penny's pups!

it was a cold and snowy morning....

penny was awake most of the night from discomfort. about 5:30am she drove me out of bed to take her out for a potty break. by the time we were back in bed she was completely restless and about half an hour later i knew something was happening.

her first pup arrived around 6:20am and she was a very attentive mother doing all the right things in the right order. by the time he began to nurse she was nearly ready to deliver the next pup. the second and third pups were delivered almost back-to back with only a few minutes rest between them. the delivery was complete by 7:35am. she had a bit of agitation before 8am when she finally lay down and let the pups nurse. we think the pen may have been too warm for her.

there are 3 healthy boys happily nursing.
