Time Flies!

It is Sunday, December 6, and Molly's pups are 4 days old!

Molly had a turbulent, complicated labor and was ultimately not able to deliver the pups. A terrified Sandy Bookman took Molly into West Park Animal Hospital for an emergency C-Section, terrified that all puppies might have been lost. In fact, four healthy puppies were delivered. Three girls and one boy. And there was great celebration!

One of the pups looks like Molly, the other three appear to be sable with white toes and white bellies and chests. They have short noses. Some have extra rear toes. We docked the tails, so as to improve their adoptability.

Molly recognized Sandy right away when she went into WPAH to visit the evening of the birth. She was a very happy dog. The next evening, mother and pups returned to the Mudpuppy Inn, to a beautifully appointed Puppy Suite. Mother Molly settled right in, and pups attached- and never seem to do anything but nurse!

The C-section was hard on Molly, and her appetite has suffered, and she has not been feeling too well, but she has been taking beautiful care of her babies. The vets and WPAH are reassuring that she is OK, and it will take some time for her to bounce back.

It will be fun to watch the little pups grow and develop-- to see what they become.
