Our Asia had a very long labor with several hours between each puppy. Then in a surprising twist she began having contractions just 20 minutes after a previous puppy. I called over my shoulder that she was having more contractions and just as I bent over to help her, a puppy literally SHOT out of Asia like a ROCKET!! He catapulted into this world in a rush of fluid and without a sack to hamper him he landed strong and loud! We were delirious from lack of sleep and practically laughed ourselves silly and kept referring to the puppy as "Rocket Man". Hence the theme of the litter! So in honor of our little Rocket Man, all the puppies' temporary names were based on Elton John songs. This litter was a wonderful, positive experience for us and we hope they will give as much joy to their families as they have given to us.
