Our Second Litter!

Hooray!! Our second litter is here! We had eight puppies born to Lou and Skrewt on January 4th, 2021. It was the perfect way to start off a new year! 

Lou had been laboring all day on January 3rd. She was restless, clingy, and nesting. We had been monitoring her temperature for the week leading up to the birth, and when it finally dropped below 100 degrees, we knew the time was coming. We checked on her regularly, but it didn't seem like anything was progressing. We knew that labor can take anywhere from 12-24 hours, so we weren't worried. We knew that if she hadn't given birth by the morning of the 4th, we were all ready to call the vet. We woke up on the 4th to 8 beautiful puppies, already cleaned and fed. Lou did such a great job! We aren't sure what time the puppies were born, but it was sometime in the middle of the night.

We had the dew claws removed on January 6th. It was there that we found out that we have 5 little girls and 3 little boys. This was a little bit of a shock since the last litter only had one girl. We are so thrilled!
