Puppies Have Arrived!

The Puppies are here! Saturday was quite eventful. Moko and I spent the morning delivering her puppies, seven of them. It was a huge surprise to get such a large litter, even the x-ray didn't predict that many. We sadly lost one puppy, which was not born alive. So now we have six, five of which are in good health, and one which is about half the size of the others so he needs some special love. We feel incredibly blessed to have so many new puppies here to celebrate. They are unbelievably cute and sweet.

 Moko is an amazing mama. Here is a photo of them on day one just a few hours after they were delivered.

X-Ray

Here is the X-Ray that was taken (side view) of Moko's big belly! We are so excited for the pups! I'm not going to say how many we think there are, but feel free to make your own guesses! The good news is that Moko looks healthy, and that there is definitely more than 1-2 so we are not going to need to plan on a c-section. :) Hurray!

Big Belly

This is a photo of our girl taken yesterday of her big pregnant belly. She is still 2 1/2 weeks from her due date but boy is her belly getting big! She will be taken next week to get an X-Ray so we can hopefully learn how many puppies she has to deliver. She is going to make a great mamma. 

How we learned, and Due date info.

We came back from a  two week vacation to Hawaii to find Moko very pregnant! We weren't completely shocked, we knew the doggies had "tried" we weren't sure of the results. We think that they were successful much due to our friends Janaea and Sammy for watching them (on two occasions)while we have been away! We now consider Sammy and Janaea the official breeders of our dogs!

Gestation is 62-63 days so Moko will be due April 30-May 1.
