Hi! We’re happy to announce the arrival of……11 puppies! Goldie gave birth yesterday to 8 males and 4 females, all now healthy and thriving. Unfortunately, the last puppy didn’t make it, but we are grateful for the 11 others that did. Goldie is doing well but is tired and worn out. I’m hoping that tomorrow she will have gained back some of her energy as well as her appetite, which has understandably diminished these last few days. Her labor lasted around seven hours, beginning at four in the afternoon and ending a little after one in the morning. It was a long night and long day full of laundry and feedings, so hopefully this will be a restful night for us all! We’re so happy that we have found perfect homes for these puppies, and I’m looking forward to helping Goldie raise them for the first eight weeks of their lives and to meeting their future owners. Thanks!! Tess
This was before they were all born:
We like to use a heating pad underneath a towel in the basket for the puppies. Especially good for calming down anyone crying or antsy!
Here’s the full brood nearly a day old.
