Again, Natascha delivers on the 57 night. This time instead of beginning at 1am… She began in late afternoon around 5:45pm. Pups came at different intervals and some were a bit difficult. 1 came out butt first, another came out with paws and legs up around by the face making more difficult to birth.
Overall, the Mother, Natascha and puppies are doing very well. Each pup weighs close to same weight as the others all very strong, healthy and hungry. Natascha is taking straight to them this year and is not needing much assistance in tending to the babies.
Not much sleep in this house in past 24 hours as we have been up all night and morning with the mom and pups.
