Around 11:30am, it dawned on me that Mattie hadn't been barking (which NEVER is the case when people are over). I went down stairs to check on her and discovered 4 puppies! Over the next few hours, she had 4 more. Jon and I laughed because we had been so sure she'd have the puppies Saturday or Sunday, that we felt completely unprepared! Her instincts kicked in just as they are supposed to and she did great -- and is doing great! We have 3 girls and 5 boys. It truly is amazing to watch Mattie take care of these tiny little puppies. I'll post plenty of pictures in the days and weeks to come, but here is a start.
