Snoozing: More Added

This is a low quality photo taken with our camera that we use to watch Jeannie. I must admit I tune into her many times during the night even though Dennis is watching her. I yearn for a full night sleep but my curiousity gets me everytime. It's nice to see what is going on. This is how she sleeps with them most times and she loves to snuggle them in.

Anne Waters dropped off some blankets. I am amazed at the generosity of people and truly it is most appreciated. These are all Tanners baby blankets that lined his crate. I will be posting a photo later today of one.

Pups are well and gaining each weigh in. Nathan is at the Markham dog show till the afternoon so my blogging won't happen again till late today. Dennis will be snoozing in my office as Jeannie was restless last night. Good news her ducts are softer now but we continue on a course of antibiotics for 7 days.

Here are the weights this morning and this was BEFORE a feeding. After a feeding will give you greater results.

Boy

9.50oz/270g - Birth 6.40oz/182g

24 hour gain: 1.15oz

-----

More White gal

8.70oz/248g - Birth 6.10oz/173g

24 hour gain: .85oz

-----

White Collar Gal

9.50oz/269g - Birth 6oz/170g

24 hour gain: 1.15

These are all great gains and tonight the more white gal may be bigger than the rest. They are so close that it fluctuates like that. They are all doing really well. The bottom milkbar slots have the most milk and the quicker flow so the more white one tends to stay off of those. She likes the ones just above. It doesn't help that those were hard and impacted but that will change as they soften up. That has already started. It means the antibiotics are working. Usually they work faster but the pups didn't want to use those slots as much as it is simply harder to get the milk flowing when it is impacted and when they do it comes out squirting like you broke through the dam.

Here are a few videos taken last night.

My pleasure. I gave her a full body massage today and I think she she melted. She deserved it!
