Pups Are Here Finally

The first one born is a girl. She weighs 8oz 227g She appears to be Nami colour but we shall see when she dries. She was born at 1215am

Videos will be found in the same place Nami's are. Be sure to check out shorts as well.

Second one was born at 135am and it is a gal. She weighs 9-5/8oz 274g She may be a chocolate but I think she may be Nami's color. We shall see.They need to dry 1st.

Third one born is a boy. He debut at 220am. He weighs 10-1/8oz 290g. I think he looks black and white - stunning markings but Nathan thinks brown and white. When it dries, we shall see. 

I have to stay up till 7am. I am making coffee and toast then I crawl into bed after being awake literally with no sleep for 2 days plus. So, if my updates are non existent for Hallie and Nami till the afternoon, please understand all is well. I am just hungry and sleeping. I tried to put my battery into my card reader. I am that tired. I also delivered the pups where Nathan finished them off as he came down after they arrived. He needed to be with the dogs. Dennis is with some and Nathan with the rest.

Pups are fat, eating and Momma Hallie is a proud momma as you will see in the gallery. She already ate an entire can of mousse. She has been vomiting but drinking water off and on all day. This is normal. So she was thirsty and hungry. 

Here are the pups a couple of hours old eating well. I will add more photos to the gallery that I created for the birth as its only hours apart.

Congrats to all, once again. I thought I remembered that her x-rays showed 2. if so I guess they're not always clear. The boy looks like his markings will be gorgeous, but of course, they will all be gorgeous.

I had a hard time posting a comment earlier. They are beautiful pups and good weights as well. I guess they had lots of room to gain. ❤️❤️❤️
