We have Malamute Puppies!!!

[judy]

Jessie's dog, Tikani, delivered 8 beautiful little pups on Sunday, by cesarean section. There are 6 females and 2 males.

She rejected the puppies at first, so we were bottle feeding, peeing and pooping them, and keeping them warm and calm. Thankfully, she began to care for them Monday night, and they have gotten chubby already!

She still has to be watched 24/7 because she lays on them and doesn't get up when they start squealing. She also nipped one on the head today. I don't know if that's normal, or what,but Jessie doesn't trust her yet. Jess had been staying up all night with her and Mackenzie has been doing day shift. I was there all day today to keep Mackenzie company and let Jessie sleep. Steve has been home, and was very helpful, but he has outworn Jessie's patience as of today. It's time for him to go back to work I guess.

They are the cutest little things! I have really enjoyed taking part in this!!! I'm a great-grandmother now:);):D

They are Alice, Molly, Rosie, Dancer, Nanook, Cheyenne, Zach and Cody. Cody is very demanding, and Mollie is the runt of the litter.

What cute puppies!!! I agree with the others on the colors.....interesting, yet so pretty!!! I'm glad to hear that the mother started helping out because it's a chore to feed and care for that many puppies without her. Thanks so much for the pictures!!! Great-grandma Judy........It has a nice ring to it!!! LOL

I don't know all that much about the colors. The 3 big dogs are black, gray and white, pure white (rare), and a rusty brown and white. The puppies are the black, gray and white, a couple of black ones (they are twins - came out of the same placenta), and 3 white ones.

They are sled dogs, love the cold, go from 60 pounds (Tikani) to 160 pounds (Buddy). They are hard to train and must have an alpha human or they won't obey. Not my favorite breed, although I love Tikani. Buddy is the dog who killed my Gracie. I NEVER bring my dogs over there, and Jessie would never let Buddy and Belle near the puppies. They don't treat Tikani well either since she came inside.

I like Yorkies! There are so many other wonderful breeds also, why bother with such a difficult breed? They are not my cup of tea, but they sure are cute puppies!
