...Make that 6 Boys!

I thought Dixie was all done.  It had been an hour since the 5th puppy was born. She was all relaxed. The puppies were all nursing.  Suddenly she jumped up and ran to the door.   It's normal for a dog to go use the potty after birthing....so I let her outside.   I watched her from the window while she wandered about the yard in the morning sun.   Suddenly she stopped, sat down and began licking her back side.  When she didn't get up after a minute, I began to wonder.  Could it be she delivered another puppy?   I ran outside to check.   And there was a little red puppy lying next to Dixie in the grass.  ....And can you believe it is another BOY!   Wow!  6 Boys!  I never would have guessed.

Such funny little hamsters, these puppies be!

Oh and by the way....this little boy is the smallest of the litter.  He weighs 5.3 oz.  and was born at 9:35 am.   I will double check all the puppy weights later on.  Right now, I don't want to disturb the happy crew.

Some much deserved rest....after a whelping well done!

Puppies know where to find the good stuff!

After a quick clean up and bath, Dixie is ready to go into seclusion for a few days.
