Dawna is resting happily tonight after delivering 9 lovely pups earlier today:
5 boys, 4 girls; 4 black and 5 yellow. All are healthy and a good size. In order they are:
Red - Yellow Female, 15.7 oz
Blue - Black Female, 14.2 oz
Purple - Black Female, 14.2 oz
Neon Green - Yellow Male, 15.8 oz
Neon Pink - Black Male, 14.4 oz
Brown - Yellow Male, 11.7 oz
Light Pink - Black Male, 15.8 oz
Turquoise - Yellow Male, 16.0 oz
Orange - Yellow Female, 15.6 oz
Daddies are Ross VI and Saris.
She was kind to her B/Cs and whelper helpers and delivered these nine tiny miracles between noon and 3:30 pm with a mimimum of fuss once she was finally convinced that it really was OK to "poop" in the whelping pool.
Dawna is turning out to be an excellent mommy - attentive, good at cleaning, happy to hang out and nurse her babies and eager to get back to them after potty breaks.
We look forward to watching her grow as a mom as these little ones start their own CCI journeys.
Many thanks to our whelper helpers Peggy Keefe and Ralph & Patsy Cornwell. Many hands truly do make light work (although Dawna may think otherwise! )
Here are some glimpses of the process:
Momma Makia is very proud of her daughter and grandpuppies!

This is the cutest litter. Mikaela and I are PRs for Dekle, and I love how you posted the colors and weights. Now we know how it works! Congrats to Dawna; Kim is a special friend. Hugs to mom and babies!!!
