Popping on for a quick update as I know people are waiting! Unfortunately, I went from delivering puppies to sick. I have zero voice, can’t even whisper right now. To top of my miserableness, Canada has been running a fever so our vet is monitoring her daily. The puppies are feeding wonderful and gaining about an ounce a day already.
The final puppy make up was 4 females, 3 black/1 yellow (all taken) and 4 males 3 yellow/1 black (all available but I do have callbacks to make.)
Here’s a couple pics to tide y’all over while we recover. I appreciate your patience.

Now that mama is resting while we wait for more, I’ll catch you up on the days events.
Canada’s temperature dropped yesterday which was a little alarming because it seemed too early. This morning she started the panting and pacing for pretty much the whole day. At 4:09 I saw the first hard contraction and pushing…but an hour later still no puppy. Another 15 minutes and I’m stressing because that’s a long time for hard labor.

At 90 minutes, I couldn’t do it any more and packed her up for the vet. I prepped the SUV with everything I needed in case she delivered on the way there. We got to the vet where they x-rayed and examined her. Everything was good, they could feel the puppy with their fingertips and none were stuck. We opted for a shot of pitocin and within 15 minutes she delivered the first one.

We decided to labor at the vets just in case anything went sideways so I lugged all my puppy stuff in and they graciously tucked us into one of their comfort rooms in the back. That is where we will stay until at least 8 are born.

Oh and another black 💗 just popped out which makes five!
Momma resting between #4 and 5.

I predict puppies in the next 24 hours…temperature has dropped, panting and pacing are in full force, and the desire to dig a hole to China is strong.
in has begun so follow along!

Miss Ma’m has always laid like this but I was sure she would stop when pregnant but nope…still her go to position.

Her final x-ray count is now 8-10. Due date is November 8 so we start official puppy watch and temperature checks on Monday after we spend the weekend setting up the whelping room.

So excited to have some puppies back in the house…I love having them over the holidays. Weird, I know.

Miss Canada is looking bigger by the day. Banks thinks he’s the daddy and is always close by. They are now trying to sleep in the same crate. I’m so excited to have some puppies back in the valley💕
