Puppies Doing Great

Day three and the puppies are all gaining weight and doing well.  We started the Bio Sensor program tonight.

With the help of my boys and my mom, we named the puppies alphabetically in birth order (well, for the c-section group, we made up the order):

Puppies arrived!

We have nine healthy babies!  The first five were born in the wee hours of the morning, June 25th.  The next four came via c-section several hours later.

3 mantle males
2 mantle females
2 piebald males

Mom & babies are all doing great!

Kizzy Pregnancy Progression – Day 41

Kizzy at Day 41:

Pregnant Great Dane

I think she looks huge already.  Went through some old pictures of her mom, Skyy, while pregnant (with Kizzy!) and found a Day 41 image of her:

Have an x-ray scheduled for June 16th, which will give us an idea of how many babies Kizzy has in store for us.

Decided to forgo an ultrasound, based on an already obvious growing belly!

Ever modest, below is a normal position for Miss Kizzy.  I think she is trying to bake the babies in the sun!
