They're Here!!!

Boy oh boy! Lucy must be exhausted because I know we are! Lucy had 10 beautiful chocolate puppies yesterday. We started around 1:30 in the afternoon(our first daytime delivery!) and ended around 11:30pm. Lucy did great and delivered 5 healthy girls and 5 healthy boys. We have spent all morning holding and cuddling these precious babies.



I have a few pictures to post. Individual pics will be next, but probably not until tomorrow. We're going to give mom and puppies some time to bond.

Enjoy the sweet puppies!!

Today's The Day...Maybe!

Well, we think that today may be the day that the puppies arrive. We are so excited! Lucy has been very restless today, panting and scratching at the papers that we have in her whelping box. Her temperature has gone down from 100.7 to 98.6, and that usually indicates puppies in the next 24 hours.

I posted some pictures of Lucy in her whelping box and of her big belly!! We will post again shortly after the puppies arrive and let everyone know how puppies and mom are doing.

Getting The Puppy Room Ready

Well, we we were all hanging out in the puppy room today getting things together for when the puppies arrive. There are many supplies needed for whelping time that I always get ready at least a week before the expected delivery date just in case! There is nothing worse then a puppy coming when you are not prepared!

I took a few pictures while we were working. The kids are giving Lucy a nice scratch and massage..I'm sure she loves that! Then there's Lucy just hanging out.

In the next few days we will be bringing the whelping box in. We'll put some comfy blankets in there so Lucy can lay in the whelping box comfortably and get used to it in advance of the puppies coming. We are all counting down the days. I think we are going to place some bets on the date and number of puppies. We'll see who comes closest!!

Lucy's Big Belly

Lucy's belly has gotten so big over the last few days. It is amazing how she can be trim and and look completely not pregnant one day and then the next day she looks huge! It is hard to believe that she only has about 2 weeks left. It has gone by so fast.

Although we are usually so busy with school and sports and all the other things that go along with this time of year that the Fall pregnancy's do tend to go by in the blink of an eye. We are so excited. We are looking forward to holding those tiny puppy bodies!!
