What an exhausting 24 hours we have had! Stella started showing signs of labor last night around 11pm. We were up all night with no progress, which had me a little nervous as we are currently snowed in.
Finally at noon today, she pushed out a puppy! A beautiful little black and white girl.
Her baby belly was small, so I was expecting a smaller litter but she ended up only having the single puppy. We are so happy this little girl is alive and strong and healthy, but still a bit disappointed.
Meet baby, Aspen. 🤍 The name Aspen is inspired by snow covered Aspen trees and the meaning is ‘brave and resilient’ which is fitting since she is a singleton born during a snow storm 🫶🏼
