1/3/2005 Beauty goes into labor
Like many first time moms, Beauty wasn't sure what to do when the first pup was born. So Mark ripped the sac, and put the pup up to her so she could clean it off. She had two pups pretty close together, then stopped.
Once this happened, Mark took her out on leash for a little walk. That often stimulates the pups to move further down the birth canal. That did it, and soon after returning to the whelping box, Beauty popped out 2 more.
When I got home from work, I found my 6'2" husband
trying to lay down on the little fold out cot I use in the puppy room. He is a good sport!
When Mark takes Beauty out for a potty break, I clean
up the whelping box, and put in a fleece liner. Beauty doesn't want to be away from her new family for long, so I have to work fast! I put the colored collar bands on them as well.
final count is 1 liver girl, 2 liver boys, 3 black boys, and 4
black girls.
The last three pups born are liver.
Beauty is done having her pups, and takes time out to get
something to eat
