Puppies!! Episode II: Arrival of the G's

Well, so much for my promise to blog as soon as something started to happen! :P Sorry about that. Della went into labor yesterday, Oct 24th. Because she is such a good girl she again had a daytime birth. The first puppy popped out around 1:45 PM. They were coming about every hour until after puppy number 3 (purple). At a whopping 1 pound 3 ounces, he was the cork that was slowing us down, as the next 3 puppies were born within the next hour!! This litter was a big one with weights ranging from 14 3/4 ounces to our 1# 3 oz bruiser. Della's last litter were all under a pound each. Labor went very smoothly and Della finished up at 8:19, in time for us to kick back and watch the new episode of Pushing Daisies (greatest show on TV today!!!). All together we had 10 puppies again, 5 black and 5 yellow. There are 3 boys and 7 girls and all 3 boys are black. I will try to post some pics this evening.

Congrats!! I can't wait to see photos. :)

I think her birth was so easy because with 10 big puppies you're going to be busy the entire 7-8 weeks. ;)
