After an eventful pre-labor episode, likely triggered by the sudden change in weather, Sage slept for the next two days and delivered her pups on her due date. She is adjusting to her new role as a mama very well.

Cagney, like Bixley, was also a quiet labourer. No panting or pacing. She looked a little uncomfortable at times, but that was it. I had checked her in the night and between checks she had them on her own!

On a frigid morning of February 10th, I observed an amazing miracle of a first-time mom, knowing precisely what to do, and doing it very well. Bixley was a very quiet labourer. There was no pacing or panting.
