They're due February 12th, 2002 if all goes well. Check back then for pictures of our new gang.
I CAN'T WAIT!!!
Okay, I realize it's a month early but we're getting ready. Except I ran outta' duct tape. Can't bring in the whelping box until I finish taping :)
This gang has a little less space cuz I'm tired of moving the bed and stuff. It'll be too cold to put the babies outside when they start escaping the whelping box. This worked great last time :)
Bring newspaper when you come to visit :)))
Here's Sasha a month into her pregnancy :) You can see her tummy getting chubby. She'll get soooooo fat you won't believe it :)
Okay, I got more duct tape, seeeee :) Now the whelping box is all ready to go. About 19 days to go!!!
Nosey Akita > go figure
As soon as they start crawling out of the whelping box I'll take it out of the room.
Here's mama with roughly 19 days to go!
Daddy >
Their friend Kadena who just turned 7 months old.
Fatso with about a week to go.
Today is Feb. 7th and I think we're about ready to go.
Sasha isn't as big as she was with her first two litters.

The good news is everybody is healthy. The bad news is there is only one girl. She may have one more baby in there but I don't think so.
There are some not so hot pictures below. The white boys and the camera flash, clash. After I have some sleep I'll try to get some better pictures.
Happy Birthday my little Valentines :)
Totally black. The black guys may be a black brindle like their mama or they may turn out like daddy. A couple days will tell.
White :)
White :)
Black guy with 4 white toes on his back feet and 2 white toes on each of his front feet. He has a long rectangular shaped white marking on his chest and a tiny, tiny white tip on his tail.
Tan baby with perfectly even white markings. White feet front and back. She has a white chin that continues down her tummy and a big white tip on her tail.
Tan baby with 4 white toes on both back feet and his left front. He only has 2 white toes on his front left :)
Another black baby. He has a perfect tiny rectangle of white on his chest and white toes on all his feet except his right front. He also has a tiny white tip on his tail.
What are the odds? She had 6 boys and 4 girls in both of her previous litters.
#7 baby was the biggest tipping the scale at 1 pound 2 ounces.
Everybody else was either 1 pound or 15 ounces. One of the white boys was 1 pound 1 ounce.
Okay, I changed the lighting. The white boys produce glare:)

The brown babies will look like Mercedes/Sadie and Porsche/Dakota
from Sasha's last litter. Maybe a little darker.
Girl
Spoken for.
One of the boys, who will look like Mac, is spoken for. Probaby this guy. Waaaaaayyy too soon to tell :)
My apologizes to the families who were waiting for girls. :(
