Here Come the Babies......


Okay - so after we got Jordan and we shaved her - next step was to check her health. Actually it was very good - considering that she had been sitting in a dirty shelter for 6 weeks. She was heartworm negative, and had 6 puppies waiting to be born any day. She only had one flea - but did have tapeworms - which we couldn't treat due to the impending birth. She was just skin and bone and babies..... you could watch her sides and see the puppies moving!


So I set up a little nursery in my new laundry room. Put in a little kiddie pool and got a bunch of newpapers and towels and waited.....and waited and waited....


Finally Jordan decided that Saturday night would be the night! So here is the rest of the story.


1. 5:02 pm Male - Jethro - tan with a dark face - the biggest of the litter

2. 5:23 pm Female - Joya (born feet first) Mostly black with brown

3. 6:12 pm Male - Jeb - all black

4. 6:58 pm Male - Jack - reddish brown - the smallest of the litter

5. 8:35 pm Female - Janie - tan with black
