BG's Salix Lapponum

We took Willow to the vets to have an ultrasound and while I was hoping that there were at least four or five puppies because that is actually easier for the mother than to have one or two,  the vet saw seven or eight.  Willow is so small, I just can't imagine her carrying all those puppies, but she had six in her first litter with absolutely no problems.  We are now feeding her three and four small meals (because she doesn't have much room left for food) a day to keep her well nourished.  She has about two and  a half weeks to go.   This will be Willow's last litter and then she will be going to her forever home.
