Rosie Delivers Baby Tuliq

Rosie gave birth to a singleton pup. A beautiful and vibrant girl named Tuliq. So named in honor of her Alaskan heritage, our good friend Kim Fitzgerald and Rosie's mother, Tulipq.  We do believe Rosie had a couple of other babies who sadly did not make it much beyond mid-term.  We are lucky that Tuliq survived and is doing so well.  Rosie had a fairly long labor but was doing fairly well until close to the end when we did have to make the call to the vet to have a shot of oxytocin to induce greater contractions to help push out the baby.  Kim and Kelly Berg were outstanding and were with us during the early hours of the morning and then later at the vets.  It was an experience for us all and so glad we shared it together as close friends. Rosie loves the girls and was very comfortable having them around.  Tuliq was born at Rumney Animal Hospital on April 3rd, 2013 at 7am and weighed 15.8oz.  Mom and baby are doing great!
