Pic of the Litter



After a long and quiet labor, our 2-year-old JRT, Lucy, gave birth to 7 (SEVEN!) adorable little puppies! She's a five-pounder, so we were naturally shocked at the number of pups. But what do we know? So long as it never happens to me....

Lucky little Thomas, on waking at 3 a.m., got to go out to the garage with daddy to check on the laboring Lucy. Despite the middle of the night burst of excitement, the good boy went back to bed and awoke again at 8 to tell me that Lucy had a homebirth. ;)

These purebreds will be up for sale on craigslist(dot)com or in the local paper once they're weaned - incase anyone is interested. (It'll be just in time for Saint Nick's day - wink wink nudge nudge).
