2 Days Old: Photos Added to Gallery Plus New Videos

Hallie is a relaxed mom. Even though she protects her pups as she knows at this age they are vulnerable, she lets me take them on my lap and cuddle them. She seems proud to share them. 

Here is the gallery.

I would never think of grooming at this age but today I have 2 to do - reduced from usual but I can watch them on my ipad and she seems to sleep when I am not fussing over her pups. I had not planned on this so I wasn't reducing my grooming and we still have no pool but Hallie is so great, I know I can take my ipad outside, watch her and swim, if the pool was working. By the 3rd week of June, they will be out regularly on the deck playing. When I am blogging, I have the screen display Hallie and what she is doing. Yes, we watch them closely but really they are doing so well that I had no issue with Dennis napping last night. 

Dennis actually slept part of the night last night and both pups gained. The gal gained less than the boy. The boy actually gained a full ounce in the last 24 hours. He likes to eat. 

Already the pups snuggle into you when holding. Usually they are not sure about the touches from humans at this age but they seem to be trusting souls and so is mom. 

Videos going up shortly. Videos can be problematic. I have a new program. I seem to get feedback at times - which is irritating but I will learn it. I just didn't expect to learn it without any time. I like my old program which is no longer made so when the ipad was updated, it went but I still have it on my phone. It is all an adjustment. You will find the videos here. I am starting to upload them now at 825am. 

This duo is gorgeous! I suspect they will be like Hallie - happy happy pups.
