12 Hours Old

Stormy is such a proud mom. Pups are eating. They are slightly gaining and finding their way to mom. 

Here is the gallery.

Stormy is smart. She took naps all through the night. Each time I closed my eyes she would make sure I was wide awake. It was as if she knew I was going to nap too. I needed to but couldn't. I hope Raven is during the day and we do not do the 2 day labour thing. 

Stormy when not pregnant sleeps with Jon our son 99% of the time. He is like a doting dad. It is nice to watch and she was so proud to show off her pups. 

He watched the pups while I was grooming 3 dogs going home. It was the only way I could fit it in. I find the balancing and fitting everything in for a few days after delivery too stress-filled. I worry even though I can watch mom and pups on my ipad. So I am only doing grooming with dogs that are staying here. 

Dennis will be doing night shift. It means I will be cleaning all the water dishes, getting coffee ready for tomorrow, cleaning up and will probably roll into bed at 11 to 1130 and I will most likely crash. 

We have already done 5 loads and now have the items ready for Raven. 

My eating has been ridiculous as you have no time. Nathan was going to make smoked meat but we were out of rye bread so hopefully no more pups and he will get a chance to get some. I like pups being close but I would love Raven to wait a few more days. I need her to. :-)

We shall see how it goes but for now, Stormy is an amazing mom and her pups are doing really well.

Such beautiful pups. Stormy is looking very content and happy ๐Ÿ˜Š

Stormy is just perfect. Loved by all and loving. I am sure her pups will be the same. She looks so relaxed on her back. Darlah I hope you have a wonderful long sleep tonight. Good that you cancelled grooming. I don't know how you do as much as you do as it is. Nice that Jon was part of this if Stormy is "his" dog.

Yes, he says Stormy is his so we will see how that progresses. I am glad he was a part of it. Already bed is calling me.

Marjolein: Thinking about you, your knee. Can you believe a boys litter. Watch Raven will either have all girls or all boys. LOL
