Bille's puppies are born!
Bille surprised us with an early labor. I had estimated it would be at least 5 more days out, but mother nature had other ideas! On Thursday, December 29th, Bille started early labor around 9 am, and then gave birth to 4 puppies between 4:30 and 6:20 pm. She did wonderfully well, especially since this is her first litter. She knew how to do everything perfectly. And she has been the perfect mom. She's been eating ice cream and homemade chicken, rice and veggies to keep her strength up. She won't leave the whelping pen so she eats in there. She had one boy, all white, and three girls, all black and white. They are all nursing well and are very healthy. I'm so grateful.
