Nome and Elim in a quiet moment of play.

Exhaustion. Keeping up with round-the-clock feeding, cleaning and bedding changes is taking a toll.
Cedar is only accepting one or two pups at at time for nursing... 
but the chosen ones are lavished with love.
The pups are fed and clean. Rather than just staying up until the midnight feeding, I am off to bed early. Cedar and the pups will make sure I am up in a couple of hours.
