Today is day 3 of Puppy Love

It is official - They are all one pounders! Even little Purple Lace girl.  Way to go Willow Sunshine on the milk production.

I spend lots of time admiring my little beauties, and thoroughly enjoy watching Willow Sunshine take care of them, and admire them herself.  She is such an attentive, calm, and gentle mother. 

More growing!

Day ONE Less than 12 hours old

The Tiny ones are filling out, moving around, and calm Willow Sunshine sleeps a lot.  The color of these pups are different than I have seen in my other yellows. They are darker, fox redish. I wonder how their color will change as they grow?  So begins the laundry, and feeding Momma three times a day.

Puppies Are Born

November 27th,  The first puppy was born at 8:15 AM and the last one at 11:27.  Willow Sunshine worked hard, and caught on quick..  This is her first litter.  The first born was a tiny girl of 14 oz, followed by a bruiser of a boy (over a pound).  He presented himself breech, and gave Sunshine a bit of trouble.  One puppy was only 13 ounces, so tiny, and adorable.  We had one exciting moment when Willow Sunshine cut the cord too close, and we had a bleeder!  Blood was squirting all over my hands.  I pinched the cord nub, and fortunately there was just enough to pinch.  After some time the bleeding stopped, we (Ma and I) tied it off, and little golden girl seems to be doing OK.

We Are still in  "anything can happen" zone, so a watchful vigil is kept, even by Nash.  He was amazing through the hole thing.  He lay quietly watching, and with interest, He keeps an eye on things.  Pearly is a bit confused, she wants to take care of the babies, Willow Sunshine Tells her, " these are my babies."  Willow Sunshine you are simply perfect, and amazing.

Day 55, Outside and Inside

Willow is Day 55, one week to go, or sooner.

     Yesterday, November 20th, we went for a puppy xray. The vet counted 6 puppies.  I am happy with that.  I was worried it might be 9 or 10.  Willow Sunshine is more careful about her rough play, and definitely only walks, waddles, on or walks.  We hadn't been in a few days, so it felt good to get out today.  Here are a few photos and the xray.
