Day 4 or 5?

Here is the gallery.

In all our excitement over the past few days, I just realized that the 1st pup born was on the 21st 3 minutes before midnight and the rest was born after midnight starting at 12:16am. The surprise pup was born at 406am. So how old are they in reality? LOL

Here are the weights (B) birth (N) now

1st born

(B) 7-3/8oz 210g

(N) 9-2/8oz 260g

2nd born

(B) 5oz 144g

(N) 7oz 199g

3rd born

(B) 5-5/8oz 159g

(N) 7-2/8oz 207g

4th born

(B) 5-6/8oz 163g

(N) 7-4/8oz 213g

5th born

(B) 6-4/8oz 184g

(N) 9-2/8oz 264g

6th born

(B) 8-4/8oz 241g

(N) 10-2/8oz 291g

They all gained - even the littlest approx 2 oz. They are all doing well. There is a tight fit to get to a milk station but it appears to be working.

4 of the pups have tan points on them - some more pronounced than the rest. 2 are back and white. We have 2 girls and 4 boys. 

Yoshi is a very proud mom. She is eating well. She is very attentive. But she is also relaxed - no fretting.

Just about the time Hallie and Nami pups go, they will move into their pen and will have play sessions. Wow... 

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