One happy mama!

Misty is sure enjoying her little babies and is being such a perfect Mama for her first time.  She stays with them day and night, nursing, cleaning and adoring them.  

Puppies are getting nice and fat.  There is no waiting in line at this Dairy Queen!

Such a good attentive Mommy!

Misty does not like to leave their side.  But every now and then she has a burst of excited energy in which she runs around to different people in the house looking us with a sparkle in her eyes, and grinning from ear to ear as if to say, "Come take a look!   I have BABIES!"

"Come look!  I have babies!'

She doesn't mind if me or the kids hold her puppies for a few minutes.  But she is very protective when it comes to the other dogs.   If the dogs get too close to her litter she may even get irritable and snappy with them.   They seem to know they are not welcome and tip toe around when they are in the nursery.  

Coco!  No means NO!  You cannot see my babies.

     
Coco is not the Diva anymore.  Misty is ruling the nest now!  Poor Coco.  She likes the babies.  They smell nice.  She just wants to take a quick peek.
