X-ray for Tulip

Today we took Tuli for her X-ray to see how many puppies she is expecting and the magic number is five.  We anticipated a little more since her last litter was seven, but we're just thrilled that she is healthy, eating like crazy, and has five puppies ready to be born.  We're expecting these little miracles on or about April 21st.  

Breeze is ready to deliver any day now.  We took her temperature a couple hours ago and she has dropped to 98.7.  We'll take it again in a few  hours just to make sure it wasn't a fluke, but we've been in puppy mode ever since that first reading of under 99 degrees.  

We have Breeze's whelping box ready, furnished with some comfy bedding and we've shaved her belly in preparation for whelping.  We blocked the perimeter of our bed underneath because that's one of her favorite places to lay and we want to make sure she doesn't decide to go under the bed to whelp her babies.  That would make it pretty difficult to assist if she needs our help.

We feel truly blessed to be experiencing our first litter so early into our endeavor and can't wait to share stories and pictures with you.  If you're interested in one of these little miracles...please check out the Puppy information page and click on Puppy Application.

Wishing you fluffy and furry days!
