 |
| One of the last pups being born. Juliette is so calm during the whelping process, we are able to leave the other pups in the pool with her while the next pup is being born. With some dams, we need to move the pups into the warming box to keep them safe and out of the way while the dam is actively delivering a pup. |

| Tying off the umbilical cord. The green discharge is normal. |
