Anneke's first litter
Saturday, October 31, 2009 at 7:31 PM
Anneke has just had her first litter of puppies on october the 14th. This was a funny story about the birth. We knew she was close to her time, so we cleared our schedules that whole week. There was only one appointment we could not cancel, my husband had to go to the INS and have his fingerprints and pictures done (He is from Holland). These appointments are set up months ahead of time and are impossible to change. So, of course, Anneke went into labor the very day of the appointment. We did not want to leave her with the teenagers for the 3 hours it would take us to drive to Portland and back, so we took her with us. And of course she gave birth in the car. We joked that the $100 whelping box my husband had so carefully made for her was not good enough, OUR princess wanted to have HER puppies in the $20K car.
She is a wonderful and devoting mother, and all 5 puppies are doing great.
