Mini Mancha Quints!

This started at 8:30 this morning with two normal presentations, then two pulled breech, and one assisted head first, finishing at noon.

We kept saying, "Maybe the next one will be a doeling." "Tell me that's a doeling." "Not another buckling."

Five bucklings. Amazing.

Nehimama told me that I'd better bottle feed three to protect the dam's udder.

I sure wouldn't want five of those boobie sharks attacking me all at the same time Maybe there will be a soaking wet buck sell, in your very near future.. (we've had triplets bucklings lots of times.. I know what I feel like by the 3 boy.. can't imagine 5!)

Back in '99 my MinPin, Dixie had a litter of 6 male pups. I couldn't believe not one girl in the bunch!

OH MY STARS! How adorable! That's the cutest bunch I've seen yet. Love the picture where all are passed out. ALL BOYS? Are you sure you looked real good under there? LOL I believe I would have been a little disappointed also. Glad everyone is doing fine. Get some rest. Midwifery is a taxing job

"Boobie sharks"? Never heard that term before, but it sure enough describes the little suckers all squabbling over only two teats! And. . . . whoever HAS a teat, HANGS ON TO IT WITH THEIR TEETH!
