Duschka and Magnum left Ayla (Duschka’s daughter out of her first litter) Magnum in the back (Mai 29th, 09)

The happy mom to be! Somebody is quite proud becoming a daddy again! :-)

Duschka’s favorite outdoor spot on hot summer days. Duschka starts digging holes....

...and is preparing the nest for her babies A few days before delivery day.

It’s tough being pregnant and carrying a big belly around. Another lovely visit from Steph and Shandess

Shandess’ boy “Zero” (almost 2 years) is visiting his mom Duschka Ayla, Magnum, Zero, Duschka

Duschka is spending more time in her “whelping room”... and makes herself comfortable in the whelping box

A yummy Cottage Cheese Snack for the mom to be. (June 9th) Magnum is watching her through the window ;-)

June 10th.....due day....3 hours before the first puppy is born! Checking out, which place is more comfy for giving birth ;-)

....or maybe in the whelping box as usual? Magnum is watching “his wife”......for hours! Such a lovely boy!!

And here it is......the first baby girl... (14.35 PM) .Only 5 minutes old, but drinking eagerly!

Sleeping in a comfy basket....nicely warmed with a heating pad. In the meantime "yellow" girl was born!

One hour later.....blue boy....big and strong comes into our lives. Three puppies are born. It is 5 pm. Time for a break ;-)

Magnum, Duschka, Larissa (who was the best birth assistant I could have asked for - thanks again Larissa!), Ayla and the babies In the meantime Magnum is guarding the front door.

and Ayla is watching the babies. Duschka (left) needs some exercise to get her contractions started again.

Um 8.50 PM finally green girl was born. And short after “Orange girl”......let’s see how heavy you are little girl!

Cleaning procedure already started. ;-) 6th and last girl “turquise” arrived sound and healthy at 12.24 AM

Good job, Duschka.....now you can smile again ;-) The young family moved into the clean and nice whelping box.

Sleep well little guys......I am just right beside, watching you! ;-) The room service brought breakfast for the mom! And the babies are having breakfast as well!

Proudly present: The Roughdiamond D-litter! :-) OK guys, ready for the morning toilette.

One day old “green girl” June 12th

That’s how puppies sleep best. This position looks comfy too. ;-)

While the roomservice is cleaning the puppy residence... ...the young family gets some fresh air.

Who can sleep more cuter..... ....than a puppy does?

Proud and beautiful mom. Yellow girl definitely prefers to sleep on mommy’s legs.

Wow....they grew already! A little calcium snack for the nursing mom.

3 days old little baby just a little more than one hand full ;-)

and already so cuddly :-) Magnum as “watch dog”.

“Not sure, whether Duschka likes to having me closer.” “I better stay outside and wait for her.”
