Well, after a marathon delivery, Lily and I are happy to announce that we were blessed with eight beautiful baby boxer puppies!
The first puppy was delivered at 4:40pm on Saturday, May 29th and the final puppy was delivered this morning, Sunday, May 30th at 4:10am. To say it's been a long two days is an understatement.
On the upside, Lily was amazing...she never quit, never hesitated and although her pace was slower than molasses in January, she delivered her last puppy with more strength and energy as she did her first. Watching Lily whelp these puppies was a rare privilege...she never gave up - not once.
These are the treasures we were awarded for our hard work...
Four girls/four boys...four fawn/four brindle
How sweet is that??
1. A plain fawn girl - 15.3oz
2. A flashy brindle girl - 10.5oz
3. A plain fawn boy (flashy mask/plain body) - 15.3oz
4. A plain brindle girl - 14.8oz
5. A plain fawn male - 15.3oz
6. A plain fawn male - 12.5oz
7. Plain brindle girl - 14oz
8. Plain brindle male - 13.1oz
Now that Lily's delivery job is done, she's been napping and snacking since this morning. :) She's a good momma - all the babies have fat bellies and happy tails.
As for me, I went for a nap at 9am and got up at noon. It's time for another nap for me! Photos to follow when I get a minute or two...It's clean up time!
