Good Morning

Here are some videos. If you look at the time on the video you can see when it was taken. Some of them are in black and white as they are taken at night when the lights are off.
Pups continue to gain. They are strong and active.
Momma Adele has two nipples that are under developed. This happens a great deal on the ones closer to her head. I thought they were non functioning as they were flat but they started filling up and getting impacted. Goal is to just release pressure and try to get puppies to nurse on them. A couple will. Most won't as they are flat. The more they are nursed on the more the nipple will become prominent and then all will feed from them. I will continue today. Dennis kept attempting last night and was doing a decent job. She is producing a lot of milk from them. No biggie and next time she has pups they will not be flat.
I just tell you as a topic of interest. There is actually nothing wrong.
Also, pups tell you things. If they are piled up closely most often they are cold. If they are apart they are comfortable. If hiding under the rails at times they are too hot. If crying they are indeed too hot.

Haven't been on in a while. I see pups have arrived!!!!! Yeah! They are gorgeous!!!!! Love the colours!!!!!
Can never get enough of them! Love the hand feeding video. You all take such good care of everyone. Funny to see all pups around Adele but one. I can notice a change in their size actually. Very beautiful litter. Can't wait to see Roxie's!
Yes, they are growing and are quite adept in finding mom when they want to. Not always great on finding that empty milk bar slot if they have to squeeze in so sometimes we give them help and make sure they are all in different positions as the bottom slots have the most milk.
