I blinked

It was an all nighter last night. I  put on a movie last night (lawyer- my favorite) I always like to see the little guy win. Anyway, I was keeping an eye on Lexi but dozed off a short time. About 5am or so, I finally started my cleanup process and disinfecting the whelping box, changing bedding etc. It takes about an hour. When I started to move the pups, I took a head count and noticed 2 too many. Oops, I must have nodded off just a tad too long. So, that makes 9...right?

So, I finish my cleanup, made a strong pot of coffee and hauled in some logs to start a roaring fire in the fireplace. The morning was a bit slow from then on. I had to comfort the  new dad as he had rushed in about 2am, right in the middle of No. 5's entry into the world. It was a huge oversight as someone was just moving him into his crate in the house and he just had to zip off in the opposite direction to check out all the excitement in my room. Maybe it was because he had frost bite on his tail. He was supposed to be getting some zzzzzzz but created a big stir instead. So, I had a bit of explaining to do. He always looks like he understands.
Anyway, after the morning buzz. I went to check out Lexi and just happened to see another little boy falling down to the blanket, head first. What a dramatic entry. I couldn't see if it was a boy but knew it had to be. Woah....that makes 10. We decided to name him TenTen. He was born, five hours later than anyone else- at ten minutes after ten. And, he was #10.
