wuptidoo!!!!! we have all our babies out, I mean, that is if the xray is 100% correct all the time. The first one is a 4.55 oz boy born at 2:45p, baby girl 5.75 oz born at 3:47p and a 5.45 oz baby boy at 4:01p. We just called our vet and asked if we should bring them in, they said we didn't have to as long as the babies are nursing, and they are. Samantha is resting right now, I would too, goodness, with all that work she did on her own! The oldest boy is too whiny!!! it's so cute..... our problem now is docking the tails... more reading to do, I guess. The moment we get a good shot at them, we'll post the photos. Right now, we just want to give the mom and the babies R&R and their time to bond.... At first, Samantha had us worried as she didn't want to go to the welphing box we built for her, We put all the toys in there but she would take her favorite one and climb back to our bed. We didn't force her as we didn't want to add any stress on her, we figured she knows what it was for and she'll go there when she's ready. Sure enough, about 15 minutes before she had her first one, she went there, made herself comfy, then an ear splitting scream, and the first one came out. Gosh, that scream made me almost want to faint as I thought she won't make it, but I have to keep my cool as I didn't want to scare Ruth, who at the time was already a nervous wreck. I am just looking at them right now, and Samantha just seems to know what she's doing, stroking each and everyone of them. By the way, I also asked the vet about how Samantha ate all that came out of her, and if we should be alarmed or not, she said we don't have anything to worry about it as it s part of nature. I asked my elders before all these came along, and they unanimously said that dogs know what they are doing and that we should just let them be. It does not hurt to arm ourselves with knowledge and all, I'd rather face all these prepared and I guess part of me was calm because of what I learned here and of course tons of prayers. We were expecting it to be bloody and goury (sp?) but I guess Samantha did a good job in cleaning up after herself. We tried to tape it as it was happening, but I guess we took a good shot on the second one as the angle was just right.
