Jill/Nick pups born March 2, 2011

Our Jill/Nick pups were born on Wednesday. Things started out nicely with a very very large male tri colored pup weighing in at a hefty 17oz, was born at 3:20am. His nickname is Spot, for a very large black spot on his white belly. Spot was not cooperative in turning over to show his black belly spot.

Second pup arrived at 4:20, a male tri colored pup looking small at 10oz, when compared to the first one. His nickname is Nick Jr, as he looks alot like his dad Nick.

Third pup just wouldn't come and we were at the emergency vet by 6:20am. They saw a large pup positioned correctly and gave her a shot of ocytocin to get things moving. After 40 mins and no action, we opted for a c-section. A very large healthy tri male pup, weighing 16oz, was born at 8:30 am. Nancy M nicknamed this pup Cal, short for calyx, which is a male part of the petunia flower.

We opted to have Jilly spayed, as this was her second c-section. Jill was pretty groggy after her surgery but was taking good care of her pups.

I'll be keeping 2 of the pups. Nancy M's female was not to be in this litter.
