Happy Little(r) Family

Sydney's little family is still doing well, although it's a little bit smaller. Two puppies were lost in the first 24 hours. A very sad time for us. :-( The little girl who was a bit cyanotic and had labored breathing right from the start, and unexpectedly, the tiny little red dog. The little girl was a fighter, and I thought she was improving a bit, but obviously not. The little red dog seemed OK but small and more alien than dog-looking. But he just slipped away from one minute to the next, and he didn't want to come back.

So the family stands at five babies, 3 girls, 2 boys. One of the girls is not as vigorous as the rest, but she is growing and I hope for the best. Syd continues to be a good mother, although I am supplementing because she doesn't produce a ton of milk, and she was very calcium depleted.

A proud Mama Syd with her babies.

Always available for comic relief.

Maybe some little boys shouldn't overdo it at the breakfast buffet (Sunday).
