Please welcome Nellie's second litter of six fabulous puppies!

Although I am still feeling the lack of sleep, I am so happy this whelp is behind us and all are doing really well. As usual, Nellie is happily eating and pups are content.

Here is how the births arrived:

• RED COLLAR GIRL - arrived at 11:18 am. She is a silky black and weighed 10 1/2 ozs.
• PINK COLLAR GIRL - presented minutes after Red at 11:20 am. Another silky black weighing 8 5/8 ozs.
• TEAL COLLAR GIRL - birthed at 12:14 am is a rich apricot. Weighs 9 3/4 ozs.
• BLUE COLLAR MALE - arrived at 12:22 am. He, too, is a rich apricot and the smallest. Only male of the litter at 8 1/4 ozs.
• PURPLE COLLAR GIRL - is another silky black weighing 8 1/2 ozs. Arrived at 2:24 am.
• PHANTOM GIRL - arrived at 2:34 am. She is the largest in the litter and weighed 11 ozs!
