Birth

 One day before the delivery Spot shows off her fat belly.

Thursday August 6, Spot becomes restless around 17:30 and starts to walk circles inside her whelping crate. Every now and then she squeaks and pants, and sometimes she licks herself.
Around 18:00 she wants to go outside. While her posture looks like she's defecating an amount of fluid is released. Swiftly she's brought inside. After a few contractions the first pup is born at 18:06.

Pictures of the delivery

The fourth pup gave us the opportunity to make a series of pictures of the birth process.

A few hours later...
