Barely! Melanie is the daughter of our friend Jane who is a veterinarian and both of them helped deliver the pups. Both are amazed at how people-oriented this litter is -- usually pups don't start to really relate to people until they are 5 weeks old. But this crew really loves to be held.

Last night, after the last feeding, Linda and I sat in the box with the puppies while they all fell asleep in our laps. Each puppy touching one of us. And we just talked for about an hour. It was one of the most relaxing times we've had lately.

On the other hand, this morning was a mad dash to clean up after a classic "poop event" but, hey, that's the joy of puppies.

More photos to come. They are getting very cute!!
