The puppies are here!

As I'm sure most of you know now, the puppies are here. Eight of them to be exact!

As promised, my next post would hopefully contain some puppy pictures so here they are:



Here is the first puppy being born. At this point, he was just a couple of minutes old. His arrival took us somewhat off guard though as she just produced him without any real warning!


The birth went fairly well. We had some problems with the first puppy being born and in particular the last one. It was touch and go for a while with her whether or not she would survive. However, after a bit of resuscitation from me, we managed to keep her.



I think this is one of my favourite pictures of the puppies so far. I love how they line up and suckle like this!


Here's the first born called Riley this morning having a cuddle from Jenna!


As I mentioned above, a couple of them have names already. We've now got most of the names lined up but we just have to assign them to a puppy!

These next few days are pretty important so I'm holding my breath at the moment as there is a possibility of losing some of them. For now though, they seem to be doing well so lets hope it stays that way!
