#2 aka Sasha - Birth day pics

2/24/08 sasha was born second (hence his title #2). we had no idea what we would be getting as far as looks and once 2 came out looking almost identical we realized we need to tie ribbons on them to know which was which. then the third puppy was born (his title was mr. brown, real name Joey) and then all the rest looked different so we stopped with the ribbon.

2/24/08 after each puppy was born he would nurse until Pichu started having contractions again. then we'd move them to an incubator box that had a heating blanket on the bottom to keep them warm and keep them out of harms way as she was delivering. this is sasha & oliver in their incubator box.

2/24/08 the 8 of us. all puppies are delivered. momma dog and human parents are sweaty, tired and amazed.

2/24/08 this could be sasha or oliver. a couple hours after birth. pichu was confused by these little being that hurt her so much. she growled at them the first night until her mothering hormones kicked in after they started nursing.

2/26/08 we soon realized that sasha had a big white spot and oliver had a small white spot. if you couldnt see their chest though they were identical.
