Congratulations to Arrow, a proud mama of nine new pups!
At just under three weeks, they are only just bigger than my hand.
Writhing mass of cute:
Puppy or polar bear cub?
Look how sweet mama looks. Arrow is a lot like her predecessor, my own Autumn--sweet and gentle and thoughtful and intelligent.
Here is the littlest survivor. I've just had the upsetting news that the only one smaller than she, the runt, passed away. :*
*edited to correct that this is not a photo of the unfortunate runt*
Rest in peace, little dude.

I swear, there is NOTHING cuter than baby puppies! Thanks for my Sunday dose of adorable! =)
How did he pass away? He looked perfectly fine in the photo.
Actually, he was already lethargic then, which was when we first discovered there was something wrong. We thought he probably had not gotten enough to eat since he was so little he probably got pushed out of the way by the other pups. We began to hand feed him goat's milk, but he slipped away within the same hour. It's not uncommon to lose a pup in large litters like this, although it usually happens before the birth (i.e. is stillborn). This little guy clearly had a curious spirit and wanted to see what was outside in the world before moving on. :*)
Autumn and Linden were born with a stillborn pup.
Little guy has crossed the rainbow bridge and he is having a good time now. When it is his turn to return, he will be a strong and happy pup
It's been a week - where are the 4 week photos?! And the 4.5 week photos and the 5 week photos and... :)
