Puppies Are HERE

A wonderful litter of 6 arrived very early Saturday morning.

I had heard Morgan panting around 12:30 am and I woke up sat there for 5 min but didn't hear anymore heavy panting so I didn't think much of it. It was at 1:15 when I heard the weirdest high pitch squeaking that I FLEW out bed and ran into the office. Sure enough Morgan met me at the door and in her "nesting bed" (plastic swimming pool) there was a tiny puppy. I was so pround of Morgan for not needing any assistance. She did it all! There were just a couple of puppies that we needed to tie off the umbilical cords and cut.

Heath Cleft was the last puppy born. He also has a cleft palette hence the name. I its very sad to know that he won't have a very good quality of life and vets wont do surgery to fix it. So we will most likely have to put him down. It really really makes me sad :,(

But overall this was a very successful litter. Morgan is a wonderful mother. Its a great Mothers day present for me as well!
Here are just a couple of pictures. I will post more in a couple of weeks when their eyes are open and I can handle them more.

Puppies~ Update

I took Morgan in this afternoon to get X-Rays; so we can see how many puppies she is expecting. Excuse me was my first thought. That's right 6 puppies for sure; possibly 7! OMG that is a bunch of pups for her first litter. I wish I could have had them print out the x-ray so I could scan it in and show everyone. Its actually kinda creepy looking, but also precious. There were 6 kiny skulls, but at one angle it looked like there might be 7. I am so excited! I just pray they will all be healthy & spunky puppies.

We are selling the puppies for $700 for right now. I have already got one puppy on hold for a buyer.

I was able to get belly pics today. I thinks its because she is getting huge she isn't as nimble as she once was.

55 days, 8 days to go
