Well, Sunny did have a puppy after all - only one - and had a C-section
on Monday, March 11. Having no experience with C-sections previously
(thank goodness!), I had no idea that moms often don't realize the puppy
is theirs and often have no milk right away since they didn't have labor to
get all their hormones going. So, from Monday evening until this
morning, I've been bottle/syringe feeding this spunky little girl, who is
very vigorous and full of energy. Early this morning, Sunny decided she
was ready - puppy managed to find her mom and start nursing and now
the two of them are pretty much ignoring me and hopefully we have
turned a corner and Sunny will be recovering from surgery and baby will
be getting fatter and fatter.

Jack and I will be starting obedience class on March 31 at Allied Gardens
- I always need more training. Maybe he and Eppie will present us with
miniature puppies in a couple of months.

Here is a link to a slide presentation about the Genetic Diversity Testing
at UC Davis that explains it pretty simply:
