Those first photos (way back on page 1) she looked absolutely terrified. Such a lot happening to a sweet little girl in a very short time. She just needs time to settle and adjust herself!
    Thank you for being so kind. I am glad to be able to use my sister's computer at this time to share this with everybody. I just hate to give it back to her!!

    Pumpkin has grown quite attached to me. When she is out of the whelping box, she follows me everywhere and won't leave my side. When we are outside she is always making sure I am right behind her! I am sure she will be okay once she starts feeling better.

    Pumpkin weighed 34.1lb before delivery, at the vet today she was down to 28.6lbs. She needs to gain about 5 or 6 more pounds to be up to par.

    Pumpkin got her shot of Oxytosin to help clean her out since she did not pass any placentas to my knowledge. The vet sent her home and said for me just to watch her closely. She is doing very well and the pups are so cute and getting very vocal! They are too cute!!

    Thank you all for your wonderfully nice comments. It has been hard work, but I love every minute of it! Here are more pictures I took last night!

    Oh my gosh what a wonderful way to end off a terrible work day. Just look at those sweet babies and Freedom is right. She does look more relaxed.

    Great job Reach!!!!! I just can't imagine myself doing what you do. Bless your heart for taking in this sweet Momma.

    Yes, more pictures for sure.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Oh my goodness, she must be a tiny little thing. I had this notion she was more the size of a lab - or at least 50 lbs. What a sweetheart she is and such a good mama. It's going to be a big job for her with 6 puppies but with the good care she is getting, I would think everything will go fine. I can only echo what others have already said in admiration of you and your husband. You are some of the Angels that walk this earth.

    Reachoutrescue, how are the baby pups and their mom today? I just can't get over that they are all black except for one black and white one. Babies, please grow and be healthy!

    Sorry I have not posted in a couple of days. My sister needed her laptop, but I was able to get over here today and give you all an update!

    The puppies now 5 days old. They are doing very well. Getting big, fast! Pumpkin is doing good. She is very protective of her little ones. She barks at every little noise, barks at my children, so I keep them away, and every now an then she will bark at Dave. She is not too bad with him, only if he gets loud or wrestles with the boys. She is really good when she is out of her pen though. Likes the dogs and cats and even the boys!

    Well here are pics of the widdle ones!!! I don't know why they would not reduce in size, so I apologize deeply for how big they are! I really did try!

    Enjoy!







    Look at this widdle one! I love when they sleep on their backs!!


    Wonder if he saw the flash, soon as I snapped it, he turned on his belly!

    Hope you all enjoyed them. More updates soon, I promise!!
