Boy, Boy, Girl, Boy, Girl, Girl

We just got back from the vet where Celeste delivered 6 melt-your-heart perfect pups naturally with a little help from some Oxytocin. Weights range from 10 ounces to 15 ounces, with no runt, and a big healthy girl at the top. Three boys and Three girls, delivered boy - boy - girl - boy - girl - girl, so the ladies made a big come back at the end to tie it all up.

They are just so boisterous and beautiful. I am SO proud of Celeste, she is a stellar mom and really handled everything with aplomb while the human part of the equation fussed and freaked. Her first pup was cleaned and on a teet before I knew what happened and each was delivered pink and screaming. All toes accounted for, not so much as a hair out of place, and plenty of milk is now flowing to these healthy gulpers.

Truly an amazing occasion. I'll post some photos later, but just wanted to share the good news.

Cheers,

Christopher & Family
