The Puppies Arrive!

Male Puppy #1 arrives
and gets right to nursing
Monday morning, June 25th Daisy Mae started to have contractions and woke us up at 2:30 AM by licking Tim's hand and whining a little.  Tim settled Daisy comfortably in her whelping box, woke Angie up and the first little puppy arrived at 4:50 AM!  He was a beauty at 13.8 oz., don't you think?  One right after another they came and by 11:59 AM she had given birth to 10 puppies!  Four females and six males.  The smallest puppy (female) was 10 oz. and the largest (male) was nearly 18 oz!  Puppies and Daisy went to the veterinarian's office that afternoon for their first check up and the doctor declared them all beautiful and healthy!


We're up to three puppies!  Two boys and one girl 

...and now we have EIGHT!

we keep a heating pad in the whelping box in case they
 wander too far from Mama and need a warm place to lay
