Click on Photo for Larger ViewI caught the more white gal with her tail wagging and wagging while she was feeding. She also loves to tunnel. These pups are already showing personality and they are so strong. They just squirm all over to mom.

Pups continue to gain. Jeannie is now on antibiotics as she is so full of milk she is heading towards mastitis so we are curbing it. Her bottom nipple started getting hard so we started antibiotics (safe for pups) last night and she is halfway soft again. Think we caught it in time before she had real issues.
She wants steak. She wants the good stuff and she LOVES, LOVES, LOVES the pups.
She was not doing well with Panda and Roxie being in the room. Nothing serious but felt she always had to be on guard. She would surround her body around her pups trying to hide them. It means she is a good mom. Panda also kept jumping high on the couch to try to get past the barriers to look. Can't blame her. She is curious but can't blame Jeannie for worrying about her pups.
Panda's not out of heat for a day or two so they are in Nathan's office now and will be rotated. Then Panda will be going home to Lynda till she shows signs of being due. Until Roxie has her pups (She is indeed pregnant) no one else will be in here. But by then the pups will be older.
Dennis being exhausted said he kept falling asleep but pups gained really well. He was laying next to the whelping box. Just like a baby you hear every sound. Other than taking care of mom's needs these pups find mom (occasional stuck behind her but get vocal if that happens) he really can sleep off and on.
Nathan has a 4 day show starting Thursday of ring stewarding but is trying to get a replacement as it really is too much. So we shall see. I told him he is going to owe me in a big way and he is. :-)
More later...
