Max and Rex's First Litter



















Last September 25 at around 3 am Rex kept banging on our bedroom door (he's sort of been our alarm clock lately! Prime trained him so well at this job!). As I opened the bedroom door, I was surprised that Max wasn't there to give us our morning hugs and kisses. A typical morning call would involve Max and Rex fighting over who would get the first hug and kiss of the day!

Panic set it. I knew right away that something's wrong. Rex rushed to the living room then out came Max from the back of the sofa--her favorite hideout. Hmmm.....that's unusual of Max. I thought, perhaps, the pregnancy sort of changed her morning routine. But then I saw Max's coat soaked all over.

Am I dreaming? Could this be the day we have all been waiting for? I hope not!!! It's been 11 years since I had my baby Geoff and I am definitely not ready for this!

I moved the sofa and found five (5) objects on the floor---yes, five!!! Again, panic set in. The first question that came to my mind was.... are those mice??? then Max approached and sat beside the five objects on the floor......Oh my gosh, the objects moved towards Max's nipples......it's official we are now proud Lolo, Lola and Uncle to Rex and Maxienne's first litter.

Here's a family photo taken immediately after the birth.

Super dad Rex will not leave Max and their babies.
