Well Friday night, Princess Winifred Guinivere Rosy Angel (aka Princess) gave birth. It was amazingly fast. She started fussing a little bit and panting around 5:30 p.m. at about 8 p.m. she chased me upstairs to where I had put her whelping box (well the one she chose, the one I created she rejected, she chose the laundry basket filled with clean towels!) at 8:30 I was yelling at my husband to get upstairs as there was a puppy on the way! at 8:55 she delivered the second, at 9:40 she delivered the third and much to our surprise at 10:30 she delivered a 4th! We were only expecting 3 as we had x-rays and an ultrasound taken the week before and two different vets said that's all we were having! I guess Princess thought otherwise
We have two little boys and two little girls and all of them are about equal size. Right now the trick is to keep Princess up on her nutrition as all the little sausages do is sleep and nurse but she is doing an amazing job! I haven't even had time to upload pictures but since this was her first litter we are just proud as can be of her!
She let's everybody in to see her puppies as well. The two big dogs (lab mixes) take a look in the basket once in awhile and she just licks their noses and daddy hops in the basket gives her a lick on the nose and she licks him back and then he goes off to play ball!
My daughter and her husband came around yesterday and Princess was happy as could be to let them take a look at th babies!
I admit I'm such a softy, I just began sobbing when the first one was born and by the 4th one I was just laughing and crying and so was hubby!
Now the fun begins because at this point my husband has no desire to let even one of them go, that means I will wind up with 8!!!! dogs 5 yorkies and 2 labs
