Heading to Day 4 Tonight

Here is the gallery. Photos will be added throughout the day. Also, the videos can be found here. Some are hidden in the shorts selection. Youtube does that and you may miss them if you don't look at the main directory and the shorts. It irritates me that Youtube does it this way but they do. So look in both. This morning I have 1 video uploaded and it is in the shorts. You can tell the new ones by the colour of the blankets. Makes it easier!
I weighed the pups and 2 gained over an ounce. One in 12 hours 1 in 24 hours. Guess which ones are milk hoarders. LOL Can you guess?
Pups are doing well. They are all gaining. The one that appeared black at birth as it was wet is really a deep brown with flecks of colour in the coat. It also has a white streak on its chest. It is hard to see unless you are upclose and personal.
Do you know who are the gals? Mustache gal and the very dark brown one. The rest are boys.
There will come a time where they won't gain as much. It goes in cycles. It used to drive me crazy. Even at times they may lose - not drastically but it is normal. Then they start gaining again. There are many factors here. One is movement. Just like us when you move you burn calories. They try to eat more and it signals to mom we need more milk. It all works.
What are the milestones we are looking forward to? The eyes and ears open. Yes, they do this at the same time. Now they have smell and touch only. They will attempt to stand and walk. Often they do this under the rails. Then at 4 weeks they will start eating starter mousse and coming out to play.
There will be a lot of changes to be excited about - well I am.
