12 Days Old

Here is the gallery.

This crew appears to be so laidback. But if anything like Rebel who is a Spirit gal, they will be playful and fun. I can't wait till the eyes open ans a few days later, you start seeing personality.

They want for nothing. Spirit pups are so smothered in love in a good way.I truly can't wait till I see them in action.

Videos are up. I am trying to finish early as yesterday was non stop till 1130pm. Too late. I will get a couple of videos up for each before bedtime arrives.

11 Days Old

We are short blogging tonight - sorry. Just way too much on my plate today.

Pups are now over 1 pound. With only 2 they get all the milk they want. 

I rarely hear a noise from this crew.

Videos are up and more coming tonight before bed.

Spirit is settling down. She is a doting mom but she is no longer trying to hide them.

They are chunky and doing well. I can't wait till their eyes are open. Anytime now for them but not seeing slits yet.

Videos are up.

9 Days Old

Here is the gallery.

Both Spirit and Willow had a better day. No hiding pups and they seem more relaxed. Actually all moms seem to be relaxed. 

I can't believe that the pups are only 9 days old. They seem older for some reason. Maybe as they are plump and active when they are not sleeping. Rare hear a peep from them. They want for nothing and Momma is delighted with them. 

Videos are already up. 

Response

Spirit is doing better. I may swim today. All pups in all litters gained really well. I felt guilty not rushing to weigh the little one and I won't mention her after this. It seems someone doesn't appreciate it. I got a message from someone on our waiting list saying my video and posts were self serving and I need to stop being personal as people come to see positive messages not what I post and this really capped their pleasure of our site. I read that last night deep in hurt and went wow. I am not sure you want a puppy of ours. We have relationships with people that have our dogs as we love to see them. 

On that note, if I offended you by sharing with you - I am sorry. I tend to put it all out there and this was a hard journey for me. Intellectually I know about life cycles but when you nurture, and are responsible for a being, I do not know how to just feel detached. I love the pups. I love the dogs. I feel guilty no longer being responsible for her and not going from 7am till 11pm at night non stop. 

So last night I didn't need that note - did it make you feel better to attack me? I hope for you it was just a bad day too. We will go back to acting as if she didn't exist, I suppose.
