| Well, under normal circumstances, that would be the case. This litter however, had a more interesting start on life, which needs to be acknowledged. In August, when the parents were being bred, the severe rain storms caused power outages, and floods everywhere. Trees were fallen all over, and getting anywhere was difficult due to the many road closures. Last Saturday, as Murphy reared his head again, a severe snow storm hit, which again brought so many trees down, causing thousands of families to be without power for several days. This was the day, with our power and phone lines out, and no way to get to a vet. in an emergency, that Maple decided it was time to welcome her puppies into the world. My husband, Al and I scrambled around the house finding any candles, flashlights, batteries, and 1 lantern hoping all the time that Maple would at least wait till the morning. No such luck. Her first puppy, Hurricane, made his arrival around 9 pm that night. With the assistance of my neighbor Lori, who got a quick course in midwifery in the dark, we helped Maple welcome her 9 pups into the world. Hence, the theme: WEATHER |

| All the pups were fine with no complications arising. Thank God. Actually, they didn't even notice anything different than normal. You see, new born pups are born with their eyelids shut closed, so they asked "POWER FAILURE" what "POWER FAILURE?" |

| One would expect the theme for this litter, which was born only 2 days short of its due date on 10/31, to have a Halloween theme. |
