Full Week Old

Pups are a full week and can you see how fat their bellies are?

See the gallery.

They want for nothing.

Willow had hers 2.5 days later and then Nami had hers 1 day after Willow. What a week it has been.

Hallie's pups have decided to crawl up and over her body. It makes her hair extra messy always even after combing asa they just mess it all up. I guess they are getting exercise that way but it is mighty funny. They eat and sleep well. Their bowels are working well since birth. 

Check out the videos. Today was a challenge as no matter how many times I said I am taking a video, the house was noisy. Oh well - normal, I suppose.

Almost a Full week

Here is the gallery.

Can you believe they are edging up on 1 full week? Pups are gaining well and active then sleep deep. I did do an individual video of the pups to show you what they look like. Check it out here.

I am dealing with nathan's nap, Dennis not getting into bed yet and trying to groom dogs going home. So blogs may be short. Apologies. The pups are great and are beautiful, imho.

5 Plus Days Old

Here is the gallery.

Hallie pups are doing really well. They want for nothing. They are all gaining and as a matter of fact all pups are gaining across the board.

Hallie is eating well though prefers mousse and Nathan needs to get more. He is trying to get them to eat kibble. They eat some but not like mousse.

Hallie was very happy to see me this morning. All 3 moms were over the moon happy. It is a great feeling when they love you so much.

Bedding changed, new food and water - weights checked. We are on top of it all and while Nathan showered I took care of teh adults, changed waters, combed out a couple of dogs and changed pads all while watching the litters on my ipad. Oh boy. But we did it.

Videos are up and I will add more later. I need to catch my breath.

4 Plus Days Old

Here is the gallery. 

Hallie's pups are doing really well. They have all gained and mom is eating a ton. Of course they love mousse and snacks the most. Yes, I am laughing.

I am having to clean bottoms now on both moms every single time they go out to go. It's a big job as you have to make sure they are dry for the pups. I wash my hands so many times, I am surprised they are not raw.

Still no food in the house. We can't do that till after Nami.

I did get some videos up and will be adding more as I can and adding to the gallery as I can.
