On December 18 Meri whelped 5 beautiful puppies! 3 boys and 2 girls. It was a long day for Meri. The first two pups arrived at 2 and 3 pm with little fanfare. But our little black boy puppy put my nerves to the test! After 2 hours with a little contracting but no puppy, I took Meri to our local 24 hour emergency vet. Our worry was that this boy was stuck. Turns out he was just stubborn. Finally, at 6:30 after a dose of oxytocin, he was born…healthy and hungry! By 8:00 pm a black girl and the white boy had arrived!
Here is Phantom…the proud papa!
Sire of this litter is our boy Phantom. Both dogs have very sweet dispositions. Phantom would play fetch with me all day long if given the opportunity!
