Stopped at store on trip over and got a kiddie pool.

Tired momma gets to sleep. Labor subsided. Just 4 in this litter.

July 4, 2011 -- Kids wake up and rush in to see pups

July 7, 2011 -- Tail dock/dew claw removal

All pups loaded in van.

Mom handled pup transport better than expected.

Mom did stress a bit when separated from pups for procedure.
Back home and time to relax!
