The puppies arrive!

Early Monday morning, the greatly anticipated Maggie x Rico litter arrived.   The first arrived around 1:35 am and the last around 6:54 am.  I must say Maggie was very efficient pushing 11 puppies out in about 5.5 hours.  The whelp went well, and we're excited to see both mother and babies are doing well!   We were all a bit tired by morning, but there's just something about the arrival of new pups that keeps me from going to bed!   Maggie didn't need my help, but I think she appreciated our watchful eye, and the reassurance that she was doing a great job.
