Puppies are here!

O.k. so she didn’t have 42 puppies like I thought. I have been guessing my litter sizes 4/5 times. Here Jen, have a piece of humble pie.

On Saturday we were busily packing up for a BBQ. After making my salad, dressing the children and packing everyone up, I ran back in the house to grab the diapers and wipes. All day I had been watching my dog, who seemed perfectly happy being pregnant with 42 puppies. I kid you not, everyone was in the van and as I grabbed the diaper I turned around to have one last glimpse at the dog on the t.v. screen and at that moment she hunched up.

This dog KNEW I was heading out the door for the evening. I went out to her kennel and sat there watching her, sure enough, this was it.

We stayed an extra half and hour to see how things  progressed. I ended  up calling our neighbor Dee who  said she would check on my dog every hour. Over the course of the next 8 hours Summer very slowly gave birth to 4 puppies.  Healthy little buggers they are. 3 boys/1 girl – 2 blacks/1 brown black and 1 white. The littlest guy is a true solid black, no white at all and he was 4.5 ounces!

 

Much to my dismay, she did not have 42 puppies, but these four sure are keepers.
