Thank you, thank you, so much.
Your kind words have meant a great deal…
Dally is doing fine.
A shot of oxytocin this morning just to make sure there was nothing left inside… and she’s happy being Momma.
So…
to the good news!
Five puppies… 4 girls and a boy… and they seem like they’ve grown already! Four, for sure, are tri-colors. The firstborn, a large girl with a wide white blaze and a glorious star in her forehead, at first glance looks like a tri. Shepherd spots, tan cheek patches, tan legs… but only her spine is black black, her sides look like a really dark shaded sable! She’s going to be interesting to watch and see what her color does.
Another one also has a star… the little one *could* have had a star if just a smidge of white would have cooperated. One has a “creative” collar and blaze, and the male has nice markings as well.
(I’m resisting launching into “One Fish, Two Fish…” this one has a little star…)
Only one has a name. The littlest girl. But perhaps I’ll save that for later…
Again, thanks for your well wishes…
BUSYBUSYBUSY week ahead.
Something about a 2012 Blogher Voice of the Year Award…(!)

Question and Answer Time (you know the drill… leave a question in the comment section)…
And, oh, yeah… A WEDDING.
Whew.
