Pupdate


I'm happy to report that Tess is a good mother and all the pups are flourishing. Only one, a female, is marked like Tess, the rest are very traditional.
Since Janice came the closest with her guess of 8 pups, she is the official winner of my foaling-carried-over-to-whelping-contest. Which mug would you like Janice? And hey, everyone, Janice has a birthday on May 28, so guess what she's getting as a birthday present from me? Yup, a pup!
Here are a couple photos- the huddleuppy:

And these two are a couple of my favourites:

The one at the top was the one born at 3:45 AM and the other one was the second of the two born at 1 AM.
I'll have plenty of photos over the next few days to share with you all (was there ever any doubt?!)
