On the positive side, I got to see some of the most adorable puppies ever.*
Mama didn't want to let them leave her side. (Sadly, they had to, or the doctor couldn't have done anything for them.) To distract them while they were wriggling and being held and shrieking, I'd give them a pinky finger, and boy could they latch. La Leche League has nothing on these little guys.

* This has nothing to do with the fact they are less than two weeks old and smaller than the palm of my hand. Nothing at all. Nope nope nope.

| Teeny tiny puppies I could hold two of these tiny puppies in one hand. Their eyes weren't open yet, and Mama was very protective. |

[edit: Based on bits of conversation I heard, I'm not sure our clinic did the tail docking. This may have been a case of "hey, you guys are open on Saturday and I need these puppies looked at." That happens a lot for us, as most non-emergency clinics in the area aren't open on Saturday.]
