Puppies have arrived

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I took my family on a long over due vacation. We haven't gone away together in 5 years. So this two week vacation was so much fun. We enjoyed the sun and all the activity of Florida.  So many memories were made and my children bonded in new ways. Some fears were concored and lots of laughs were had by all. Great vacation all around.

Found out Tuesday via xray that Yazmen is having 6 puppies.

Yesterday Yazmen was very quiet. She stayed on the couch and only moved from one side to the other. I knew it was time. So after the family went to bed, I sat with her and massaged her belly and talked to her. I brought her whelping box into the livingroom from the nursery and she climbed right in. It always amazes me how once they have had a litter they just know to go into the whelping box.

She just sat there looking deep in thought. So I tried to get some rest. Yeah anyone that has sat with a dog in labor know that is not going to happen. It is a very noisey and busy process of preperation.  Yazmen moaned a little and was such a trooper. She makes it look easy.

Cleaned up the whelping box and moved Yaz and her babies into the nursery. Gave Yaz some food and water. Daughter is off to school and hubby and sons are getting ready for work.  Now I am going to get a couple hours sleep before I have to go and change Yaz's bed again and give her more food. Pictures to come soon.
