GCh Cimarrons Learning to Fly TC OFA whelped her first litter throughout the day yesterday then into this morning. She started around 930 yesterday morning and had her last just before 7 this morning. I think she is done. I sure hope she is done after 21 ½ hours! Unfortunately, due to her inexperience, the pups being slightly premature, and probably her age, only one boy and one girl survived. Hindsight, Flyer probably would have been better off having a C-section. The sire is first time daddy GCh Marquis Horse With No Name OFA. Liana New says her Caballo is smoking his first of what she hopes will be many cigars.

For the boy, from Pink Floyds song Another Brick in the Wall, I will call him Cimarrons Dark Sarcasm because of how dark he is (kind of like his daddy). For the girl, I will call her Cimarrons Pour Some Sugar On Me from the Def Leppard song of the same name. /steve d.
