Our litte 8lb mini doxie gave birth to a litter of 6 pups!!  3 girls and 3 boys  

These pic’s were taking a few days before she gave birth.. She was getting so miserable, with her belly dragging on the ground.

Sam made up a chart for the children to guess how many pups she would have.. Everyone was anxiously awaiting to see who guessed right  

The morning she had them - Abby had woke up for work.. and herd the meews of puppies.  Betsy (our dog) got up around 2:30am to potty.. when I let her back in, she ran under Malachi’s bed.  Sometime between 2:30am & 7:30 am.. she birthed them.  And funny thing.. Malachi is the one who guessed 6 pups!  He was thrilled   We all team worked to get her and her pups into the whelping basket we had ready for her. 

She had 5 black and tans and one chocolate.  Unfortunetly, one of our black and tan male pups didn’t make it through the day   I tried and tried to help it.. without success.  Thankfully the rest of them are thriving and growing like weeds!!
