More Arctic Pups! 1.27.26

As Periwinkle went into labor, we were still snowbound, though the skies were sunny! This is Peri's first litter, and it was sweet to see her initial puzzlement about the wee creatures surrounding her shift to highly competent and tender care for them. The pups are all healthy and thriving under their mama's attention and we're so pleased and proud of our Peri-girl! 

All of the weather coverage references to the Polar Vortex and Arctic Blast were the inspiration for us to look North - FAR North - for names for these puppies.
