4 Full Days Old

I will address the weight gains. They are exceedingly large gains. This only means that mom has a lot of milk. Each litter gains at different rates. It doesn't mean one is doing better than another. It only means that she has a ton of milk and is eating really well as mom needs sufficient milk for pups to gain at various amounts. Sometimes moms get upset tummies after whelping (exceedingly normal) so weight gains are less but it is not a concern. It really isn't. If a puppy is sick, you know and if mom has an upset tummy, we can always supplement. I suspect with only 3, Hallie will be the same.
Here are the videos. Check out the main and shorts to see them all.
Youtube automatically puts them in the folders according to how big the video is. It is nothing I control. Sorry you have to look at both.
I usually do weights at 7 days but with Hallie pending, I figured I would do it tonight. I just weighed them. I am doing them in order so look at birth photos to know which one is which.
