Day 11 Centennial litter

My day starts with the 0400 feeding of kibble a al' mode. A face washing from Koyuk lets me know that the pups were fed and now it is time for her to eat.
Milk-drunk, sleeping puppies.

Three hours later I get my breakfast with puppy cuteness ambiance.  After feeding all the dogs most of my day today was spent trying to restore the Icemageddon damage to my irrigation system. What had been two zone circuits is now three - almost. A trip to the hardware store north of Eugene for one fitting and 300' poly-pipe produced only the fitting.
Coffee break.

Karmen came over to pupsit while I worked on plumbing.

 Lunch break.

Karmen is great when it comes to putting the puppies through new sensation exercises and trimming all those little, sharp toenails.

I came in when I realized I had to make the long trip to the hardware store to find Karmen in the whelping box and being adored by all.

 Best pupsitter in the world.

 After the futile parts trip, I cleaned out all the sprinkler heads on the two working zones so I could finally get water on very thirsty gardens; fed the dogs; fixed/ate dinner; watched news and immediately crashed as did Koyuk...

and the pups.

I was rudely awakened by Koyuk at 1130 letting me know it was almost her midnight kibble with ice cream meal time.
While she ate, I snapped  pictures of the last of the day cuteness.

Now I too need to find a comfy bed. The next 0400 feeding comes way too quickly.
