oooh! so glad you like the names! i too think they are a hoot... and are defintiely growing on me.
when i said the "last" in the series i did mean the very last episode shot... so that would be "Duty". i was/am bummed that there aren't any more, as they left the series hanging. i mean, i want to see his kid! lol.
well the whole litter is in a shed now which is GREAT... everyone is right on schedule. they should be all shed out by this time next week and then i can start feeding the little buggers. then i will truly see who will thrive or not... as far as the special needs fellow... well he is the only one not in a shed yet. bummer. but once he does shed i will attempt to feed him and then get him to the vets. so far, he is doing o.k.... he has dropped his yolk sac and most of his umbilical cord and is slithering around quite well. he's a bit slower than the rest, but his kinked back end is the reason for that.
we did notice that one of the kinks is right on his vent/cloaca which may hinder his deficating... which would be not good. but we are still keeping our hopes up for him/her. and of course he will get the best vet care possible. so he has a fighting chance.
and his name? well... don't laugh, but i have to admit that Boatswain Styles was my favorite character. the dude was goofy, fun and a bit "off" (he did pick up rats with his teeth you know... lol). so i named my little "off" special needs fellow "Styles".
we named the pick of the litter "Horatio" of course... :)
