Congratulations Dutchess!

Dutchess gave birth to her pups a week ago, but I am just now getting to the photos. She did an absolutely phenomenal job! We woke up Tuesday morning, she had a rather eventful potty break (she must have tinkled 15 times), and then the panting began. I was sitting at the computer waiting when I looked over and saw the first puppy (about 18 minutes after labor began). She did a great job with clean up and everything, and almost immediately Zaffle (we are affectionately calling him) began nursing. 20 minutes later, Dutchess stood and out popped Kiki. Same deal. The brothers are precious and the whole ordeal was textbook. They grow a little everyday and are actually pretty chubby little guys. They are both completely healthy! Dutch is an excellent mommy, and I hope she can have many more litters.
pd...Viewer discretion advised on the latter photos. It's the ugly truth.

  1. Hi again! I didn't know you had a sister, Meredith! Dutchess is so cute and looks like she is a great mama. Who is the puppies' daddy?
    Are you curious about your nephews or does Dutchess keep you away for now?
    Your pal,
    Sedona
