So a few months ago we set up Peterman on a “date”, of sorts. Well, actually it was more like four dates with a female miniature australian shepherd. Her name was “Blue”. She has a “red merle” coat which is sort of the opposite of Petermna’s blue merle coat.

Everything has been going fine and we were expecting her to give birth in a couple of weeks. I’ve gathered up nearly all the supplies I need to build a whelping box. It was as a favor to Blue’s owner.

So last night at 12:30am we got a call that Blue was giving birth! She’d had one healthy looking puppy and her owner was very excited. She invited everyone over who wanted to come.

So Liz went over and helped out. She came back a few hours later reporting that Blue had given birth to EIGHT healthy puppies! I think six of them were blue merles and most were males.

So Peterman’s a father! He also celebrated his first birthday this month. He’s has a busy year, hasn’t he?!
