Seven more additions to Hope Valley Farm...

Yesterday, it became increasingly clear to us that Anna was nesting. She came to the door a few times yesterday morning covered in dirt. When we followed her , we found that she had dug herself a little place under Mom & Dad's shed so that she could welcome her puppies. According to the websites we looked at, that was a pretty sure indicator that she was going to be whelping soon. So we kept a watch on her throughout the day, but nothing happened. Of course, if you were Anna, and had 10 people looking at you and asking you "When are you going to have your puppies?", wouldn't you wait for peace & quiet too???? So she did.
Harold, William & Cody went out around 7:00 this morning to check on her and they brought back the news that there were SEVEN puppies and one tired, but healthy and happy momma. I love her expressions in the pictures. The one right above this paragraph is saying, "Boy, that was hard work & I could sure use a nap!" The next one makes me think she's saying, "Yeah, a nap sounds good, but what am I gonna do with all them?" I know the feeling, Anna!
So, anyone want a puppy?
