We have puppies!

So Trina my son's girlfriend calls and says she thinks Zira is in labor but she's not exactly sure after she explains what's been happening I let her know that yep she sure is! So Trina loads up Zira in the truck and heads to town to pick up Alena from school we all kinda figure we have a little while before this happens. YAH right!

They get home around 3:20 and the first puppy was born close to 3:30 and about every 20-25 min after that a new puppy. Alena she's such a good girl, was right in the middle of it all helping and soothing Zira cleaning up the puppies and getting Trina extra towels and other things and watching Paityn too.

By the time I get home it's 5:30 and we have four puppies (2) red merles (2) black bi (just like daddy) and they are all BOYS! We had guessed around 3-4 puppies and being her first litter we figured that's a pretty good amount. So we are helping with the puppies and she's(Zira) is being such a mommy cleaning and being so protective of her puppies when people come over to see them.

I asked Trina to feel and make sure that she was done because I just didn't think she looked right, Paul feels and then I do and we all agree that her stomach shouldn't be so full still. So they decide to stay for dinner so that Zira can stay laying down and rest. So we get some dinner ordered I get laundry going and i'm playing with Paityn, Alena is getting ready for bible class and as I sit down to pet Zira I notice that her stomach starts to quiver and we know she's going to have another one. 6:30 and puppy #5 is here and it's a little blue merle girl!!! The little girl doesn't seem to want to breath very well and she's full of fluid and won't give even just a little squil so we are all on pins and needles waiting to hear something anything. Alena doesn't want to leave but really wants to go to bible class so I promise lots of text messages to keep her updated.

We eat, Alena goes to class and we are starting to clean things up and i'm looking for a box to get the puppies home in and clean towels to wrap them up and keep them warm cuz hey it's freezing here!!!

7:32 and puppy #6 arrives to the shock of us all! Another boy and he's black with a little white stripe down his face and white chest he's so cute.

So what an exicting evening all the puppies and mommy are doing fine.
