Molly's Cali O'Callahan and her very first whelping!
Cali came to work with me in my salon for a week before
her due date.  We had just gotten to work when she
decided to start building her nest!  I watched her while I
did a few clients and decided to take her temperature.  It
was falling and her appetite was gone.  That's when I
knew for sure that this was it!  This girl loves to eat!

We headed for home and got everything ready.  She had
a restless night and decided that she wasn't going to
whelp until the next day.  My day off!  She had her first
pup at noon.  Mercedes came out first.
At 1:30 the second pup was whelped... also breech.
Cali's motherly instinct kicked in and she is doing a
wonderful job!  I was really wondering if she would
because she wanted absolutely NOTHING to do with
Misty's litters.  Instinct is a truly amazing thing!
Wake up little darling!  Welcome to this cold world!
Three pups whelped and one more to come.  Getting that
first mothers milk loaded with colostrum.
It's 4:00 and all is well.  The whelping was a great success
and mom and pups are taking a much deserved nap!  
We're all ID'd, documented and taking a snooze.
