"... you are my sunshine, my only sunshine ~ you make me happy when skies are gray ..."

The "Divine Nine" awoke to bright sunshine this morning so I thought I would dedicate the 'photos of the day' to the
yellow collar girl, Katoba's Miss Sunshine ... "Soleil". She is quite a funny girl and, oh, so sweet. Originally
thought to be a possible companion girl as she was much smaller, more subdued, and not as 'fancy' as her sisters.
Now, I am REALLY looking forward to seeing her stacked up as she has suddenly presented with lots of personality
and many angles !! As far as the rest of the brood ... so far this morning, we've dremmeled toenails, gone through the
morning 'work out session', everyone received a sponge-bath, they had some playtime with Misty followed by their
second breakfast, and now they are all resting in a fresh whelp box. More than 50% of the litter has reached the 3
pound marker at just under 3 weeks, with one more just an ounce away. Early stages of weaning begin this
weekend, whereas we should see a big growth spurt.
