True to form, Fly waited until I was at work on Monday afternoon to go into labour. In fact, she held out until Richard was half way to his doctor's appointment. He'd asked his mum to check on them during the 2 hours he'd be gone, and she found Fly with one very large and unfortunately deceased female pup. So R came screaming home in a panic, but fortunately she had a couple more healthy pups before I arrived, and then another 5 once I was home. The last one was a very skinny little boy who arrived at 9pm, and just never really got a feed, despite all our best efforts. He died at 4am.
So we have 6 healthy fat little maggots: 4 boys, and 2 girls. They have a lot of white, but will darken up as they get older- and all black and white, not even one of the tris I was hoping for. One boy has a full white head, but both his ears are black inside, so hopefully he'll darken up a bit too.
I haven't any idea who Esme is yet- could even be one of the boys!
