A dozen minus one

Ok...so I topped my all time number of puppies in one litter this morning...well I actually had nothing to do with it other than be there to help first time mom, Reese, have her pups. Within 2 hours she had 10 pups and number 11 came an hour later and then she was done....or at least I haven't seen any more this afternoon, which is a very good thing. Three of them are very small so am keeping a close eye on them to make sure mom is letting them feed. Zoey has three of them that she is surrogating to help Reese out...well she probably doesn't think like that but I put three on her to help the little ones get some food and not have to compete as much.

Here they all are...YIKES!!!!!




Amended..........at 4 pm....Reese had another male puppy bringing the total to a full dozen...just hoping she isn't having a bakers dozen!
