We are so happy to announce Dilly's puppies have arrived! She delivered four beautiful, healthy, and active pups yesterday: 2 girls and 2 boys!
The first one needed a bit of help to enter the world, but then everyone else came out in short order! One of the females is solid fawn with white toes and a bit of white chest, looking very much like her mama. The other three puppies are fawn parti color like their papa. And to top off the good news, it was Simon's birthday yesterday, too! Happy birthday to Simon and to the little ones.
Our kiddo has been singing to the puppies and Dilly D. (as she calls her) all day long. They've heard many renditions of Twinkle, Twinkle and Happy Birthday, with a sporadic mix of Hey Jude and some Burl Ives. I'm not sure she cares that they can't hear yet. ;-) So far everything is going by the book: How Puppies Grow by Millicent Selsam. (It's one of our favorites!)
We are so happy to have the pups here. Dilly is relaxed and taking care of them dutifully.
