Adorable. I'm glad they're all spoken for; that little one on it's back with the wagging tail is too cute. Congrats on the beautiful family!

This had to be one of the wierdest whelpings i have seen, just how long it took. She was 63 days on wed, she didnt want her lunch or supper, but wolfed down human food like it was her last meal lol, at 11pm the panting and nesting behavior started, so figured i would expect pups in the early morning hours of thursday, nope, this behavior went on until friday morning about 7am. I mean serious nesting and the panting was heavy, she wasnt straining or pushing and no discharge but i was getting concerned. We were discussing making a trip to the vet as soon as they opened with in the hour but i took her outside for the 20th time and bingo we had discharge, let her back in and she basically ran to her whelping box and by 8am she had her first one, whew talk about stress lol. She took her sweet time as she did not finish until 5pm, all pups were a little over a pound each, one smaller guy at just under a pound and one huge guy at a little over a pound and a half.

Couple pics, first one of mom on thursday, resting in between bouts of furious nesting, im partial to the little light brindle guy:), also whelping box made out of left over laminate flooring, we had a box of flooring left over and it is so easy to wipe clean, pig rail went in this morning as she laid on one and i had to revive him with a bit of puppy cpr, he came back, i now have become OCD about checking on them oh say every 10 mins lol, if it was up to me i would never leave the box:D

Good luck with your new litter, pups look strong. My wife had a lil OCD about the mom sitting on the pups so she went out and bought a baby cam from babys R us... set the camera right over the whelping box and every time she would hear a noise she would just look at the screen and count the pups and relax. Maddy never sat on her pups but I hear it is really prevalent due to their size and not really feeling the pup under them. BTW I like K9 Naturals puppy gold when weaning.

Thats to bad , my door is open to other dog nuts like myself lol, anytime your passin through, you know were i live:)

@juan, i have security cams on the driveway and front gate as well as on the front door, so we moved the one on the front door into the bedroom but there was a malfunction somewhere cause it no worky now lol. How much was the one your wife bought and is it wireless? the cams we have are not wireless so i think the problem is in the wire. I have to go into town tomorrow to get a wall charger for my ipod then i can watch them from anywhere but still would like a new wireless cam so my ipod is not tied up 24/7

And thank you all for the congrats its been a long haul on this crazy adventure but well worth the wait, im lovin every minute of it

nah this one was plug and play but it came with a lil 3 m tape for a base to hang the camera up. the monitor used both batteries or cord but the camera and the monitor did not require a cord in between them. I think it was like 45-60 bucks and black and white but it was money well spent as it stopped her from getting up in the middle of the night to check them manually. I actually lent it to another breeder as I am not planning anything for a while otherwise I would have just sent it to you to borrow.

I've lived in pretty much every environment... I love the convenience of city life but you also cant beat the space, peace and tranquility that the country has to offer. Just wished the wife wasn't so damn scared of the country... she believes that there are cannibal chain saw wielding hill billies behind every tree...damn television, lol.

BTW you could also just order one via the internet..
