Not quite 4 weeks old, Vivid cruises the food bar.

She's not fat, she's big-boned.

We need our beauty sleep.

Check out the pink tummies and wrinkled legs!

We just can't take enough pictures of these sleeping puppies.

Budget's long delivery, between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m., is over and she mothers her litter of five black-and-white puppies. What a trouper she is!

Four puppies with different colored ribbons nurse while the camera records the birth of #5!

Vino: Pup #1, a girl, arrives at 7 a.m. and a long day begins for Mom Budget and Huntsman Kim.

Voodoo: Pup #2, a boy, arrives at 11:30 a.m.

Vodka: Another brother arrives at 1 pm while Budget is on the way to the vet to see what's taking his littermates so long to arrive.

Vivid: The second sister is born at 6:45 p.m.

Vicar: Pup #5, the third boy, is born at 10 p.m.

Budget finally gets to rest a little bit while her puppies nurse.
