I´m a great grandmother to 3 puppies!!!

Hi and Congratulations! Puppies are always fun and great to watch from birth on. Great for your grandson to know what to do! I have had several litters of Labrador Retriever puppies - large litters. And yes, generally, if it's a first time momma dog, when the first puppy arrives you may even have to break the sac! Then rub it up with a nice towel to get it breathing. I always keep a baby syringe on hand if they need help getting their nostrils clear. I've found, though that after about the second pup is born, then the mom gets the hand of things and makes it almost impossible for you to get in there and help. The last litter we had here was a litter of 9 puppies - all born alive, but sadly within a few hours momma lost track of one and rolled on it smothering it. The other puppies made it all the way and are all in wonderful happy homes today. If you get to the point where you need a good place to keep the pups as they get moving around a little more, I have found that those hard plastic small children's swimming pools works great and the mom can get in and out and the puppies can't. It's super for raising a litter of puppies. Have fun and good luck!

Hey! Congrats for the pups! Especially for the first one who was a lucky boy! I hope you will find good families for all of them (or are you going to keep them all?) I haven't assisted to any puppy delivery but I did assisted when my parents' pig gave birth. The little pink pigs were so fragile and so helpless!

Well congrats to a great grandmother! and grandson Diego I hope the puppies thrive in good health.

I've actually never been present at a puppy's birth, although I came about as close as I've ever come this time a week ago when we went to a friend's house and their dog was about to give birth any day. Well, she was already in labor at the time, but didn't deliver the first pup until 12 hours later. She ended up having five healthy puppies, but needed assistance with the first one because it was a breech.

Wow so nice to hear all three made it, you must be a very proud great grandmother. I have not had a dog who has had puppies and am sure it is quite exciting. How sweet of you to visit your grandson, he must be so very happy to have the new puppies and that Grandma will be visiting.

dear grandmother. it is very common for some puppies to die at birth. at least some of them are alive. you should be very proud of this birth.

That would have been so great! Your grandson is a hero for saving one of the puppies! I’ve never experienced anything like that, how wonderful! What will they do with the puppies? I bet they are so gorgeous! It is such a special thing to have a new puppy or kitten around, it’s a real treat, enjoy them!

how sweet, I'm happy that all 3 puppies are alive and I salute the real hero, your very brave grandson Diego who despite he's young age had the right presence of mind and alertness, I think he inherited he's braveness from he's grand mother

Those lucky babies, thank heavens for Diego and your daughter

firstly, good luck on you and your Silky. And thanks for the kindness of your grandson and your daughters. How luck the Puppies are because they met your family. Surely I keep a dog which we called it Spot. it is a female one and just gave birth to three little youngs. Everything goes well with my dear Spot. and the three little ones are very healthy and strong and sometimes they are so naughty that my mum often blame me for that. However, they are really cute and understandable.
