Lyric's pups are here--Pictures!! UPDATE!
UPDATE:SEE MY LATEST COMMENT FOR TODAY'S CLOSE-UPS!
Wow--what a long two days--Lyric's labor started at around 12 am on Wednesday Feb 6th--she kept me up all night (didn't want to leave her alone just in case) and then I stayed with her all thru the day on Wednesday--it continued into the wee hours of Thursday morning--and she paced and panted but no progress....finally at 2 am, I said"OK Lyric, let's get in the whelping box and get this started". I went in and sat with her in the box and within 10 minutes her water broke--it is as if she was waiting for me to tell her what to do!
The first pup was born by 2:15 am--a lovely apricot female and then 5 more followed until 6:30 AM--3 boys, 3 girls--2 champagne colored, all others shades of apricot--so.... where is #7? We could clearly see 7 on the Xray--we waited and waited--Lyric rested comfortably while the pups ate and we saw a minor push now and then, but no pup--we were starting to get a bit concerned about this last pup--actually a LOT concerned and finally gave Lyric some oxytocin to increase the strength of her contractions at noon--10 hours after this all started. !5 minutes later, a beautiful healthy male pup came into view--PHEW!!!!!!! Lucky #7!! The breeder and I both cried --we were so happy to see that all was well...and everyone is doing well!
Here are some early pics!

My rose nose is my miracle pup--#7--I love him too-he is so calm...I guess he needed patience in order to wait that long to be born!

Boring us, you have to be kidding. When I come to you place I am stealing Mr. Rose Nose. He/ she is doodle perfection.

Lyric is so devoted...for about three weeks, then I have to take over, except for the nursing--she gives them 5 minutes, then she is outta there! But right now, she won't leave them any longer than it takes her to go out to relieve herself. I have to put the food under her mouth while she lies with the pups and I have to bring the water bowl to her--I am her handmaiden! I give her massages while she lays there---it is remarkable how much they change when the hormones kick in.....this is a dog that likes to guard the property, but if she has new pups, wild horses couldn't drag her away from that whelping box.

I'm so glad to hear that all went well with Lyric's delivery, although I was holding my breath while reading about that last little guy taking so long to arrive! Lyric looks like she has a tired smile on her face! I'll bet you had the same look! LOL Congrats to all of you and the little ones are just precious!
