The pups are strong puppies. Yoshi is a confident mom. She dotes on them but also feels confident enough to go out of the xpen to cool off and to eat and drink. She is a great mom.
She gets snuggles daily while they sleep sitting on my lap on the recliner. It is important for moms to get special attention throughout the day. You can tell, it makes them feel special. They are doing such an incredible amount of work as are we as the pups are always monitored.
On occassion we have to help a stray pup on but they do rather well finding the milk stations. All pups are gaining well.
It is hard to believe that when Hallie pups depart, these pups will be out of their whelping box playing. At that time, we will remove their pen and place them in the larger pen. I no longer will have to climb on to the couch. There is no room, at the moment in here.
Nathan doesn't spend their early days with the pups. He waits for them to be walking and playing but I find these early days you get to know them really well. I enjoy all the stages.
If there are issues, it is I that stays up all night but other than a surprise pup, these pups are like Nami and Hallie's pups - they bring no challenges to overcome. I thought they may with how tiny Yoshi is when I learned how many pups she was having. But we had a welcomed surprise.
I am pleased with the pups and Yoshi. I consider her a dream mom.
