New puppies

Gabi and I had the most amazing experience today. Our friends the Maxwell's dog Ally had a "visit in the backyard" from a neighbouring dog in August. The Maxwell's didn't know if anything would come of that visit, but today it did! Surprise!!

She gave birth to 4 puppies... 3 girls and 1 boy.



It was such an amazing experience. Gabi has never seen anything like this, and even me being a maternity nurse didn't dampen the awesomeness.

To think that God put into this dog's DNA the ability to give birth and then stimulate her new babies to breathe, bite off the umbilical cord, and clean off the membranes was so cool. And then to see these minutes-old puppies who can't see find there way to mommy's nipples and start nursing was truely a miracle.
I am so glad that we had the privilege of being part of this!

    I shouldn't have shown Karli... "can I get a puppy, can I get a puppy..."
    NO with a capital 'N'!
