4 Days

Here is the gallery.

Every day I comb out the moms and they get a duck treat. The time I do varies as it depends on when I have the time and when they are not feeding.

The pups are all gaining and are plump. They are doing really well and so is Momma Hallie.

Dennis watches during the night and I during the day. Nathan prepares food for the moms and ooohs and ahhhs about the pups when he comes in but as they get older and come out to play, he will spend more time with them but I am usually the one who spends the most time with them and doing bedding changes, combouts, baths etc I get to see the changes daily and throughout the day. I would do the work if I can be the 1st to see the changes. It gets me to know them more intimately. 

Be sure to check out the shorts. Plus the main directory of the videos here. I will add throughout the day.

3 Days Really?

Here is the gallery. We will be adding to it throughout the day, as usual.

The pups are turning 3 days old and comparing their weights between litters, they appear to be on the same path. They already have round tummies. They are active and find mom most times unless caught behind her and then we help just like we did with Namis pups.

Be sure to check out the shorts. Plus the main directory of the videos here. I will add throughout the day.

The pups are doing well.

Over 2 Days

Here is the gallery.

Interesting enough comparing the weights at the same amount of days is very similar with Nami's, some are higher, some lower but very comparable. 

Pups and mom are doing well. I still need to do combouts but we have already changed the blankets, uploaded some videos, now blogging and uploading photos. In a day, it is a lot of work if you do it right but well worth it as from an early stage, you condition them to a clean environment. We know what we experience.

Momma Hallie is very attentive and loving. She is really a proud momma. 

Be sure to check out the shorts. Plus the main directory of the videos here.

Over a Day Old: All Gaining

Here is the gallery. I will add as the day goes.

Hallie is such a proud mama. She just is so attentive. When you come to see her pups at the 1st of the morning, she gets so excited to show the pups off.

Be sure to check out the videos. I already have videos up and will be adding more throughout the day. Also, look at the shorts.

Pups all gained. Everyone is doing well. The one pup still looks like it is chocolate. The other apricot and the other black and white. They are all beauties. 

Momma Hallie has loose bowels, which is normal after having pups. It will rectify. 

The moms have both looked at each others pups and sniffed them. I love that we have moms that trust each ot

About 12 Hours

Here is the gallery. I will add as I take.

Pups all had a very easy delivery after her long labour. She tried to hide under my bed. When I saw her pushing, I brought her right down. Momma Hallie is attentive. It appears we have a black and white boy, a sable gal and possibly a chocolate gal. They are beauties. They are eating well. 

Her videos will be found here. Also, be sure to check out the shorts. I will add as I go.

Blanket was changed. Mom is clean. She is keeping her pups clean and loved.
