20 February 2005 - Day Four


They continue to grow by the hour. It's amazing how fast. Also, they are starting to show some personality. There are a couple, like spiral, that when whine and complain, even while they are eating. They've also begun to make sounds that are clearly dog whines and barks. It's little, but it's cute.

Here at 1pm Cinny is getting a nap. Thank goodness. She was nursing pups continuously last night for about 6 hours, as best as I was able to figure. It started around 11, and she didn't get them all off to sleep at once until about 5 am.

Here are pictures of five of the pups. Mouse over the photo for the name of each.


At the end of the day their weights were:

* Pup #1 - 'Spiral' - 20 ounces (+3)
* Pup #2 - "Big girl' - 20 ounces (+3)
* Pup #5 - 'Bitty girl' - 15 ounces (+1)
* 'Arrowhead' - 24 ounces (+4)
* 'Island' - 19 ounces (+2)
* 'Big Boy' - 22 ounces (+3)
* 'Short Stocking' - 19 ounces (+2)
* 'Blaze' - 22 ounces (+3)



The "ALT" tags don't seem to come across in Blogger. From the top, the pups pictured are Spiral, Short Stocking, Bitty Girl, Big Girl (vertical shot) and Arrowhead.
