All by herself...

So, Shadow finally had her *puppies* on Sunday evening. I was kind of disappointed because she ignored all of the whispers I have been telling her all along throughout the pregnancy. Instead of lots of puppies, with some big, strapping boys to choose from (for my new show male), she gave me one little girl.

I am still happy though because it was touch-and-go there for a little while with the little red-flower-girl (named for her bead colour), but she seems strong and healthy as of yesterday, and she is starting to get the hang of nursing by herself. We were worried for a while because it was a long time for the little girl to be in the birth canal, since Shadow gave up pushing (b/c it hurt!), and little girl was breach (backwards). We couldn't even break the sack to help her breath. Rough start when you almost drown on your way out into the big world.

Shadow is hating the whelping box, and much prefers to be in the bed with her puppy, which is sometimes dangerous for flower-girl as Shadow gets very into cleaning her and has nearly licked her right off the bed a few times now. However, she does love her puppy now that she is here and we hope that her milk stays in despite having only one little puppy to feed. The alternative is quite a bit of work!

Anyways here are some pics of little red-flower-girl, for anyone who is interested. This is my first blog, and I thought I would try Weimies, since they seem to be the things most constant right now. Although I will blog about the horses as well, and what ever else I feel like.
