Monday evening

Quiet day. Everyone gaining weight, had a visit from Mary Klein. Most pups have pigment coming in on noses and lips already. Brook and Forest actually had a good bit of black on their noses at birth! A couple are trying to get up on their little legs to toddle. Not too well, but making the effort. Meadow actually was trying to pull herself between Neat's back legs and to a teat at birth, even before her back end was completely out of the birth canal. Safe to guess that these are going to be pretty active little devils!

Linda starts a camp tomorrow, so won't be able to visit the babies till the end of the week. That's actually kind of fun, since there will probably be a big difference from her visit yesterday afternoon.

My little Podengo, "Fada" came home from MI this morning. She was away at her very first shows. Fada left last Wed, so before the arrival of pups. When Fada came to us in February Neat sort of "adopted" her as a puppy, even though Fada was 9 mos. old at the time. So, as I expected poor little Fada is *very* confused as to why Neat wants NOTHING to do with her right now and makes ugly faces every time she comes near the pen. She'll figure it out soon. Havoc (my PWD) did. He now walks past the pen (to go outside) with his head turned the other way practically. And he knows that if he wants to be near me while I am in the pen, he'd better stay about 6' away! Neat makes her feelings *quite* clear. I'm sure Fada will get over it. Will be fun to see how she is when pups are big enough to come out and play! Fada weighs less than 10 lbs. herself, so pups may be a bit overwhelming for her.

Neat had me up around 5:30 this morning (needed out), so hoping she sleeps a little lonoger tonight! I am *not* a morning person.
