Whoa, just caught up on this thread; I cannot BELIEVE the buns are coming out of both the ovens at the same time!!! icon_yikes :lol: :lol:
It will be action-packed today and tonight; how exciting this is to follow along. That little boy has the cutest little markings on his back, like mirror images going from the pic. You have a lot of puppies ahead!

I am so tired I can't see straight. Toughest welping we ever had, mostly because it was 2. Final score:
Anna: 5: 3 girls, 2 boys, 6.5 to 8.1 oz
Star: 4 live: 2 girls, 2 boys, 1 born dead (#4 in birth order), 6.4 to 8.4 oz
With Star it is apparent that the ultrasound was way off, not sure what is going on there. Ultrasound does not always give an accurate count, but is not usually that far off. X-ray at about 5 days before welping is much more accrate, but we didn't want to stress out Star with as many as we thought she had.
Can't feel any more puppies and contractions have stopped completely. Going to bring both Anna and Star into the vet right away this AM to be sure there is nothing left. Unfortunately, if there is anything left, they will be dead. Very, very sad if there are any left and moms just ran out of gas.
On the bright side, moms and puppies are all doing well this morning. It is so nice to wake up in the middle on the night and hear an occaisional squeak. Anna's last boy was a real struggle, but he seems to be doing great too; thank God for the oxygen bottle.
I'll get pictures as soon as I can. More detail on Anna's deliveries in the journal. Thank you all for the positive thinking and encouragement. You have no idea how good it felt to read all the replies from all around the world. The internet truly is one of the great inventions of all time.

Congratulations to the moms Anna & Star I am sure they are exhausted.
Both you and Kris also, we were thinking of you constantly and praying everything would be okay.
I am very sorry to hear about the little one who did not make it, so sad.
It must of been overwhelming Bruce/Kris having the two of them whelp at the same time. Really glad to hear they are all doing good this morning.
Still thinking of you's.

Sorry to make everyone wait for pictures. Seemed like every time I thought I had a chance to take a few pictures, something came up that stopped me. I'll try to get pictures tonite after work.
BTW, this is the longest we have ever had to go between puppies being born. Not sure why it was so long in between births. Need to start asking some questions about that.
