OH! Puppy, Puppy!

Oh, dear Bella!  Nine little puppies made their way into the world late Tuesday and into the wee hours of the next day.  Such lovely little babes.  :)   Below are Bella's "before" pics I thought you all would enjoy. . . . Stephanie is in the second photo (she is almost 8 months pregnant herself!) having a talk with Bella to encourage her in the process.  Gotta love how the process of birth "understanding" transmits to all women, no matter the species!  lol

And here, a close up look at all those little noses and good little eaters . . .  they are plumping out nicely.  Good job, Bella!
