They're here! Guido and Mazie have given us a beautiful litter! We love the colors and variety of markings, and are looking
forward to watching them grow up.
The official date of birth is April 29, 2008.

|
|
| also white chest blaze, toes, tail tip. 12 oz. |

There are two males, six females, all vigorous and noisy, each one special and beautiful in their own way.
The first was born at 8:40 p.m., the last at 2:45 a.m. - a long night!
| #2 - girl, all white except the black patch over |
|
|
| her right eye. 11.5 0z. |
| #4 - girl, high white w/ red brindle patches on |
|
|

|
|
| some white toes & tiny tail tip. 13 oz. |
| #7 - girl, parti-color black (or blue?) |

Mazie is proving to be a wonderful mother. The puppies are all squeaky clean and getting round bellies already. We are
checking often to make sure the tiny girl is getting to nurse. She is very strong and determined, and can really hang on!

Sadly, there was another girl, solid blue with a very thin white face blaze, born second to last, but she never moved
or took a breath on her own despite our efforts. We will have our vet look her over, and then bury her with her Great-Grandma
Joy.
