Labor and Delivery Vids (Edited)

Mom finally got the chance to edit and clip the vids of the births so that she could share them with you. Robert wasn't "able" to take anything "graphic" anyway, because he had a tendency to run out gagging, so you won't see anything too embarrassing for Dotter, OK?


This first video is of Dott just after her first pup, which we are going to call Gimli was born. He is being named for the feisty dwarf in the Lord of the Rings—remember, Corgis are “dwarf dogs!”

Right away, Dotter started taking care of her little son. My little girl is such a good Mama!

Several minutes later, she started having contractions again. Number two was on her way…

The water broke and we knew an appearance was imminent…

This one is a girl! Dott started taking care of her right away, too.

Then Dotter had two babies to be proud of!

Dottie took some time to check all their little toes, and be sure they were ok...

Sadie wanted to see if her friend was doing ok, so she snuck up to take a peek. Dott watched carefully, and you can hear that I was NOT happy that Sadie was up there and I couldn’t get up there to see, myself!

While checking out the little girl, Mom noticed that there looked like there was an angel with outstretched wings on the back of her neck. Mom wanted to take a closer look at the angel on the back of the neck of the puppy we are calling Mercy… as in Angel of Mercy…

As you can see, I was sitting right beside Mom to be sure that I didn’t miss anything. I was practically GLOWING with pride!

There was over an hour between the first two pups, and the second two puppies, while Dott got a little rest.

But then she got to work on Number 3, and her second son made his appearance. We are going to call him, Kneelicks--- maybe spelled like the Star Trek Voyager cook named Neelix. Have I mentioned Robert is a Star Trek Fan. (Roll eyes!) Still, it sort of fits a corgi’s size…

Now you can see that she has three… Gee, I’m a poet!

Finally, after another long wait, Number 4, another little girl, appeared. Mom was pretty worried about her because she was so blue for several seconds, but she finally took a couple of gasps and got going. She will be called Grace because Mom says she only survived by God’s Grace!

My poor Dotter was quite tired by this time, and rested for an hour or so…

This last video was taken much later that evening, and shows Dott in her box, resting, with all her little ones laying around her. Isn’t the miracle of birth wonderful! (But I’m sure glad I didn’t have to do THAT more than once, and I’ll bet Dott would agree !!!)
