I hope your son recovers steadily - sounds like a calm, peaceful day is needed by all of you. If Papaya is that close to whelping it looks like a small litter - perhaps time to start taking her temperature if she will let you?

 

[cowpony]

Oh no. I'm sorry about your son. I hope he's able to stay quiet and recover properly.

 

[ThePoodlesMoody]

Well now things are getting interesting.

 

[fjm]

Good lord - she hardly waited to get through your door! How are you all doing?

 

[Minie]

She is safe and comfortable. Wow. Adorable little thing.

#2 is here now. A boy and a girl so far. Wasn't quite set up yet! Whelping box arrives tomorrow.

They both just started nursing and I'm cranking my heat fast as I can! She won't let me leave and now she's covered me in birthing goodness. She basically sat in my lap to pop them out. I mean. Thanks but also ew lol

Surprise! 💝 So much for being a week away. Your son is going to have the best story when he goes back to school.

Sending waves of warmth and wellness for both your son and your new mom. Life always happens all at once! I think this makes you the honorary Grandma of those brand-new puppies!

Yay, y'all! But especially Papaya and you!

🥳

So cute! What a surprise, so glad she is with you. Do you have coloured collars so you can tell them apart? Are you weighing them? Should we have a guess at how many she will have?

 

[Starla]

Wow super fast! She certainly didn’t get the memo about giving you a break, huh? Maybe there won’t be too many since she didn’t look BIG yet.

 

[ThePoodlesMoody]

She's up to four now! All have been around 12 oz, except for Mr Chonker who was 15.4 oz. I had to scramble to find ribbons since whelping collars weren't supposed to arrive til friday.... lol

Last boy was breech but seems to be doing just fine.

 

[Liz]

How is mama doing?

 

[Oonapup]

Oh my gosh!! You’re going to be busy! But the cuteness!!

 

[TerraFirma]

WHOA. Four pups total? So glad she didn't drop a massive litter on you. phew.

As a college basketball fan, These puppers are ringing in March Madness - it's the "First Four" play-in games tonight! I recommend basketball themed names!!! Although fruit would be cute too.

 

[ThePoodlesMoody]

We weren't done! I knew she had more to go. We're up to 5 now - four boys and one girl.

She's doing well. The last pup took a bit more effort because he weighed over a pound. She isnt totally comfortable, so I dont know that she's done yet. At the very least she has to deliver the latest placenta still.

 

[Poofy]

Oh how exciting!!

I just had a litter of six kittens born yesterday, four boys and two girls. I wonder if you will end up with the same ratio?

Sending prayers for mama, pups, and you!

 

[PeggyTheParti]

You and Papaya make a great team. Well done. 👏👏👏

 

[94Magna_Tom]

Wow! Surprise!! Congratulations Papaya and Gradma! I hope everyone is doing well!

 

[Rose n Poos]

Wow! Now that's timing! Hope all are still doing well 🙏.
