Dewclaws removed
Went down to help Kim remove the dewclaws, and ended up removing them. Kim is just too tender hearted when it comes to her babies! Here are some new pics, I got some of their faces, its interesting how different they all look. I also tried to show just how tiny they really are

Pics of the puppies!

Ok finally got the pics.. they are so darn cute! Ella lines them all up together before she leaves the whelping box to get a drink or go potty. She's such a good mommy!

Need a Puppy fix?
I would really like to set something up like this in the future as Kim and I continue down the road of breeding dogs. This family really understands how to raise healthy puppies in a family environment. It breaks my heart to see puppies and dogs stuck in cages with no interaction with their human family.

Puppies are here
They have finally arrived, 2 boys that are brown ad 2 girls that are white. All weighed in at a whopping 4 ounces! They are named Chocolate, Brownie, Sugar and Caramel. One littly puppy didn't quite form completely, and Sugar was born awhile before Kim realized Ella was having babies. (It was 1am!) But she got her going and they all had dinner and are resting peacefully. Pics to come :)
**Correction Caramel is a boy! So that's 3 boys and one little princess!

Still no puppies
Well Ella is definitely taking her time with this litter. Her milk has come in, the babies are moving all over trying to get comfortable. Today is day 60 so maybe they will come tonight or first thing in the morning. I am going to pick up Kim in a few hours from the airport, unless something changes with Ella. Her temperature has been in the 99's all week, only dropping to 98.7 once. That may explain why she hasn't delivered.
She was pacing and whining pretty intensely this morning, I took her outside and all she wanted to do was eat grass. She's been very intense on eating the grass the last couple of days. Today not as much. When I brought her in she continued pacing and whining, after another 2 hours of this I took her outside again. This time she went potty. We went back inside and she's been sleeping for most of the day, and appears quite calm. The heartbeats are strong and everyone appears very healthy, so we will just wait it out.
