We were just getting ready to leave for church this afternoon when noticed that Sasha had ONE puppy already born! Something must have happened before we got to her because it's little arm was broken and the bone sticking out. We called the vet and he said to just bring it to him tomorrow and give it a drop of tylenol! So we put a bandaid on it to try to splint it a little bit.This was sure an experience! She started digging a hole a couple of days ago. Actually, a couple of holes! Today at noon I took a picture of her huge tummy. We thought that they would be born around March 6-8.
Her third puppy was dead and right away she started to eat it and bury it.
Edson and Sasha are such good friends that I have to practically pry him away from the puppies and Sasha. He is so excited.
Well, she is up to 5 as of right now! We thought she was done so we put all the puppies up to her to be fed and all of a sudden she got kind of nervous once again and started pushing all the puppies away. We grabbed them all safely away just as another one was born.
Hmmm. I wonder if we are even going to sleep tonight...

She's DONE! Her last one was born at 11:45pm! All seven of them are cuddling with their mom. Whew! Now we can go to bed, too.
You might have gone to bed, but what an experience! Wonder if the excitement kept anyone wide awake for awhile just thinking about it?
Congratulations, Sasha. How many of the 7 will you keep? Let us know what happens to the one with a broken bone. I can imagine that was hurting all night long, poor thing.
As soon as we put 2 bandaids on the break, she stopped whining and seems to be okay. The vet didn't seem to worried about it either. Plus, it's female...sorry to say...no one wants those!
Man, here EVERYONE wants a female. That's where the monies are! Guardame uno? :)
Edson should be careful too...she might start getting extra protective.

Seven puppies- I'd watch out for Edson not to get too attached by his heart strings, as well as watching out for an over protective mamma dog.
Wow- that makes for a very exciting night1
J - this time they weren't full bred...her mate was from Ña Rubia's house. We were travelling right around that time and just left it up to her. They aren't the original Bull Terriers...this time.
Congratulations on your babies :)
Did she have all boys? I remember when you sent her away when I was in Paraguay.
She got pregnant in January and had them 60 days later. Last time (when you were here) she didn't have any.
Oh my.....puppies!
