Day One

You know, I’d never seen brand new puppies before being there when Zen delivered this litter.  So, I took a LOT of photos.  Most were crummy, but I got a couple of really adorable ones.  I’m sure you’ll agree.

I pulled an all nighter that first night… and many nights thereafter. There was no fanfare of trumpets and awesomeness when the dawn comes- there was something a billion times better.  There were puppies.  And some espresso.  And then, a nap.  Borzoi puppies are one of the best things in the universe – even better, they grow up to be borzois!

When the dust settled and it was all over, we had 5 Girls, 4 Boys and all some shade of redhead.  Not surprising, given their parents.  Rita said it was interesting how they arrived: Girl, Boy, Girl, Boy, Girl, Boy, Girl, Boy, Girl.  She said that they were probably segregated by sex in each horn of Zen’s uterus… girls on one side, and boys on the other.  Doesn’t mean anything, just interesting.

I love these flashbacks.  Looking back, I can see how much they’ve grown.  My GOD how much they’ve grown!!! I can hardly believe it!
