Day 2

The happy momma, she's such a good girl and she is stellar as a new mom.  Everyone made it through the night and are growing already, the ribbons correspond to the birth order.  Seems I need to get to the store and stock up, they will outgrow the ones they have on shortly.

I believe this is where the term "belly up to the bar" came from.  These guys can eat!  So you can gauge the size, that is her paw in the forground, they are all good sized, about a lb. at birth, no runts and pretty uniform in size and color.  The last 2 were probably the biggest, at least they looked bigger, we are calling the last girl born, Stretch, she resembled a weiner dog, but she's already filled out her long skinny body.  She went right to the trough and made up for lost time.
