Lula was getting pretty scruffy in January. Since we were in quarantine, we couldn't take her into a groomer. I was able to find a mobile groomer that could fit her in on the last Wednesday in January. We were finally out of quarantine that day, but it was so much nicer having the groomer come to us. And the couple that groomed her were super nice, too. They struggled a bit on her underside because she was a week away from having another litter of puppies.
She looked so much better after the shave.
The following week, on Thursday, Lula started acting funny just after lunch time. For the last 2 litters, the breeders had happened to see her a day before she had her puppies. She was due to have this litter on Friday or Saturday, so they hadn't checked on her yet. When she started whimpering and I noticed some wet on her pillow, I called them. They came over and checked her temperature and took her to their house. She had the first puppy within a couple of hours. This ended up being a smaller litter, only 4 puppies. The last one was born around 4:30pm. We let all of our kids see them born this time.
I haven't gotten a picture of her with all four puppies yet. This is shortly before the last one was born.
