Well, I must say we've got a nice litter! First pup arrived @ 5 pm and last @ 10:10 for a total of 11 healthy and beautiful Black and Rust babies! And I'm pretty sure we're done. Unfortunately, and this is a first, we're short one girl as the litter leans heavily on the male side with 8 boys and 3 girls. I've read all of your comments but have yet to hear from Alejandro and Peggy. With that said, maybe I'm not short a girl. I'll try and reach them by phone tomorrow but if anyone who's on the list for a girl has an interest in switching to a boy, by all means send me a note to that effect.
All pups are eating and getting around their little habitat well and all appear to be roughly the same size. Majestic is doing a superb job at mothering! She's a fabulous dog!!! She looks a little on the thin side so it's going to be beef liver and chicken for her on top of her kibble for the next couple weeks. Not that I'm concerned about her... more that I know she's got a big job ahead of her and I want to make sure she's not lacking in any way shape or form.
I snapped a slew of photos throughout the day and will go through them tomorrow and upload some of the better ones. I also managed to log what time each pup was born and applied their newborn collars. I know from past experience some people like to know where their pup placed in the birthing process so I'll make note of that as well. Until then... goodnight!
