We have Puppies!

Boy, do we have puppies, 9 of them! Sweet Cara is a great mom, and the kids nurse in shifts, so she is hardly able to get out of the crib. Nic made her a big bed, so we can keep the pups corraled, at least for a little while. There are 5 males and 4 females, and they vary in color from deep milk chocolate to a tan. Several of them have a white blaze on their heads, they are so cute! Nic was up most of the night on Monday, helping deliver puppies. I supervised for a little while, but I had a doctor's appointment Tuesday morning. Once Nic had a little practice, he sent me back to bed, and stayed up until 3 to make sure she was done. There were 11 puppies, but 2 were stillborn, sadly. Still, that's a lot of pups for a first-time mother, and Cara is doing great, she is very nurturing and loving with them. We're taking orders now, if someone wants a beautiful, medium sized dog!
