Isabel has her puppies!

Here is Isabel the afternoon before she has the puppies!
I think she looks great!
I thought she would be bigger(I think she rolled her eyes at me when I said that!) Here is Isabel and Red puppy #1!
Her first puppy was born at 11:18pm on April 26th, 2010!
This was also the 40th birthday of our whelping midwife Karen! Happy Birthday Karen!
How sweet is this?
The funny thing about this picture is that Red didn't nurse until we really worked at it.

Seven healthy puppies!
We were very excited to see all seven because one of the puppies didn't show up completely in the x-ray. So, we were preparing ourselves for a stillborn pup. I think we all said a little prayer before light pink was born at 3:25am, another healthy puppy!

All in all, Isabel's whelping experience was very amazing! Karen, my daughter Elise, my husband and myself were all present to witness the miracle(s) of life! Thanks to Isabel for being the greatest dog ever, and now the greatest Mama dog ever!
