Do really White Cranes bring babies…?

When I was about ten or eleven, I asked my mother, a former  catholic nun (it is a long story I will tell you in the future) that “where babies come from?”  While she turned pale and her eyes glazed over, she nervously mumbled to me that, “babies come from White Cranes who drop them down through the chimneys of houses.” Since cranes frequently built their nests on the top of chimneys, as one can see them all over in the Hungarian country side, it seemed  a reasonable answer and I did not force the issue further.  (I guess, I must really believed the story as I have no kids of my own but live in a house with three enormous chimneys what we religiously check every two months in the name of fire safety…)

Than yesterday, we got six healthy and adorable Pumi puppies from Felallo Fulu Fruska, (the closest creatures that can get to babies…) and for my surprise non of them came though any of the chimneys…

She labored hard and cleaned them beautifully like in a text book. I guess she has never been told the crane story…

She has given birth to two female and four male pups. The pups are healthy and gaining weight by the minute.  Fruska is a great mom and after her short and frequent elimination outings, she cannot wait to get back to her pooches.

We are excited and closely watching the pups’ developments and busy to look for names which is a formidable challenge in “Pumi Territory.”

More to come later…
