A whole litter of little tiny Yorkshire Terrier snuzzballs popped into Ustream founder Brad Hunstable’s life last night, and the event was followed (and is of course still being followed) on Ustream…
I asked Brad to tell us about how things went down and this is what he said:
The delivery overall went well. We were very uncertain what to expect, so the chatroom was a tremendous help. We even had a few vets in there telling us to ensure we broke the sac once the puppies came out.
Funny story – after four puppies we thought she was finished so we went to sleep. Two hours later my phone was ringing over and over and the chatroom discovered she was having another puppy! So we went in there and assisted thanks to our community.
And we are excited about letting the audience name the puppies! There are a total of five puppies and we’d love to have the community name them! That would be fantastic!
Now that you’ve seen the cuteness, head on over to the Ustream site and throw in your name suggestions! Brad and his family will choose from what you submit! Tell them Snuzzy sent ya!

Lovely pups. My Raina just had puppies on Mar. 26. I always worry until the delivery is over. Did you have an x-ray to check how many pups to expect? I did it without only once and thought Raina still had a pup to deliver. Now I get an x-ray about 5 days before her due date so there is no guessing.
I love the puppies!
[...] veterinarians were in the chat room and gave their expert advice about what to do during the birth. The owner of the puppies said advice telling them to make sure [...]
I am a new member and this is exciting to help name the puppies!
Here are some suggestions;
The Duke of York (of course), so Duke or York, too!

I forgot to tell you…I was present when my cat BooKitty gave birth to 3 kittens right next to me in the cubbyhole of my computer desk! I had to cut the cords and remove the placentas. Otherwise it went great and she was a real good mommy. The kits have all been adopted out but I still have boo. She’s a beautiful persian looking black cat, without the squished face. Thank goodness for the internet…I had looked up cat birthing and knew how to cut the cords, etc. So grateful there were no complications! I was scared to death !
