The Babies Arrived!

I'm a little red-in-the-face about this, as I told several people that of the 4 puppies Giggles produced, 3 were boys and there was one girl. Giggles delivered at the vet's office, with the assistance of some oxytocin. The first puppy (the "girl") was born a little on the blue side, so I think the vet just glanced at the tell-tale parts as she was making sure the puppy decided to breathe and such. The first puppy was the biggest, so it was easy to identify without verifying the gender. After I got home (and took a nap), I decided to take photos of the puppies. I was going to go in birth order and took what I thought was the first born and turned it over and it was a boy. So, I chose another and another and the last one - they were all boys. So, we have 4 boys instead of having a girl in the bunch.

Giggles is being an excellent mother, although she wasn't sure she wanted anything to do with the first one. By the time the last one was born, she cleaned the puppy and chewed off the cord.

On the way home, I was thinking of what to call them (as a group - while they're here) and thought of "Katrina & the Waves" (even though the "Waves" weren't a 3-man back-up group - I don't think...) and then I thought of Gladys Knight and the Pips - since the boys were smaller than the "girl." Now I guess they need to be the Temptations (were there 4 of them?) or the 4 Musketeers. ;-)
