Perla is a mum!!

There was panting, there was whining and groaning... scratching and licking, vomiting, excessive peeing and pooing... but the fruits of her labour are 5 GORGEOUS puppies!! Three girls, 2 boys. There may be a 6th puppy yet to come, we are not sure. But they are all alive, squeaking away and trying to get their mum to sit still and stop licking them so that they can start suckling! She's done so well, she's eaten all the placentas and the membranes, licked them all nice and clean (some would say a bit overenthusiastic licking, but then again, licking has always been Perla's forte) and makes sure she circles herself around them, sometimes causing one or two to end up underneath her. Five puppies in 2 hours?! Not bad for little miss first-time-mum!

Oh this is SOOOOOO exciting!! :D Tino, the new dad, is rather complacent about the whole thing. Miro, on the other hand, is a little too excited about seeing the puppies. He won't get near them any time soon. You never know what a jealous man might do when he finds out these pups are not his! Dumm dumm dumm dumm! Sounds like a bad soap-opera :D
