Figgy and the Three Musketeers? or the Three Amigos?

Figgy waiting while I weigh her 1st born pup.
1st born, Black Patch Boy 11 1/4 oz at birth.

Two more boys... 12 3/4 oz and 10 5/8 oz. See brown nose on last pup, he is a Liver.

Figgy with her three strong boys.
Puppies were born on March 25, 2014 as expected. We have three boys. 1 is a Black Patch boy. So are they the Three Musketeers? Three Amigos? Three Dog Night? all good suggestions... :)

Figgy had a long, drawn out delivery, but no complications and all are healthy and strong. Figgy has plenty of milk, and her temperature is back to normal already. It can run a tad high the first few days after whelping and with the whelping box needing to be kept at a pretty warm temperature. I have a space heater going in my room, plus a trouble light and a heating pad. I am almost ready to put on some shorts, and break out some Pina Coladas (feeling a bit tropical) but when I go into the other parts of my house... brrr... c'mon Spring!

Boys are nursing well and standing up on rears when nursing. Strong little buggars. :)
