The Puppies Are Here!!

Oh. My. Lands. Guys.. look at these sweet puppies! Ruby birthed 8 babies yesterday morning/afternoon. Rodney checked her temp before he left for work and noticed it was at 97.5. When a female is getting ready to whelp her temp will drop. A normal temp for a pregnant female is 99-101. We knew then that she was ready to go within less than 24 hours. I was nervous because I’ve never delivered puppies on my own! Even though I knew Ruby was totally capable of doing everything on her own, I was still freaking out a little. It was all for nought though. The labor went flawlessly and all the puppies came out strong and healthy. I’m so proud of Ruby, she did amazing. Now the work begins…
