First safe outdoors outing went smoothly, they are starting to crave enrichment and this was a perfect way to tucker everyone out. They'll have some supervised time each day from here on out. A big thanks to Nazz for helping me get their individual pics finished! They are getting more agile and squirmy by the minute. I can already see some interesting developments in the ways of temperament which I'm sure is evident in these pictures! Busby|Female|Yellow Collar|Black
This gal is very laid back, she does enjoy play but is super independent and does her own thing. Shark|Male|Red Collar|Black
His small size doesn't mean anything. He is first in line to take on challenges and push in front. Willthey|Male|Green Collar|Black
Thinks for himself. He loves human interaction.If I had to choose the SD of the bunch he's my pick. Chatterley|Female|Orange Collar|Liver
Snuggles. Velcro puppy, less energy but still inquisitive. She thinks things through, very serious. Cliffhanger|Male|Blue Collar|LiverHe is very outgoing, he loves to give kisses and is FOCUSED on me!
Just a week until temp testing can be performed, I'm eager to see scores. Placements certainly won't be easy, I'm so enjoying ALL of their growth.

Danny and Demure are on their first trip since the Trope litter was born and Nazz is living 6hrs away in her hometown. I had moved the box and whelping supplies to my upstairs spare bedroom for convenience’s sake, I guess I kinda knew doing this alone was a possibility. Neve decided that day 57 she’d go into labor without much warning at all, by 8pm I called Nazz and told her to stay put, she wouldn’t make it until the early hours of the morning and these puppies were coming now. We agreed she’d be there at the first reasonable hour.
We welcomed Neve’s first little one at 8:50, a lovely little gal that’s the spitting image of Gomez! Not even an hour later followed our biggest girl, a sable like mum, with the strongest pair of lungs I’ve ever seen on a pup. She too agreed that Neve’s eviction was too soon.
Just minutes later she sadly delivered a small stillborn boy who is now resting under a tree behind the farmhouse. I was thankful that we had a little over an hour until the next pup, I was able to collect myself and attend to mama and our two very strong little girls. At 11:05 a little bitty thing was born; our smallest pup is a silver phantom girl. I was sure I felt one more, then two. 11:58, another phantom girl! I was now positive we still had two more puppies. Neve dozed until almost 1AM, when she delivered her last puppy - it was one very beautiful and very large silver boy!
Mama and pups are all doing splendid and eating - no puppy chow for picky Neve, high quality freeze dried in broth is about all this pain eats right now. I am so proud of our first-time mama; it was a flurry of emotions for myself, and I am so grateful to have helped welcome these 5 little lumps - 4 girls and 1 boy into the world. All spoken for as of now.
Please stay tuned for updates and enjoy all the puppy spam.

Pregnancy confirmed. Being that this is Neve's last litter we are savoring every moment with our gal, it's a wondrous time to spend outside enjoying the cool weather. Neve & Sterling will be expecting 4-5 lil ones any day now. Thankful to all our eager families who are waiting for them to make their debut!

I had a feeling after not one but two false alarms days apart that the Haunts were going to be trouble. Neve wouldn't take breakfast and I settled her down in the basement room with little expectations. The panting had been daily, and she was one to go off her food periodically but wait - her temp was right! She was not pacing or nesting, she rested in her favorite corner and 4 hours later at 10 am she was delivering her first pup - a beautiful red abstract boy. 20 minutes later followed his brother – a big flashy black abstract boy. We welcomed the first little girl, a red phantom abstract, at 11:08. Neve’s labored nearly 1hr to no avail – she was obviously pushing but nothing. I could feel the puppy and guided her out alongside Neve’s contractions gently by her legs. Neve gave a final push and delivered her last puppy, a black abstract, at 12:30pm. She was not breathing, we worked for nearly 10 minutes on her before she began to come to, what relief. Madonna(green collar) is being watched extra close but is eating well with some manual latching. I’ll be on the couch next to the box the next few days just a few steps away. Neve is a very independent mother just as she is in everyday life. The pups are very clean and fat, she could not be asked to leave them for a potty break until nightfall. I couldn’t be prouder, really. 2 boys and 2 girls – much more evenly matched than her last litter. All have eager families awaiting them, lucky pups! In birth order with weight listed: Updates to come!
