PUPPIES ARE HERE!!!!

PUPPIES WERE BORN THIS MORNING!  First one was born at 12:55 am and last one at 7:05 am....we have 9 pups - 5 girls and 4 boys.  Weights ranged from 10.2 oz down thru 9,1, 8.8, 7.4,7.0, 5.9 and 5.3. The two smallest are strong and vigorous and nursing well, but we watch them very closely and make sure they get prime seats at the milk bar. Jazz is an excellent momma dog and is working hard at keeping them all clean.  One boy, the largest and last one born, is a "patch" which means he has a black spot already....here is a picture of him...the patch is on the top of his head.

Here are some pix of Momma Jazz and her babies. (sorta hard to see all of them in these first pix)...

And Jay is relaxing at home and all ready to hand out cigars and a drink  to celebrate!

I will be visiting the pups tomorrow and will try to take better pictures to show the pups better and the blog will be updated at least twice a week from now on.
