new arrivals

cleo...and her 3 devils...they are a day old...and cleo's change in attitude surprised me a lot...seeing life at close quaters,was a wow...though i have had many dogs...this is my first expereience at whelping..man till yesterday morning i was going nuts....didnt know what to do...infact i had to see a web page to get info on how to cut the umblical chords of the puppies...lol

yes ayeesha was the real hero...she had picked up cleo from the shelter nearly 10 years back...and when cleo was ready for whelping yesterday afternoon...it was ayeesha who was called to assist,as i was away to meet riaz,she (ayeesha) called me over phone to tell me that she saw cleo going to labour..and by the time i could be back...the first pup had arrived....and ayeesha was helping cleo to clean up....cleo did all the licking and cleaning...one after the other the pups arrived...she did this job so beautifully...and till 3 a.m she did not leave the sides of her pups....we manged to feed her cold milk about 5 times every hourly...in fact when i tried to move cleo away from the pups...she came reboundind back from another open door ...back to her whining pups!!!
