Thank you all for the sweet comments. Tinker is a lady in every sense of the word .... that is, unless there's F-O-O-D around, then it's a free-for-all!

... I didn't know that Tinker was Clarice's daughter. Is she the only one out of the two litters that you kept?
Yep, she's the only one. (We still had Tom at that point, too.)

In each litter, ButterScotch (our RB cocker) had her favorite. Spunky Irma (calico) was the favorite of the first litter; Tinker the favorite from the second. Both of these girls were the last to leave (well, Tinker didn't leave).

ButterScotch was IN LOVE with the kittens and helped in all the motherly duties (bath time, play time, etc.) - it was the cutest thing! (She never had puppies, guess the motherly thing was just innate.)

I found a picture of the first litter but will have to post it after work.
