Puppies Are Here

Click on Photo for Larger ViewFirst one born is a gal. She is brown sable and weighs in at 6-1/8oz  174g. She was born at 930pm.

She's a large one for Saffron. She let Nathan know she was having it and he heard from outside. I was with her so no worries. She came out as if she was touching her toes.

Am uploading videos as I can. Check Them Out Here.

Click on Photo for Larger ViewNext one born is a girl born at 10:57pm. She weighs 5-5/8oz 162g She is a brown sable. She kept stretching so getting a decent photo was interesting. They are both sables - now this will be interesting to tell the 2 apart.

Click on Photo for Larger ViewThis one is a gal but a lighter red sable vs a brown sable. She was born at 11:32pm and weighs 5-1/8oz 148grams.

Seems I am up for the night so I will be uploading the gallery and the videos.

Here is the gallery from bath to whelping.

How did it go? First one was the largest so she yelled and Nathan heard her outside. She came out folded as if she was touching her toes.

The 2nd one was breach and stuck so Nathan got her standing up. Yes, I said let her stand up and have gravity work with you. He massaged the area and got the puppy out. She was not stuck for long. She also came out lively and looking for food. 

The 3rd one also came out breach and was halfway out but she was the smallest and came out rather quickly despite her half in and half out experience. 

These pups were larger than her last and she felt these pups getting born unlike her first who just plopped out.

She was a champ and was very restless until all 3 girls were out. Now she is a proud momma and needs to rest but she is too happy. She keeps kissing them and cleaning them. It's going to be a long night for both of us. Dennis took a nap so I am not sure why I am up but I get those first moments and they are special.

All 3 girls are very active, eating well and finding the milk stations on their own. But I won't get to sleep till 7am and will sleep till noon and then I have dogs to wash to go home. Then Dennis naps and he will do teh night shift.

Tonight Dennis has the boys and Nathan has the girls as we have Jeannie and Inula in heat.

These little beauties look like identical twins! Is it a girls team, Saffie?

3 beautiful girls for a beautiful mom. None hidden? Hopefully you can get some sleep.

Congratulations on the beauties! Girl power, all gals! Glad the delivery went ok, could of been an issue with all the breach positions... Your delivering experience is invaluable.
Darlah, don't feel alone, I'm also working until 7:15 am. I am with with you in spirit!

It's 4:30am, less then 3 hours to go Darlah until you head to pillow heaven ie your BED. You can do it! It's like you are going through motherhood over and over again... You are seriously impressive.

September 3, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterSylvia

An hour and a half to go. I so need sleep. Got 2 dogs to wash and cut and 2 to comb out. Then of course the rest.

September 3, 2017 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Congratulations! The pups are all beautiful. Love the video of Saffron kissing her baby, precious! 20 min to go and then bedtime. I don't know how you do it all. You are truly amazing.
