Surprise: Pups Are Here

First one born at 1155pm on the 27th. He weighed 5-1/8 oz 147g. He looked black when he came out but he is going to be a silver or a dark sable. Time will tell.

Second one born is a girl. She arrived at 12:47am on the 28th. She is a brown sable. She weighed 5oz 142g

Third one born is a male and he is a brown sable and white. He arrived at 120am. He is the smallest weighing in at 4-7/8oz 139g

The next one is a gal who arrived at 210am. She has 2 spots on her back. She appears to be black and white. She weighed 5-5/8oz 161g

Last one born is a brown sable and white. She has a half mask, spots. She arrived at 256am. She weighed 5-3/8oz 154g

Here is the gallery.

Although she screamed on her first, she had no issues with her delivery. As soon as she was finished she started being attentive, kissing up the babies. She's had potty breaks. She has eaten very well a number of times. She is drinking water.

Here is a video of her before I groomed her and after having pups.

I slept at 7am to just before 11. Nathan slept from 315 to 7am and is back in bed after I bathed Moxie. Tomorrow Velvet and Mabel. :-)

Pups are of size and she remained tiny so we were going to go in for an xray on Monday figuring she may have had 1. We thought yes, we thought no. She started getting a bit round. There was no kicking so we went could be, may not be. If she is, oh no - no kicking.

We are a bit shell shocked but in awe at how beautiful her pups are and how good of a mom Saffie is. 

You should have seen us when the water broke. We were running around with our heads cut off (Dennis and I) getting an xpen set up, supplies etc. We had zip ready. 

It was an experience.

Wow, what a surprise. I must have missed a few blogs in the past day or so and I wake up this morning see Saffie's beautiful pups. Beautiful markings. Well done Safffie! You will make a beautiful mom.

Yes, she is glowing though messy this morning. Those pups are so lively they do wonders to her hair. May have to cut her down and I don't like doing that. We will see in 2 weeks when we have her bath.
