Polly had her litter of six puppies today from about 7am until noon, four girls and two boys. All are healthy and immediately began nursing. We visit the vet on Tuesday for tail docking and dew claw removal.
None of us can recall how it came about, but we decided to do a Gilligan’s Island theme to temporarily identify the puppies. In order of birth, we have Ginger, Gilligan, Mary Ann, Lovey, Skipper and Professor. We ran out of girl names since I couldn’t convince everyone to use Bunny (Bunny was in the never released pilot and was replaced by Mary Ann). So, Skipper is a girl…hope Alan Hale isn’t frowning down on us.

Ozzie, a Benayr cousin, sends congrats to Polly and Phil. Do you plan to attend the Houston show in July 2008?

Thanks much and hi to Ozzie! Wish we were going to Houston, but probably not. Always a favorite, our first show ever, many friends will be there, Phil got a Group 4 on Sunday last year and a little notoriety with his leaping ability when they televised the Friday show. A definite possibility next year assuming we campaign Phil again.
