As you were starting to wind down for the night, ours and Miss Hedy's night was just starting up... ❤️🐾
After a long night, Miss Hedy went into labor and delivered 10 puppies.
Our hearts are full because 8 beautiful puppies are here with us today...6 boys and 2 girls. 💙💙💙💙💙💙🩷🩷
Our hearts are also heavy for the two little boys we lost.
One sweet baby was stillborn. Our amazing whelping doulas did everything they could, performing CPR and trying to revive him for more than 40 minutes. We are so grateful for their compassion, skill, and determination.
Another little boy was born with a severe abdominal wall defect that left organs exposed. Our founder immediately rushed him to the emergency veterinary hospital, hoping there was something that could be done. After examining him, the veterinary team determined that his injuries were simply too extensive, with too many organs damaged for surgery to be possible. The kindest gift we could give him was a peaceful goodbye.
Trigger warning: We will be sharing very tender videos of our founders singing and talking to this sweet little boy during his final moments. While heartbreaking, it is also a beautiful reminder that he knew nothing but love and comfort for the short time he was here.
Through it all, Miss Hedy has been an absolute rockstar. She has settled in with her babies and is already proving to be a wonderful mama. She and her puppies are being closely monitored, getting lots of check-ins, and receiving all the love and care they need.
Today, we're celebrating the eight little lives who are snuggled up with their mama while also remembering the two who left us far too soon.
Thank you to everyone who has followed Hedy's journey and kept her in your thoughts. We can't wait to watch these little ones grow over the next several weeks.
AND BIG thank you to for coming in clutch with the whelping box, supplies, and lending a hand last night to help our new volunteer doulas become comfortable. We appreciate you so much!
Welcome to the world, little ones. We're so glad you're here. ❤️🐾
