Day one and two
Tinker Two standing on top
Little Tinker Two came out frantically waving her very muscled little legs and screaming at the top of her little lungs.  She hasn't stopped since... investigating every inch of her whelping box, mother and me while strongly voicing her opinions.  Lovingly nicknamed KVetch.

The HeartSong
'Woodland Fantasy'

These two magical girls were born Sunday, July 9, 2006 between 5:30 and 6:15 A.M.  My most favorite niece has chosen 'Tinkerbell' as a name for one of them.  And who am I to argue that 'Tinkerbell' is not a woodland fantasy creature?  The other princess is named Iridessa, a beautiful fairy.  Before we knew who was who they were nicknamed The Tinker Girls.  Tink One is now Iridessa.  Tink Two is Tinkerbell.
 
Little Tinker One.  So soft.  So quiet.  So sweet.  So far.  Her markings are like an oyster shell.
Proud Mom.  Very good Mom.  In these first few days, the joy of watching Riata deep within her maternal love is even more fulfilling then the puppies.  She loves to share them with me...  nudging them and looking at me... licking me when I pet them...  laying her face against me when I sit with her...
