Spy's puppies have arrived. Monday night at around 8PM Spy got into the whelping box and started an excessive amount of digging. I didn't think to much of it as her temperature had still not had dropped and Spy likes to dig before she settles in for the evening. But a little later I noticed her making some funny abdomen motions, just a small one. I just caught the end of it so I waited to see if it happened again. When it did, I went over to the box to check out Spy and she had a different look on her face and was in a very weird position. It was time to call in the puppy help. I called my friend and told her it looked like Spy was going into labor. When I looked back at Spy again and she was panting and contracting again, I knew it was time. Spy didn't waste to much time I had called my friend at 9PM and Spy had the first puppy girl at 10:30 and the second girl at 11PM on Monday August 29.
Both girls are doing good.
The puppy that was born first, the red collar puppy is a screamer. Whenever she is away from mom and needs to get back, she screams until she finds mom. The no collar is much quiter. (thank goodness)
Apparently I have been told the red collar puppy takes after her mother.
Who by the way is an awesome mother, but is sort of a diva mother.
If the puppy is to far away and is screaming, Spy cries, pokes her head out of the box, looks at me and cries for me to bring the puppy to her. Just like she does if she can't get to a toy.
Pictures to follow
