Right now we're waiting to see if there's more coming. We took 3 to the house for a while to rub, suction and warm.
Jennifer, our eldest, has been 'midwifing' Cotton for a couple hours now. Cotton drops one, barely cleans it, walks around a bit and Jenn starts massaging and clearing the newborn. After a few minutes Cotton comes to Jenn, sniffs around and tries to grab all Jenn's attention :o) She has climbed into Jenn's lap a few times.
Everyone is now moved to the milk room with a heat lamp in there. Hopefully she finishes soon and starts taking care of these little ones. I will make a vet run and get some colostrum later I guess. Cotton's a first-time momma and she's not really putting attention into babies just yet.

She sure is pretty. And you sure do have a lot of dogs! You must really like dogs, huh?
Well, we don't mind dogs at all. With 20 rural acres and alot of critters roaming around, dogs are a good thing here.
However, we are rural beyond rural here, and we are on a dead-end lane. Doggie Drop-off point for the county I think.
