New home for Arrow

Arrow, (front right) went to her new home today. She's now a Bay area Cardi. We'll miss her, but wish her well with her new family!

TGIF

A new day, and eyes are opening! Six of the puppies have their eyes open today, the other three will most likely follow suit tomorrow.
I trimmed nails on their front feet again last night, amazing how quickly those little nails grow.
Four of the puppies have doubled their birth weight. That's always a nice milestone. The two littles are up to 12 plus ounces, and when I went in last night to give them a bottle they were stuffed to the gills after Tina fed them so didn't need to supplement. This picture is of six of them. The one with all the white off to the left is a boy, then it's girl, girl, boy, girl, boy from the top.

Getting bigger

I just went in to check on the puppies and found Tina Sparkle feeding them. This is the way she feeds them quite often now as they can all hook on at once. She also offered them her cookie, which I told her they wouldn't be able to eat it just yet. Amazing how instinctual they are. No eyes open yet, but some are almost so perhaps tomorrow. I talked with Andrea yesterday, Salsa's litter is doing well. I can't wait to see them again.

And the boys

Here are the boys. They are all getting quite adept at moving around the box, and very good at climbing out of my smaller box that I put them in while I'm cleaning the big box. I'll have to get a deeper box!

The girls

Here's a group shot of the girls, 10 days old.
Hard to see who's who, but figured I'd post it anyway.
The little munchkin gained over an ounce today. She's in the front of this picture.

9 days old today

Nothing amazing to report today. The little munchkin girl still needs some assistance so I'm giving her a bottle feeding every two hours or so today. We'll see if that makes a difference. Her siblings are growing nicely. No eyes open yet, but that should be our next milestone, then ears open soon after that.

Look Ma, No Dew Claws!

Here's a group shot taken this morning. We did dewclaw removal yesterday. Andrea, brought Salsa and the puppies and they got theirs removed, too. Interestingly, my group had 5 with rear dewclaws, Salsa's litter, no rear dewclaws. I could have done them earlier, but wanted to wait til they were all gaining so yesterday was the day.
