I have been away from the blog for a while because I have been a VERY busy dogman since the wedding.
Keeping a wife happy is not for sissies.
With honeymoon babies on the way Lulu obviously demanded my constant attention.
BUT..........
Today it is my pleasure to announce the birth of our first litter!
The PM did a great job as 'midwife' today!
PM was previously short for 'People Mommy', but today I officially promote her to 'Puppy Manager'.
She assisted my lovely Lulu during the delivery of our SIX puppies.
Three boys and three girls.
The little paw in the photo above is hardly 10mm from side to side and the weight of one pup is 155grams.

Here is Lulu with our brand new babies. Tired but quite content.
Twenty paw, oops! I mean twenty four pretty pink puppy paws.
I have to be the proudest doggy-dad in the world! Thank you Lulu-L♥ve!
If the PM has her way, they will be registered as ....... wait for it......
Amy, Abigail, Andy, Angelique, Alex and Alfie! All starting with A because it is our 'Alpha' litter
Because most of Lulu's time will be spent caring for the puppies,
I will make use of the opportunity to show you more photos soon!
(Phew - free time at last!)

While pregnant, Lulu used to lie stretched out on her back,
while I had to lick her tummy - a full time job, I kid you not!

I don't think it is quite safe to mention the word * F-A-T * just yet, but once I have plucked up enough courage I will show you a photo that the PM took this morning of Lulu in all her 'rounded' glory - shortly before the pups were born! Until then, I prefer to stay on the safe side....
