Introducing the three newest members of our family

Luxor's and Qena's

Puppies!

Qena delivered three strong puppies on Luxor's first birthday, Tuesday December 17 - just one day after her own first birthday on the 16th!

The first at 6:35 pm was a hearty tri-color male weighing 10 ounces.  He was followed at 7:15 pm by a sweet red-and-white female also weighing 10 ounces.  At that point we thought it was all over and that Luxor and Qena had simply replicated themselves!  But - SURPRISE! - a third puppy had been hiding from us!  At 7:51 pm Qena presented us with another red-and-white, this one a male weighing 9.5 ounces.

We hope you enjoy these pictures of the births of the newest members of our family!

As labor begins, Qena wishes she were somewhere - anywhere - else.

After the Tri Boy is born, Mama Qena is not sure what to do so she takes a break - and so does the puppy.

With the birth of the Red Girl, the instincts kick in and Qena finally gets the hang of it - and so do the puppies.

And Red Boy makes three!  Mom is exhausted, but the three pups - Red Boy, Red Girl, and Tri Boy - pull right up to the milk bar.

Papa Luxor was the perfect gentleman during the whole miracle.
