Easy Lenny!

Our Hound Dog Badger just had her pups! We realized she was knocked up like two weeks ago, so this went pretty quick for us. We were trying to guess when the puppies would come, (well Cory tried to guess, I know nothing about this puppy business!) He figured pretty close, because when he went out there yesterday to move her to a barn to have her pups, she had already had two of them! One didn't make it, he froze in the snow, but we got her in our house just in time for the rest to come! It was the coolest thing to see! I've never seen a dog have puppies before, so it was a new experience for me! She must be a pretty tough dog, because she dropped 8 of those little puppies with out any drugs, and she didn't even make a sound! While we were watching, Cory and I were talking to each other, and then we looked back at her, and there was another one! It was so funny! Cody was so excited, and it took everything we had to distract him from going in and bugging her. We would let him in once in a while, until the mom started getting nervous (easy to do with Cody around) and then we would make him leave for a little while again. We had to set up barricades to block the puppies from Cody. He tries to be gentle, he just isn't! Cory's new nickname for him is "Lenny", and it fits perfectly!

Here's the mom trying to get situated in her bed, and trying not to smother any of her pups!

We lured Badger away from her pups with some food so we could get a count.

Here's Cody on one of the occasions he is allowed to hold one of the pups. He is so excited!

One second after this picture was taken, we told Cody to put the puppy down, and he chucked it! Hence the name "Lenny!"
