As some of you are aware I had a very pregnant dog living with me. Well on Friday night after 4 hours of hard labor, we welcomed 5 very content and healthy pups into our world. (3 Girls, 2 Boys)
It was a long trip to finally get them out - her temperature dropped at 3:30pm Thursday, for those of you not understanding that part, once the temperature has dropped to its lowest point, you usually have 4 - 12 hours before pups arrive, but this can be extended to 36 hours with no fear of danger. Well Kelsea decided to wait till Friday evening at 5pm to finally get things started and like all first time (maiden) dogs, she was slow to really get things moving. But by 8:30pm we had the first pup and by 12:10am the last one had arrived.
So in a span of three days I managed to successfully get about 8 hours of sleep, and while I was close to being a babbling idiot near the end, I did manage to function and last night was my first night of getting almost 8 hours of sleep undistrubed - only had to get up once to help one pup find his littermates, he keeps getting lost
I've attached a picture below taken just 12 hours after they were born.
