Here are some photos of all the families that Nadia’s pups went to.  Hope all the pups are doing well.  We had our hands full with all the puppies and kids, I think the photo below demonstrates it perfectly.  Click it to see the rest of the photos.

The Nadia Nitro puppies are 4 weeks old.  They had a big week.  They ate real food (blended dog food and water) for the first time, had visitors, nibbled on some feathers, and went outside.  Wow!  Now they are sleeping very well.  We have the double whelping box set up now in the kitchen so they can get used to all the noises of a home.  Nadia is very happy to be finishing up her feeding responsibilities.  She is ready to have them fully weaned already.  Thanks to all the visitors, it helps the puppies greatly to get socialized.  64 photos this time so be prepared.  Also a 3 and 4 week old video.

The puppies are two weeks old and doing great. They are growing fast. They eyes all opened this week, I would say around the 12 day mark they opened up. A couple of them are unsteadily walking which you can see in the video. Enjoy the cuteness. As always click the photo to see the slide show and the bottom image will play a video.

YouTube - Nadia Nitro Puppies At 2 Weeks

Nadia had her puppies on Friday April 9th starting at 5:30pm. They were all born healthy and pretty much uneventfully. She had 4 boys and 2 girls. I have posted lots of pictures, and there is a video of the delivery as well. The pups will be ready for visitors the at the age of 4 weeks.  The first image is a link to the whelping video.

Nadia started having her pups about 30 minutes after I got home.

Nadia is stubborn, I really thought she was going into labor with her puppies this evening but no.  Her temp has still not dropped.  She was two days late last time.  We’ll see what tonight and tomorrow have in store.

Nadia is 8 weeks pregnant and we just found out she has 6 puppies in her by x-ray.  She doesn’t look that big, but I guess they are in there.  Wednesday is the big day.  Wish her good luck and let’s hope all the pups are healthy.  I sneaked in a few pictures of Cinder because she has not been getting enough attention lately too.  See if you can count 6 and possibly 7 pups.

We got a record amount of snow in the Chicago area.  12.9 inches.  It was really fun and even shoveling it wasn’t too bad.  Here is a photo of Ashlee’s car just about buried.  Another little known fact is that there was a 4.2 magnitude earthquake too.  Maybe the weight of all the snow triggered it.  The dogs and Hannah are loving the snow, but it is too deep for everyone except Cinder.
