Ahhh - Sleep!!

Well, after the 8th puppy was born, we thought Mieke was going to have one more, so we were up until after 5:00 a.m. Finally, we were so tired that we decided to go to bed anyway. I'm glad we did because she was done at last. She is such a good mother! About 7:30 a.m. we let her outside to go to the bathroom and I don't think I have ever seen her move so fast. She did her "thing" and was back at the door in less than 5 minutes. I think we'll be moving her bed into another room, though. 7 puppies are never quiet - even if they do make the cutest sounds, it's hard to sleep in the same room.
