Maya whelped a litter of 13 beautiful puppies, all healthy and doing well. An unusual thing about delivering this litter was that it contains a set of true twins, rather uncommon in dogs. A set of puppies was born together at the same time. As I opened the amniotic sac, the first one delivered was a girl. Within that sac was a boy in his own amniotic sac. Attached was a huge placenta. They were born the smallest weights in the litter but healthy, strong, and growing quickly. I’ll enjoy watching these two to see if they show any unique behaviors or interactions similar to human twins. Weekly updates on the litter will follow here, and a daily picture is placed on Instagram @bennettgoldens and uploaded to the website. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Much to be thankful for, not the least of which is this gift of life.
