Past Litters

In this photo she was 7 weeks old. She was due on 12/10/2023 but as you can see, she was already huge! She was eating triple the amount of food and she was very snuggly. We were feeding her some raw food and prenatals to ensure she was at optimal health and weight. It was Thursday, November 30th and we were still at work when I got a call at 5:09pm that she had dropped her first puppy on the kitchen floor. We immediately went into "oh shit" mode and rushed home. Maria got there before anyone and was able to get her comfortable in her space and get hot water, scissors, etc. all together when baby #2 popped out. This is in the middle of winter in Colorado, so we have space heaters, boxes, towels, blankets. Okay, maybe we over prepared. At this point we had no clue how many babies were coming as her appointment for the x-ray at the vet was the very next day! The family all finally gets home, and she is surrounded by love and support. She was being fed raw meat in little bites and water to keep her energy up as she went into labor a few hours. The first 9 babies came within 15-30mins of each other. We thought she was done but an hour and a half after the last birth she gave birth to 1 more male who came out screaming at the world as if he was not ready! 8 girls and 2 boys this big girl gave birth to!  The first 3 days she panicked and needed extra help. Mama was there to support her every step of the way! Fast forward we spent a lot of sleepless nights trying to both navigate new puppies and what motherhood meant to Bulma. She did an amazing job! Watching these puppies grow and open their eyes all the way to the day they found their furever pawrents was both emotional and a relief! You try having 10 bully puppies who are eating solids and HUNGRY at 4 weeks! Overall, it was the most exhausting experience we have ever had but also the most rewarding.  The sweetest most beautiful little creatures <3 Nana will forever love you little babies!
