7 so far…make that 8…now 9…maybe that's it


Started at 4 am this morning.  So far 4 girls (2 brindle 2 black) and 3 boys (all brindle).  One of the black girls is marked just like daddy, except her slash is on the show side instead of the off side.  All the rest are flashy and evenly marked so far.

#8 is another brindle girl, with beautiful markings and bright brindle.

#9 is another black girl, gorgeous markings.  Slow to start, so good thoughts as we rubrubrubrub.

And I think we’re done.  #9 has come around from limp and unresponsive to pink and squeaking, but is still gasping a bit.  I’m hopeful.

Lizzie seems to think she’s done.  2 placentas still inside :(

    Keep those girls coming, Lizzie. Congratulations — I’m part of the “lovepuppy” group waiting for photos.

    I’m betting there’ll be fist fights over that patched boy. They’re SOOOOO cute!

    I’m so thrilled it’s a NATURAL whelp, and sounds like Lizard is doing great! I can’t wait to hear more about the babies!

    Oh man, I missed the lastest one. Lizzie’s doing a great job! Jeri, can you feel if there is one OR two left?

    Dark of night? Heck she waited until almost morning Jeri’s time. Dark of night my time ;-)

    Once she started, they were popping out there for awhile.

    Six girls and three boys is PERFECT! Good job Jeri and Lizzie (and, I’m thinking, the long distance midwife as well).

    She’ll probably deliver the last placentas in a little while. You can get a shot of oxy to make sure. I don’t normally worry about it too much.
