Puppies!

 At 2:00 pm on Monday, December 13th our dog Grace gave birth to her first puppy......ever! In about 6-7 hours she had given birth to seven beautiful pups, three girls and four boys. There were really no complications at all, and her labor went quite smoothly. It has been one week today, and the puppies are doing great, all chubby and healthy. :) Grace is the most adorable mother ever. She loves her puppies so much, and hardly even want's to leave them for a potty break! At first whenever we would hold a pup, she'd keep a very close eye on us to make sure we were going to give it back. But, after continuing this habit for awhile and realizing that we always did, her mind is much more at ease. :) Here are a few pictures of Grace and her beautiful  litter at 1 week old-
