The One!

Now there is a practice of either giving one pup to the Father's family or paying up cash once the pup is sold. We chose the former. Since we wanted to gift the pup to my husband's best friend.

We had Rex and the pup meet the day we visited them. Here's a picture of them getting acquainted.

We also clicked pictures of us with our Grandson :). Here are a few pictures.... never mind me.. I was super excited holding the little one, that which was the most amazing feeling!

The best part was he was purring like a cat, if I may call that. Wiggling and making himself comfortable in the warmth of our hands. Yes, he was The Chosen One! And was named Don temporarily for the record and a red ribbon was tied around him to be identifiable over his siblings.

Don would be handed over to us post 90 days since he would need the nourishment of his Mum's milk to grow strong.

Happy Father's Day!

So finally the news was out that Lisa had delivered. What a joy! But hold it! We were in for a BIIIIG shocker... in a good way ofcourse...!

Lisa had mothered TEN pups!!! Yoohooo...!! :)

So proud were we of Lisa and Rex! How they managed to do that.. that's something I would say was destiny's plans....

So, we chose the Father's Day (right after a day of delivery), to go and see the Mum and the little ones... I managed to capture a picture of all of them segregated in two boxes, cuddling up close to each other...

Now the pups could be easily mistaken for a bunch of fawn-colored guinea pigs since they are yet to grow with their features. A pup's 50% growth happens in the womb and the rest once they are out of it...

We made Rex meet the pups from a distance since he was not yet socialized with new born pups..

The Pregnancy!

How could I have possibly forgotten to write about the little Rexs and Lisas!! My bad...

We were told by Lisa's parents that Sonography showed up five embryos. Oh yes, that's completely authorized in the animal kingdom unlike the so-called sane human world!! But I was not entirely convinced as I had heard someone say, possibly a myth, that cats and dogs deliver in even numbers. So I was hoping there were six... 

Lisa had become lethargic and started eating twice the amount of food in one go. Understandable, given that she was pregnant. She put on weight but interestingly I hear that she was up for a walk any given time. Now, that's like a good girl. I am sure she would want to stay fit and smart :)

Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of her clicked during pregnancy.
