Puppies!!

On March 15th, Lady had her puppies. She wasn't technically due for another day or two but the pups were ready! 

Disclaimer; some photos may be graphic since she is giving birth! 

Her first was born with our help, we use a kiddie pool as our birthing pen and puppy pen.  Lady was super mom! I'm helping break open the sacs and she cleaned those babies up fast. 

She had the first 3 pretty quick, maybe 10 minutes apart. I'm checking to see if there are anymore moving around inside...yup! 

Ella was a great helper. She was there for almost every birth.

Lady nursing the just born pups, while still in active labor. Nursing will help speed up the birthing process and there were a few more still inside.

Ella and I waiting for #4...

The first 3 are fat and healthy.

She had a total of 5 healthy, fat little babies! 3 girls and 2 boys. We were expecting maybe 3, so this was an awesome surprise! 

Lady all done and feeding babies. She did great and those pups were nursing like pros.
