  5. February 12, 2012 Unnamed - Black pup
  6. Februaryz 14, 2012 Baby Cupid - a black/ dark blue colored baby was born on Valentine's Day and looks to be normal weight and development. Can be seen bonding with her mother. The umbilical cord is about 4 inches long, but will be rubbed off in the sand as she wiggles around. Hopefully, people will stay behind rope so that the bonding time will be well established before the first flush!

Cupid wishes everyone a Happy Valentines Day
