Teeny Tiny

I think at times it is hard for people to realize how teeny tiny these puppies are. So while holding our littlest puppy (Mr Black) I took a good look at how tiny he is. His paw is smaller than my thumb and he can curl up in just one of my hands. Tiny tiny (he is struggling a little to gain some weight so we are helping out just a tad, he is a fighter!)

13 days before Christmas and all through the house

Not a creature was stiring not even Hula and the puppies. It is a snuggle-fest around here. The puppies stockings are hung by the whelping box with care in hopes that Santa PAWS will soon be here. It just doesn't get any better than this. Life is really good.

Four Peas in a Pod

We have all heard of two peas in a pod, well since Hula doesn't do anything small we have FOUR peas in a pod. These four golden nuggets decided the best place to rest was right on Mom. What is better than that. It is a pattern with this litter of puppies. They ALL love touching and being next to mom.

Love and Joy

Today was a day of getting into a routine, finding the best spots in the whelping box and for all the love and joy in the world to be present in this one tiny place in the world. Hula again is a wonderful mother and never misses a tender moment with her babies.

Oh Holy Night

And what a night it was. Unfortunately Hula needed help delivering her 8 tiny reindeer. Hula (via c-section) delivered 8 puppies all weighing in over a pound each (ok so not so tiny reindeer). We have 6 lovely little girls and 2 robust boys. Ho-Ho-Ho. Christmas came early. Thanks Santa, it is the best present ever.

8 Tiny Reindeers, a house full of elves., a bunch of Wisemen

Who knows?? I have a round about number but we will wait to announce when the puppies hit the ground. Hula is doing great and is as big as a house. Please keep her in your thoughts as she gets ready to bring JOY TO THE WORLD. (I found Hula under the tree, I think she is hoping Santa comes fast)

One More Time

That is right Miss Hula is about due to have puppies again. I have been keeping it to myself but now can share to everyone, Hula is due in just one short week. We find out tomorrow how many. I am saying 6 again. Hang on to your hats people puppies are coming. Also just so you know we are having difficulties with the web cam so hang in there with us!.
