Lyric is a mommy!!

Sorry to keep you all in suspense but I have had no time to write! Lyric went through a long night of pacing and panting, but at 4:30 am, things got more serious. By 6:15, she was ready to give birth and hoped right into the whelping box--she made two grunts and out popped puppy #1 --a gorgeous all black male. 15 minutes later, we had a beautiful FAT apricot female followed by another black male with two white feet. The fourth baby was a cream colored girl with some darker areas--almost a grey color--but she was half the size of the others and wasn't sucking strong enough to get food. She is a feisty determined little girl, though and kept trying. We knew we would have to help her out as soon as we had time. Within another 15 minutes (now 1 1/2 hours total) we had another cream colored pup, but larger and a male. This one has lots of greyish spots all over. So, that's the five I was expecting, but Lyric was still panting and Marci was convinced that there was one more pup in there--sure enough, 1/2 hour later, the most adorable black and white pup emerged! We really wanted a particolor like Remi, the dad, and this boy fits the bill. So, 4 boys and 2 girls--cross your fingers for the little one. I am bottle feeding her right now, so no sleep for me! Lyric did sooo well and is a great mom.

OK--let's get to the pictures!

Look at the size difference between the two females over on the right--yikes!. 6 1/2 oz. and 14 oz. There are 6 puppies in there, but the two black ones blended together!

More tomorrow--must get some zzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Comment by Ellen aka BeauBeau's Mom on January 1, 2011 at 3:20pm: I agree with Lucy and Sophie's Mom: Lyric looks so happy and proud! I'm rooting and praying for the little one too.....Beau was the "little one" of his litter, and look at him now! I hope that the extra love and attention will bring her through. Just be careful and watch her....you know what happened in the wild to the runt, right?
