We are on day 61 and we have puppies. I wasn't expecting them until Thursday. Emilee usually goes right on her due date.

I was sitting at the kitchen table eating my lunch and Emilee comes in and barks at me. I asked her what she wanted and she motioned that she wanted to go to my bedroom to her whelping area. I let her go back there and she immediately hopped in her box and started contractions. She showed no signs previously.

So here are the stats:

1.) Female - born 12:45 PM - passed away. Emilee was way to vigorous with the chord and I think it was her fault that the intestines ...well, you know. Oh...she was a chocolate.

2.) Male - born 1:20 PM - 3.5 oz

3.) Female - born 2:37 PM - 2.5 oz

4.) Female - born 2:01 PM - 1.9 oz. I worked with her for 40 minutes...she just wouldn't take that first breath and passed away.

5.) Female - born 3:37 PM - 3.9 oz

6.) Male - born 4:05 PM - 4.2 oz he's also a chocolate.

In Emilee's very first litter there was a chocolate female born. She lives in Arizona.
