As some of you know our BB (Butterbean - sorry I_N) and Dubaku had a litter on 28th April.
Mum has kept the pups well spirited away and covered in mounds of bedding, but tonight I came home to find the nest open and her nursing the pups laid on her side (probably due to the nice weather)
She then left the nest open to come out for her dinner, and so I know now that we definitely have 5 pups. They are all nicely sized (4 of them are right puddings and one slightly smaller) and all very wriggly.
I managed to watch them for a good couple of minutes, and can tell that we definitely have one satin girl, and at least 2 other girls. The other pups declined to turn over!
they are all definitely Black eyed creams and should all be longhaired (though I cant tell that yet!)
I'm really excited, just a month or so ago, I reconciled myself to not having a line from BB as her previous litter had all gone to pet homes, apart from Chip who I wont breed from. I still remember proudly though when BB feeding her pups was a calendar photo for HC.
Anyway, she's being a wonderful Mum again, just like last time, and no doubt in just over a week I will be able to show you them properly when their eyes have opened!
Until then, just take my word for it - they are great
