One boy.
One girl.
Sorry for the bad photos. Both had trouble latching on, and would not nurse. After about 1 1/2-2 hours they were bottle fed, which daughter had to milk from their Mom. They weren't too excited about that method either.
Sadie, my oldest daughter's dog, was protecting, and mothering the babies when we brought them inside. Can you see her long tongue giving the girl a good cleaning? That is just her. She mothers all babies here.
They are back out with Mom, and more eager to nurse on their own (thankfully).
In the midst of it all, the power went out for 2 hours. I'm thankful it's back on and the sun is shining bright right now.

Congrats, and what a good Mommy dog :)
Today is a day for babies, I think--my first chicks are hatching in the incubator! Congratulations on the new additions to your farm.
Awww.... they are so adorable! And love that pic with the dog! I have a tiny kitten right now that one of my dogs keeps "bathing". Animals are so amazing!
Congrats on the new kids! I HATE trying to get kids to latch on...some just don't get it. I often wonder if I'm helping or hindering. Although yesterday I didn't help one bit with our new kid and she's drinking like a pro. Makes me wonder if it was just a fluke, if I'm meddling when I shouldn't or if it's just a case-by-case kind of thing.
I wish we had a good Momma Dog like you have!
You definitely have patience for this sort of thing
Glad they're back with mom
And that Sadieis such a sweet girl.
Hang in there
Pat
