Now that I've had some sleep I can update everyone on our beautiful litter.
After several hours of labor Lila delivered out first girl at 6:04 am Saturday morning.
#1 Pink was 15.3 ounces at birth and up to 16.5 in 24 hours. girl
#2 Blue born at 7:00 am 18 ounces at birth up to 19 in 24 hours. boy
#3 Yellow born at 7:18 am 14 ounces and 15.8 in 24 hours girl
#4 Lime was born at 7:36am 17.9 ounces and 19.5 in 24 hours she is ridgeless girl
# 5 puppy was Red and in a hurry born just 7 minutes after his sister,
the smallest at birth of 13.3 ounces still nice sized and 14.8 ounces in 24 hours.
Red already has a nick name for his climbing skills "Sir Redmond Hillary" boy
#6 Aqua born 8:18 am 17.2 ounces and 17.9 in 24 hours girl
#7 Lucky Lucy light blue born at 9:06 am weighs 17.3 and 19.5 in 24 hours a girl
#8 White born at 9:33 am weighing 15.7 ounces and 17.0 in 24 hours a girl.
And sadly 1 1/2 hours later Lila delivered a still born boy. He must have had
placenta issues during delivery of his siblings and we could not revive him.
Lila is a stellar Mom letting the other 3 adult ridgebacks to see HER puppies only with
strict supervision and growling on her part.
Below pictures have a couple with Lacy (Lila's daughter from her first litter) peeking at her new half siblings.
I will try to update this blog to keep you up to date.
Later today I hope to get my husbands 300 Italy pictures off the camera so I can get
nice pictures of the puppies. My phone camera is slow and often the puppies move
before the picture snaps.
Tom arrive home Friday night from Italy in time to help with the whelping of this litter.
Also, found out Beckett, from our first Lila litter completed his championship on Sunday March 5.
Congratulations to Kathleen and Jeff on all the hard work.
