Well It Is That Time Again

Breckyn and Zip

So our dog Zip had been expecting babies forever. We could not figure out why she had not had them yet. I even got scared at one point that she had lost them. She was still big, she was not guarding her doghouse as she had always done AND we could not hear them. Last Tuesday when Troy had not fed the horses (which means...my turn. Yeah) I was out and decided to look in the doghouse. Now mind you, we knew that she was digging a hole but when I look ed inside....I found

Can you see them?

We (Breck and I) were really excited but I could not reach them. It was supposed to rain that day, (and did) so we had to get them out. I called Anissa and when she dropped her kids off at school she came to help me. We figured that Breckyn and Ashlyn could go in and get them out.

First off, Breckyn would not go without a flashlight. When she got in the whole, it was so big that she could turn completely around (as you can see). As she was handing Alala to Ashlyn, Zip decided to check on the rest and went down inside with Breck. Anissa and I were laughing at the girls but also wanting them to hurry. (Anissa is even more of a puppy lover than me. I know hard to believe.)

This is Chevy being handed out. After all five were out....here she came. She loved it.

Don't you love how dirty Breck is? We all know she did and it gave her an excuse to change here clothes AGAIN. Breck is holding Heidi and Ash has Sparky. When we took this picture, it was the first time we realized how much Breckyn has grown. Her and Ash have always been a few inches apart. They are 8 months apart, in fact Anissa told me the good news the day she drove me to hospital to have Breck (just a bit of info for you).
3 boys and 2 girls. All safe and sound in their new doghouse. Mom was not quite sure about it yet. Thanks for the help Ness and Ash.

After all the work of getting them out, it took us a few days to figure out when they were born. Well Chevy opened his eyes and we counted back. The date of birth will be......November 17th. Yes, we did not find them for about a week and a half. But it was a lot like it was when I was growing up and hunting for puppies.

A Christmas without puppies would just not feel right!
