Sailor surprised me a day early, and presented us with two bouncing baby brindles this morning - a silvery brindle boy, and a seal brindle girl.The girl weighed in at 9.6 ounces - almost entire ounce larger than her brother, who weighed in at 8.7 ounces. The girl is a vocal little thing, screaming whenever she doesn't immediately find a nipple, and a restless, rooting nurser. Her brother is much more placid. Other than a few squeaks when we were getting him started after surgery, he's been a quiet, contented nurser. Sailor lost quite a bit of blood, so it was a bit scary for a while there. Scarier still is using a new Veterinarian for a section, since you're basically going in blind and crossing your fingers that they'll know what they're doing. We were lucky, and everything turned out well. Below the cut, you'll find some pictures of the new little rug rats. The firewire cord for the cam isn't long enough, so until my repeater arrives you'll have to make do with still photos. In related news, I need some naming suggestions. Since this is Rebel's first litter for us since his death, I'd really like to use names that include his. So, we're looking for registered names that include the word 'Rebel'. So far, all I can come up with is "Rebel Yell", which I'm sure has been used to death and back. If anyone out there has a more creative and imaginative bent than I do, leave me your suggestion in the comments section. Don't forget, brevity is of the essence, since using our prefix of 'Absolut Bullmarket' uses up a lot of the allowable letters we can use for their names.
