Puppies!!

Rosie's puppies are finally here! All six of them! Rosie went into labor at around 4pm in the afternoon yesterday, and had the last puppy at 12:19 this morning.

We were all set up and ready for them!

Rosie remembers exactly what happened last time we stuck her in the whelping box! While she was in labor she avoided it like the plague! But now she won't get out of it! :) It was a long night, but these sweet, warm, little ball of fur are so very worth it. It is so cute to see these precious puppies snuggle up to their momma to get warm, and she in return curls into a tight little ball of protection around her babies. There are 3 girls and 3 boys. 3 brown and white ones, and 3 black and white ones. Very even! When it comes to names we always pick a theme. This time I picked old kings and queens. So there names are, Louis, Edward, Henry, Elizabeth, Catherine and Victoria. They are all healthy, and Rosie is doing well also, and she didn't loose as much weight as I expected. That's definitely a bonus, since she'll have more strength and be able to feed her puppies more efficiently. I'll post pictures once in awhile as these sweet puppies grow.
