And while 4 pups were in surgery, the other five were ......

enjoying less mayhem, had lots of room to stretch, had all the toys to themselves and their mom
found that only having five pups around, made life much more manageable and was quite happy to play and lie with them in the kitchen. Here she is cuddling with Clara Belle.







What a difference it makes to have just five pups around! Annabelle is very content to be with her babies.







The pups were very settled. Here is Olive on the left and McDuff on the right just chillin'.








Oops, look who is chewing the toy basket! Paddy is enjoying using the basket for 'teething' purposes. I wonder where Clara is....she usually loves to sit in it. :+)







Ah.......it appears it is siesta time for Clara, Patton and Paddy.
I think momma Joyce is going to get a goodnight's sleep tonight too. Yawn!! :+)
