Fantasy Pups
Marshmellow whelps her pups!
My son took her temperature earlier this week and saw that it had fallen, a sign that great things were sure to come. We contacted my daughter who came right over to keep vigil. Soon Marshmellow began preparing for the delivery by retreating to her den. We moved her to the whelping box, and by 1:55pm the first little pup had arrived! It's a boy! The proud mama (or "dam" as she is called) was cleaning her baby up. Twenty minutes later, another little boy had arrived. My daughter called my son, who rushed home from work to assist in the deliveries. At 3:52pm my son was delivering the third little boy. Our one and only little girl was born at 4:45, followed by two more boys at 5:30pm and 7pm respectively. Instinct is a marvelous thing! Marshmellow knew immediately what she needed to do with each new pup. And she refused to leave their sides, requiring us to bring all her food and water directly to the whelping box. I didn't mind: I was anxious for the excuse to peer in at the six little tikes!
