Day 1

Bridget and the pups are doing very well.  The caretaker who raised Bridget's first litter in Colorado reported that Bridget was an exceptional dam, and indeed she is.  She is taking motherhood very seriously, and moving expertly and carefully around this mass of puppies.  Her milk production looks good, and all 10 spiquots are working, although I suspect we will need to bottle feed by week 2.  Below are puppy stats.
