It's a miracle!

Watching Zoie give birth to her four pups was truly a miracle! She knew exactly what to do. She had all 4 puppies between 12:30am and 5:30am Sunday morning, June 6th.

 

 This is a week before she had puppies. Can't really tell but she was pretty big!


Zoie 4 days after having pups. Such a trooper! She's been such a good mama. Whenever a puppy whines she goes running to check on them!


Saturday night I was working at the Greenery. I came home to Kip, my mom, and 3 sisters, Emily, Ashley, and Amy. Earlier that night, about 8:30, Zoie's water broke. We knew the puppies were on their way! 
Above is boy puppy #1. He came out breach, and we were told if that happens we'd have to help her get the pup out. I'm pretty sure we unnecessarily freaked out right off the bat, but in the end the pup came out just fine. It took Zoie a minute to figure out what to do, but she got right to cleaning! They snuggled right up until it was time for #2.


Time between #2 and #3 was pretty short, so I feel awful I didn't get one of #2 right after. Sorry for the kinda nasty picture, there could have been worse, trust me! Pup #2, a boy, is also black and white, laying on top of pup #1 at the top of this picture above. Pup #3, yet another boy, is dark brown like is dad!


And this is pup #4, a little girl! Also dark brown like her dad. She was the last born, about 5:30am.


Love this picture! Like mother like son!


This little guy is one of my favorites! Of course they're all my favorite, but I love the white tip on his tail!


All 4 snuggled up! This is how they are when mom isn't around. I can't wait until their little eyes open and they are playful! It's going to be a fun 6 to 8 weeks while we have them!

We will be selling all 4 pups. Pricing is to be determined, but let me know if you're interested! For now, we're enjoying our time being grandparents!

I love them. I'm excited for them to keep growing. I want to play with them. Pretty sure we'll be over this weekend after your race to hang with the grandpups.
