Let me introduce you to our R-litter!

On Monday evening Penny started to show signs that she was entering the openingstage. She was then on day 59 so a few days earlier than I expected.  The night was ok, she was a bit restless but still taking it easy and resting a lot. 
During Monday at lunch she had her first visible contractions. Less than 30 minutes later we got to meet the first puppy!

Pennys is being a wonderful mother, great instincts taking care of her babies from the very first second. All puppies are strong and nursing. Our little Ms White has a very unsure future ahead of her. I will see if there is possible to do anything for her. But for this very moment she is as strong as her siblings even though smaller, and I will see if we can give her a chance...
