Tonight 5 Days Old

Pups are really turning out to be quite the characters and their eyes are not open yet. Ruth gave this blue bed to us for Roxie's last litter and when she mentioned it I went to get it out of the whelping room. I hadn't used it yet as I didn't think they could crawl into it and when its up against mom they can't get to the bottom milk stations. But I went, let's give it a try and creamy crawled into it. One of the other rested their head. We shall see if any others climb in. Thanks Ruth for the reminder. I wouldn't have given them the credit and look they fooled me.

This afternoon I tried to get individual shots. Nathan came in midstream and we got first born gal twice as I didn't have the heart to say I did her already. He usually does this but has a lot going on today so I didn't want to bother him but knew everyone was waiting. I will try tomorrow to get our traditional hand shots. But these wil have to do till then. Here is the quick shots.

Can you believe they turn 5 days old tonight. Wow.

Here are today's videos.

So cute watching creamy make it all the way to the group and burrow in.
Thank you so much for the videos.
It's also interesting to see the pups in Nathan's hand because it gives perspective on size.

Will put a measuring tape next to one and snap a photo.

Added a tape measure on 3 but they are scrunched up and didn't want to wake them but they are now at the end of the gallery.

Thank you Darlah for trying out the blue plush bed I gave you. :-) Creamy looks so cozy laying in it! He/she seems to be the more adventurous one of this crew.
It seems? That the creamy ones if the litters tend to be more outgoing? Maybe? Like my little Katie.
Boy oh boy Spice looks ready to "pop". Best of luck to you and Nathan and especially Spice!

Ruth:

Think time will tell but Creamy certainly has a great deal of strength. Your Katie is special! Such spirit!
