Ferra had five perfect little pups on January 21st 2009. The labor went smoothly, as did the mating and the pregnancy.

The first pup (a girl) is being born, 5:49 am.
|
 |
|
Still wet and a bit wrinkly, but hungry.
|
 |
|
And now they're two.
|
 |
|
The first three arrived with 30 minutes apart, the next ones were born about 10-20 minutes later. 5 pups, 2 girls and 3 boys.

Ferra has been a very caring mom.

A couple of hours later they've dried up and they look a little bit fatter already.
|
 |
|
Oh, bliss.

Familiarizing with the toller position

Glad Ferra enjoys this position, very easy for the puppies.

Two peas in a pot.

Not everybody has the stamina to eat even when they're full.

Mom also finds this position quite comfortable

End of their very first week in this world and just look how big they are already! The eager minds set on getting food, the little tails already wagging and finally the little mouths eating like they had never been fed before. They're just amazing.

Starting to enjoy tight spaces, just like the big dogs do.
