Pups Open Eyes
 Being a city girl, I kept trying to figure out which were the girls and which were the boys. They all looked the same to me and I knew that wasn't right. I ended up having to ask the Vet. Turns out they were all boys. Duh.
Anyway, we lost two pups within the first 48 hours--one red-and-white, one black-and-white. They simply refused to eat and failed to flourish. We did everything we could: bottle feeding, keeping warm, leaving with the Vet, everything. It just wasn't meant to be. So sad.
A couple of weeks after the birthing, the other three puppies opened their eyes. And I was lost. They all had blue eyes and were just the sweetest things you ever did see. Here's a picture of my best friend's daughter holding one of the red-and-white pups.
We ended up keeping the black-and-white one. If you want to guess what his name is, enter our contest.
Tomorrow, the pups at one month old.

And where was Mr Greg on the whole baby doggie issue? Did he sucker in too?!

When they were born Greg was--of course--out of town on business. As far as keeping a puppy, he was all for it. I was the fuddy-duddy. And, alas, I succumbed to the pressure and the over-the-top cuteness rating of the puppies.
