It all started a couple months ago. Ruka was in heat and there was a little black Schnauzer that had been hanging around our house all week. Marc got home from work one day and there was Ruka sitting on the front porch. She only has access to the backyard when we are gone so Marc went to investigate how she escaped. There was little tunnel that had been dug under the fence from the abandoned neighbors yard to our yard (hence the escape route).
So we were a little worried as most parents would be. She is a teenager afterall and she does have hormones, let alone the hormones of the little punk that busted her out of her backyard prison.
So about a month and a half goes by and all the signs were there. She started gaining weight, she was irritable, she had cravings, and she started waddling down the steps on paw at a time. We could tell she was getting close.
So, on Thursday night at about 9:00 it all started to happen. Although we checked on her frequently we played the part of Pa on Little House on the Prairie and waited patiently in the living room while Ma was in there birthin' babies. Ruka did everything all on her own and there were no problems.
We ended up with 3 adorable female pups. One black, one gold with black ears and one that is a mix of both. I promptly named the black one Obama. We'll call her Bama for short.
So, if you are in the market for a new puppy in about 6 weeks, let us know. They should stay pretty small, about 10-13 pounds at the most.
