When I woke on Sunday morning I felt happier than I have in a while. It dawned on me that I have been pretty stressed and worried about Greta all during this pregnancy. So today when I opened my eyes and looked down into the whelping box and saw Greta and her happy and healthy pack of babies, I just smiled! What a beautiful sight! Greta and her babies!
I lay there in the early morning hours and watched the puppies suckle on their mother’s teat. I watched their little pink tongues wrap around the nipple and occasionally a little bit of milk rim the mouth.
Greta washed them and snuggled them and I could see in her body language the ancient bonding of mother and baby. Oh, she is such a good mother to her little puppies.
The puppies are pretty active. They spend a lot of time eating and then they sleep. Occasionally one will climb away from the pack, but is soon brought back to the fold, usually by me.
How wonderful to have babies back in the house!
I love to see them eating and snuggling with their Mommy! They are just so special and so beautiful! I wish I was there. Love YOU, Mel
no wonder Greta’s belly was dragging. I am glad all turned out well. nothing like a new baby in the house…..
They are darling!
OMG! They’re sooooo adorable.
They all look gorgeous! 🙂
After a weekend away, I see I missed a lot! Congrats on the new babies and I’m glad they were all delivered safely and healthy! I bet Greta is glad to be done with that pregnancy!
They are truly adorable. How is Grete after her operation? I had a C-section for my kids, so I can’t help but think that I wouldn’t be up to five of them right afterwords!!!
Cute!!!
yes, how nice to have puppies again..because you’ve gone without for so long? 🙂
I love them. All of them. When do we get to vote on the names?
How adorable, I would love to watch them too, I just saw your photos on Flickr !
