I haven't been to bed yet, but I am now heading that way. Lucky had a hard time getting started. I could have dealt with it if my own mom wasn't a hysterical mess the whole time! lol. I finally had Cindy to call her in the middle of the night. After Cindy told her the same stuff I had already told her, she calmed down, lol. ? Anyhow, after a LONG start, Lucky had her first pup, a little boy, at 2:50 am. Weighed 4 point 1 oz. Originally thought it was a black with tan markings, but as he dried, he appears to be a blue sabled with a tan head. Time will tell colors better. ? Second pup was a girl. Another weird one! She wasn't born Head first....wasn't born breeched either!! This is the first pup I have ever seen born in the fetal position. Back came out first and she was bent. I truly thought she was a goner, because of the way she was not straightened out! But she popped out so easy and when we got the sac off, she was fine. She is a tan, and get this....no tail!!!! Of course that is an automatic disqualifier for a show, but I am sure she will still be a great pet. Since this is Porky's first litter, and I know Lucky's background well, I can only assume this is a gene passed on somewhere by Porky. Anyhow, female, born 3:35 am, tan color, 4 point 3 oz ? Third pup was another male , born at 4:35 am weighing 3 point 3 oz. He looks like a black with blue markings...the black may end up blue, since the line carries a strong blue gene. ? Final pup was also a boy. Born 5:15 am. 3 point 4 oz. and a blue sow. The only sow. I actually expected the entire little to be sow so I was surprised this was the only one! The last two are pretty small. The first two, pretty big. ? Well, that is my update...now I am pooped! I have the kids off to school so I am going to BED....see you all some time after I get back from Dream Land. ? BIG thanks to Cindy for helping maintain sanity!!!! ? Marsha ? Do not tell God how big your storm is. Tell the storm how big your God is. ? ________________________________________________________________________ More new features than ever.
