Solstice Son Born on 3-22-09

We got the news yesterday through the IIDOBA forum that Echo has given birth to 7 pups! There were a few complications, one being due to the cold that has hit Oregon over the past week. This morning I received an email from Kim that reported that all 8 pups are doing well - there was a quick moment when they had to be warmed up - but that they are all nursing and have been moved into a warmer kennel with Mama and all are doing great!!

Okay - I am dancing..Solsti is here! He's come into the world during the 48 hour period after the Spring Solstice and he is well. I am proud of Echo and thank the owners of Song Dog Kennels for their dedication to their dogs and our pup! I am sure it was tiring!

Did I mention that I am ecstatic? Cannot wait for our little guy to be here, giving us little puppy kisses and snuggling with us! Woo hoo!!
