FrenchesBassets: Happy Birthday Puppies!!!!!

We have 8 beautiful and healthy puppies!! They and Mama are doing great. I tell you, Pickles is such a pro and awesome mother. No major changes happened from about 8am yesterday until about 10pm. Around 10 she started to get sick to her stomach. After the second round of cleaning everything up (about 11:30 or so), we headed to bed for a little while just to get some rest for the long night ahead. As in the past, we were expecting Pickles to make some type of noise so we'd know it was getting close to time for delivery... Well, instead we woke up to puppies crying! We ran in there about 12:45 and there were two puppies! Pickles had done such a great job and didn't ever make a peep. The other 6 came within 3 hours, so it was fairly quick. She never made a peep, just took care of the pups while we took care of her and the little ones.

She has been eating and drinking very well, as well as gotten up out of the bed a couple of times to walk around outside. I am so thankful for all of these gifts!

Now, about the pups... they are just so adorable! So soft and they make the sweetest noises. I feel so bad for them when they are first born, because they really do have such a hard time finding the nipples... it will be right in front of them and they are squeaking up a storm trying to find one! But in the end, they all do and are eating very well! Enjoy the pics below!
