Ro with babies

This picture was taken about two hours after they were born. The pups did very well right from the start.

Taurus being weighed

Weigh-in time for Taurus. Pups are weighed at least once a day to monitor their weight gain and make sure they are growing as expected.

Dinner time and it is harder for all the pups to find room

We let the pups out into the breezeway and mom followed. Then they attacked.
