The wait is over!

After what seemed like an eternity, the puppies made their entrance at about 11 am yesterday. Gabi had gone into labor over 24 hours previously. She started hard labor at about 7 am, but didn't have a puppy after 3 hours so was taken in for evaluation. Unfortunately, she required a c-section.

I can not tell you all the relief that I felt when Gabi was back home with her kids. She was groggy for a while, but almost as soon as she woke, she started licking and tending to her new crew of 5: 4 girls and one boy. Although going into this, I wanted a girl from the litter, the little boy has the mark of his mother (white head, with a patch around an ear). Only time will tell. Check out Gabi's blog for a photo album.
