One Week Old

Reagan blessed us here at Kokopelli with 2 Gorgeous Black Girls, 2 Handsome Black Boys and 1 Very Pretty Blue Girl one week ago. They were born in thew wee hours of July 16 th and are very healthy and strong. Reagan being her usual sociable self, brings a puppy out of the 'nest' in her mouth at least once a day while I am in the kitchen or living room, looking up at me as if to say, "Hey Ma, have you noticed what I made? You haven't been to see me in the last 5 minutes so I thought I'd remind you how cute my new kids are!!" The when I say, what are you doing with that baby out here? She promptly drops him/her on the floor and looks at me to pick him/her up and follow her back to the nest. I of course gently pick said puppy up and pitter pat down the hall behind the little mother and place her gingerly down with her siblings to settle in to the black and blue knot they've woven to keep warm. Standing back I take a mental picture thinking how short this time will be and grateful that Reagan has alerted me to this fact. Not that I don't come see them dozens of times a day but you can never get enough puppy breath. Speaking of which, it's been about 5 minutes so... I'll catch you later :)
