Jorja Rules · 08-29-2010, 07:29 AM

She was very quiet all day yesterday and when I went on an errand last night at 8:30 and she wasn't at the door wanting to go with me I knew something was up.

I got back home about 10 last night and went to bed and realized she was still up digging and "nesting" in the whelping box...usually she beats me to bed and goes right into her and Jett's sleeping kennel. LOL

About 11:30 I checked on her because she was still awake and noticed her contractions. I sat with her all night and 3 boys were born at 1:18 am, 1:59 am, 2:45 am, and then at 4:32 a little girl was born. I knew from xrays that 4 puppies were expected.

Jorja did a wonderful job all on her own and has taken to nursing and cuddling them like a pro! The babies weighed between 3.3 oz and 4.45 oz. (I used my digital weight watchers food scale. LOL)

Anyway, all is good ... except my male was in the sleeping kennel next to the whelping box I made and I swear I wanted to give him a cigar and tell him to chill out. He was so concerned and nervous as a long-tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs! LOL
