Ghira
waiting for Dad to throw the stick! The easiest way to get a nice
"stacked" look! :P
|
Ever
alert for wildlife Ghira returns with her stick while scanning
the fields.
|
|
|
|
|
Ghira
looks content in her box and it's not even finished yet!
|
Ghira
settles in while Dad puts the final touches on it.
|
|
|
|
|
My
bunk is set up next to Ghira's. The waiting begins.
|
Ghira
moved from the floor into her box.
|
|
|
|
|
The
pups are arriving! :) This was Connie's
(Ron's daughter)
first whelping experience, she was amazing help! :D
|
Early
in the night before exhaustion and worry set in! ;)
|
|
|
|
|
Three
newborns keep warm on a heating pad in the puppy box while the
newest one arrives.
|
Whelping
is done, Ghira resting with her nine puppies.
|
 |
 |
|
The
white dots identify the pups until we put their coloured collars
on them!
|
After
14 hours of labour I'm happy just to hang out with the beautiful
family.

I have to stay in here with these brats?"

"If
I stand on my tippy-toes I think I can get a snack."
|
|
|
|
|
"C'mon
Mom, help me out here!"

Momentary
success is made until Ghira walks away again! LOL
