are gaining which is a bonus at this stage as they usually lose a bit. The pups are lively and strong. It's hard telling the 3 reds apart but one has tan on his face so now it;s which one is you - hunt for any markings time. I am safe now as they are both different sizes but got to look real close when I am coherent. I have only had a couple of hours sleep. Thank you truly to Murphy's mom for lunch. It's hard to balance cooking and all the rest.
Grandkids and daughter came over to see the pups. It was nice. Roxie has 'finally' crashed. Meaning she is sleeping. It's warm in the house as we donot have aur on as 2 days from now it is cooling off again. We shall see how that goes.
As you can see, Roxie is getting out to do her duty and she is so excited to say to the others, look what I have!
Roxie had an easy delivery. She is very healthy and this birth was interesting as she never made a peep and she would push and one would come out. Only the one breech did Nathan have to massage the area to get the pup to come faster but even that was minor. She had a very easy time. Nathan would sleep between births and well I didn't sleep.
We will recover but not today - maybe not tomorrow but usually by day 3 we are not walking zombies.

Wonderful videos. I've missed seeing newborn pups lately. Roxie is a beautiful mom, so very attentive. Looks like she had an easy delivery, and her last one. Well done Rox!
P.S.: I sort of thought about Rox being pregnant and close to delivery when I saw that you did her hair up in a braid. I never thought to look at her blog, if I would have my suspicion would have been confirmed :-)
Anne:
You are too smart. You should have been a detective!
So happy there are puppies in the house again!!
She is just a beauty!
Ann how clever. I had no idea.
Darlah you were monitoring Roxie on her site but we didn't know. I just saw all the prior pics. I love it. She really is amazing. I am so excited I can't sleep. Love watching pups as the grow.
The pups are gorgeous & Momma Roxie looks so relaxed in the photo. Congratulations!
Just curious who the puppies are from the last Roxie/Envy litter.
What a surprise ! I too was thinking it was odd for you not to have any pups this spring. What beautiful babies ! Well done Roxie !!

Alvin, Radar, Stone and Mickey I believe.
Yes, I had it all up there but who looked?
Wonderful Roxie, she takes Motherhood so graciously! And, you are right, Darlah, about the pups from the last Roxie/ Envy litter. 😉
Congratulations to Roxie and to you and Nathan, Darlah. Another beautiful litter. I, too, was not paying close enough attention to the clues and missed that Roxie was due to have puppies. Not on the ball, I guess. Anyhow, the puppies are beautiful and so is Roxie. Love to see her so proud of her accomplishment. Another wonderful group of Talemaker puppies.
