The day we had been holding our breath and waiting for arrived. On Thursday afternoon Sadie Rose had her puppies.
The first little girl arrived at 4:30pm, and after that boy after boy after boy popped out. By 7:00 we had 6 puppies, 4 boys and 2 girls.
{Tux, the second puppy and biggest boy!}
She took a bit of a break after that, but an hour and a half later she started again. At 9:30pm the 9th puppy entered the world, the 3rd beautiful girl.
We all kind of hoped that, that was that! Sadie had been 1 of 9 and she only had 9 nipples so 9 was a good number we thought. Sadie had other ideas and an hour later made it an even 10. For sure that would be it! I mean that's quite a large litter!! Nope. 11:30pm found us welcoming Mo (short for "the last of the Mohicans") who as his name implies was indeed the last puppy. She almost made it to a dozen... just not quite. :)
They all have temporary identification names. Just to be able to tell them apart. :)
This is Major. Handsome little guy!
:P
Sleepy Stubby.
Little Dash didn't want to show his adorable peanut butter eyebrows. :)
Some of the puppies got "re-named". This one is now called Skunk.
Sleepy girls, Fan and Solo.
Of course they are growing up SO fast, changing each day (these pictures are a few days old...) Their eyes should open any day now!!
Puppy visits are open by appointment only. Comment for reserving your time slot. :)
