1. ohhhh...I think she'll be glad when

her pups are born, poor uncomfortable-looking mama!

How many pups do Great Danes usually have at a time?

[elleng]

2. Really glad!

Not sure, but another friend of hers (I've been watching at this site for a couple of weeks) appears to have had 10. The 10 pups have been running around (and sleeping, eating, etc) until this pregnant one became a prominent feature.

3. Please get her spayed.

[elleng]

4. She and her siblings are trained as service dogs.

5. Thanks for telling me that.

As a shelter volunteer, I rarely enjoy puppy news.

6. Same here.

I live in San Antonio where thousands of companion animals are killed each year because of pet overpopulation and irresponsible pet owners.

I spay/neuter anything that crosses my path that I am able to legally spay or neuter. It's knee jerk reaction because of all of the death that we've seen down here.

I appreciate that someone else understands the significance!

7. She must have been ready to pop when you saw her

I checked out the link and found five puppies lounging around. They didn't seem to be new-born pups though.

8. That's an earlier litter. She hasn't had hers yet.

9. I've been addicted to this since you posted it elleng. Looks like puppies are being born tonight.

17. Just saw this, Meemie,

been traveling today.

HAPPY they're arriving! My pregnant daughter was hoping she'd be doing the same shortly, but her doc said she'll have to wait a bit! 'Due' Dec 23.

22. Awww... A Christmas baby! Congrats! :) I love that Chaos has two midwives for her puppies.

10. Poor thing!

She looks like she is ready to for pregnancy to be over. Every time I check in on the web cam she looks so uncomfortable.

11. Poor sweetie!!!

Good luck to her and the pups!

[LisaLynne]

12. OMG HERE COMES THE PUPPIES!!

AHHHHH! Sorry. It's very exciting.

[LisaLynne]

14. She looks more comfortable already. :)

First one is a boy, I guess.

[elleng]

16. JUST got here,

been on the road MD > NJ and dinner with daughter in her new house where there is WiFi, so I can watch for a while! How many are there now???

Thanks, and glad you're watching, LisaLynne!

[LisaLynne]

18. Hope you had a lovely evening!

I lost count, but OMG, the one lady is holding her paw now - just what I would be doing.

[elleng]

19. I've had a pleasant evening,

and held my pregnant daughter's paw! Went to a good Italian restaurant, because I didn't want her to cook today. We'll work on Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow!

20. I'm going to start a puppy birth watching thread

Do you mind? this is really exciting and intresting (I've never seen a live birth of puppies before). Let me know if you'd you'd rather start your own and I'll delete mine. I just thought for anyone skimming the thread titles more people might notice it and want to watch.

[elleng]

21. No, I don't mind at all!

I may be hitting the sack soon, and its FINE for others to contribute to the effort!

[avebury]

13. The puppies are starting to arrive! nt

[LisaLynne]

15. I am watching it, too

She has a good support system, ha ha. They are taking excellent care of her.

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. 7 so far.

8 was stillborn. :'(

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. 11 all together (2 stillbirths :()

Thanks again elleng. Amazing to watch.

[elleng]

25. Thanks, Meemie.

Back watching, finally.
Yes, it was amazing to watch!

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. For those who enjoyed this the last time around, Noel is going to have puppies

around Thursday per the organization.
