They're finally here! Henley went through a lot for these little puppies to get here but they are all healthy and happy now. 6 puppies in all- 3 boys and 3 girls! Henley had to have a c-section the puppies were huge for her little body, i don't even know how they fit in there. One of the little boys struggled to be here, but after a lot of rubbing and clearing out his mouth and getting him to exercise those little lungs, he survived! We were worried about Henley at first because she took a long time to wake up and when she did, she wouldn't even look at her puppies. Poor Henley, she went to sleep and woke up hurting and with 6 little puppies crying and sucking on her. She probably thought "Where did these things come from?" But, later that night, after some love and attention and care from her mommy (that's me!), she was ready herself to be a mom. I layed her down in her bed and helped the pups latch on and she started smelling and licking them! Now, she's a natural, she keeps them fed and warm, and clean and protected. We tried to introduce one of our other dogs, Roxy, to the puppies but Henley wouldn't let her get near them. She's such a good mom!
