Winnie’s X-ray results

We’re thrilled to share that Winnie is expecting eight puppies! There’s a small chance it could be seven, but our vet is fairly confident she spotted an eighth little one tucked away.

Winnie is doing great and getting lots of love. Her whelping box and puppy playpen are all set up, and for the past week, the kids and I have been camping out in the guest room—right next to her whelping area—to help her feel relaxed and at home in her space.

She’s been especially attached lately, so we’re making sure she’s never left alone. My sister—aka our doggie doula—arrives in a few days and we’re so grateful for everything she’s taught us so far. We’re excited to put our badass breeder and puppy culture training to good use!

We’ll post an update as soon as puppies arrive!
