New Litter
We would like to announce our newest litter. Kitty gave birth to two healthy boys on January 30th. One red and one red sesame. I was a little surprised that there were only two as she was showing big, I assumed she would have around 4 pups. Never the less, we are happy everything went well and are blessed to meet these two beautiful boys.
This was Kitty's first litter. Just like always, we set up our pregnant Shibas' crate in our room. It is a quieter, safe zone for mama and her new pups for the first week or so. Being in our room also helps when they decide to give birth in the middle of the night (so I can wake up and make sure everything goes smoothly). Anyways, Kitty had a different plan. She loves the couch, it is her favourite spot in the house .... with that said, she decided she wanted to have her pups in 'her spot'! I tried moving her to her crate, but she up right refused. So I grabbed some towel and laid them under her. She was quite content and had a fast delivery! An hour after she was done, my husband and I moved her and her pups into her crate (then scrubbed the couch ..hahaha). My husband and I had quite the chuckle over her wanting to be on the couch. A day earlier my husband half jokingly said, 'I think Kitty is nesting on the couch, I bet she will have them there!'.
