Finally done with all these whelpings, I don't know how you do it, exhausted beyond belief I believe.
Lovely pups, as to be expected from Talemakers, and to the future new parents 🤗

Congratulations they are so beautiful!!

A big Congratulations to all 🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾

The miracle of life continues to amaze me.
Congratulations on the birth of Willow’s 6 beautiful and healthy pups.
Darlah, Nathan and Dennis your dedication and stamina is commendable; hopefully, you can get some sleep tonight.
Sending a big thank you from Dan & I, we appreciate all the loving care you give to the moms, the pups and for your daily blogs which mean so much to us. ❤️

August 3, 2022 | Unregistered CommenterSusan

This may be the craziest thing to do to yourselves but congratulations on all 18 of them (but who's counting?) and I hope you and Nathan and Dennis can get some proper rest soon, though that seems unlikely!

Jodi: We really didn't intend on 18. We never for a minute thought Ella would get pregnant but here we are. That would have brought us down to 13 - which I am not crazy about 13 but less pups. But it will make a lot of people happy.

Other than Ella and her car ride all litters were actually easy on moms. Willow didn't even make a noise.

I am waiting for Dennis to wake up at 945pm and going to hop upstairs and crash. I am making stupid silly mistakes as I am tired.

I had to wash all my bedding on my bed as Willow threw up all over it - usual with delivery and had discharge. So, I got to make the bed too. Nothing like clean sheets but didn't need the extra work.

All pups are simply gorgeous - all 18.

Thank you everyone for the kind words. I must say I too am happy whelpings are done. Now the nurturing and fun will begin after eyes are open etc

August 3, 2022 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Congratulations on another beautiful 6 puppies !! Can't imagine coping with 18 ! Hope you all get some sleep soon. You'll need the energy !

August 3, 2022 | Unregistered CommenterMaureen

We have had 14 before but from a couple of litters.
