I knew things were starting Friday night at bedtime, so I put Fire in the whelping area when I went to bed, thinking that she would bark or howl to wake me up to help her whelp. Nope. Here is what I woke up to Saturday morning…twelve clean and healthy puppies! Nine boys and three girls.

Fire and the “O” Litter
I had only taken five deposits since she’d had a smaller litter last year, so I’ve been working through contacts and finding some great homes all across the country for these little ones.
This morning I took them to my vet at Heartland Pet Hospital just down the hill for their tail docking and dew claw removal. Dr. Kliewer said that everyone looks healthy and vibrant. All twelve are still going strong after two days, so that is a good sign. I don’t see any of them at risk for fading away on us.

“O” Litter at the vet
I will keep this blog post updated as I fill the last two male puppy reservation spots for the “O” Litter.
