On Tuesday we got our official puppy count x-ray and the vet saw 9 little tiny skulls and back bones all tucked up inside Mallow… plus a lot of poop haha.
Now, puppies are likely coming within the next 36 hours. We are thinking that their birthday will probably be September 28th! This morning, her temperature dropped, and now she has just started Stage 1 labor. She’s currently “nesting” in the rose bush in the backyard, where she has dug a perfect burrow for the babies. Don’t worry, though, her whelping box inside is all ready. I just read somewhere that it’s good to let mamas dig a little if they want.
We have a camera set up but have not figured out a good way to stream the babies yet. However, we should be sharing video with our future puppy families. Additionally, I have just finished up my deposit and sales agreement – so we can officially start taking deposits for these sweet little marshmallows.
