Wonderful news!  12 healthy Griff puppies were born between yesterday afternoon and this morning.  There are 4 girls and 8 boys, and all of them are eating, moving and sleeping well.  Ten of them whelped late into last night, then the last two arrived early this morning with help from the reproductive vets we love in InverGrove Heights.  (It was 12, not the possible 13 they indicated.)  All the puppies had their first vet check and are “officially” strong and healthy.  Reine is an amazing mom, hanging with her babies through all their nursing and climbing on and around her, tending to them almost non-stop.

Biff and I are recovering from the all-nighter, thankful for the beautiful litter and all the work their mommy, Reine, does for them.  Stay tuned to watch them grow.  We’ll post daily whenever we can.
