Day 2

Put the English back with their mom this morning. She jumped in and fed a few of them, I think once I get a real schedule going things should calm down for both moms. To date we still have all 16. The runt who lost his tail is still holding on. I put him in first every time I put them in with momma.

I also took another look at all the babies and I've come to the conclusion that Hrothgar is probably blue. I'm 75% sure our newest litter contains 2 lilacs and 5 blues and we could only get that result if Hrothgar provided the "B" (black gene) and additional "d" (dilute gene). Bacon's litter seems to be mostly solid reds. We have 3 brokens which look too colored to show, but they have cute little blazes on their foreheads. There is one kit who looks like he could be a tort too. Bacon may not be red after all, but I reserve judgment on that until I see more fur grow in.
