[Tink]

So far (not sure she's done yet) we have 5 babies. Just to prove to me I really don't know it all and can't always take the word of other breeders, she has 2 chocolate boys and 3 apricot girls! I'd been told that this pair would have ALL chocolate, so I'm actually pleasantly surprised! They've all nursed and look wonderful with wavy coats and a great shine to them. (Chips sire is apricot so I know where that came from!)

Hickory is doing wonderfully. She's let us touch them enough to find out their gender, and pet her while she's nursing without getting upset; and she even licked dh when he was touching the pups, so she's doing great!

I am so relieved that she was able to do this successfully without intervention and is so calm about us touching them. Thank you GOD!
