Puppies!

Early on Wednesday March 3, Elektra went into labor. This is her second litter, and she did GREAT!! I love being in the whelping box to help her. Especially since she does most of the work, and I get to hold the tiny puppies.

We let the boys stay home from school, so that they could be part of it. They went to school, just before lunch time. Ashton is a GREAT helper. He gets in there and helps clean them up, and keep them warm.

Elektra delivered 7 healthy puppies. 2 Males and 5 Females. Here are the puppies all curled up with each other, just after the last one was born.

All the puppies have been sold (yes, it took me this long to post it!). They all went home between 7 & 9 weeks.
