I don’t have pictures yet, but Velvet had 5 babies, and Miki had 6.  Both did well in their whelping experience.  Well, Velvet was last Sunday, so we have the Grammy litter for all puppies but 1.  Of course that was puppy number one.  His name is Camry!  He was born you know where!  This guy was a breach presentation, but looked like he wanted to wave hello before he was born.  I didn’t think she could whelp a leg/shoulder/head as this would be just too big.  And she tried, but couldn’t do it.  So we got in the car to go to the vet with blankets, towels, and a heater on full blast.  I was in the back seat with Velvet in a basket.  She must not have liked the MN winter bumpy roads, cause she got that boy out half way in less than 10 minutes.  She must not have wanted to see the vet much either.  So it was the hind leg that was the one waving, and he had to do a backwards swan dive over her pelvic bone to make his way into the world.  A little fast action and that boy was wriggling around like he had had no trouble with his olympic birth. 

Miki was 2 days later.  Her claim to fame is that she waited till 12:30am to have her first, and till 4am to be done.  I wasn’t the most awake at work the next day.  Don’t worry, my sister is here helping with all that is going on!
