Jeannie Cleaning

Jeannie's milk ducts are all nice and soft and supple. Sounds crazy but I celebrate as that hardness means being uncomfie. She never complained one iota though.

They are 7 full days tonight. Wow. Everyone is gaining, eating, squirming and they have slits on their eyes but I have tested them. They can't hear yet. Hearing and eyes open at the same time. They all of a sudden react to sounds when their eyes open. Right now their only senses are smell and touch. They find mom with smell and find the milk bar with smell and touch.

Great pictures. The pups look vibrant. Jeannie looks like she is enjoying her roll as a mom.

It is amazing to me how naturally Jeannie knows how to look after her pups.

Yes, Jeannie is an amazing mom. She even let me swim and didn't complain a bit about staying with the pups by herself. We kept checking in on her and had the camera on her but still she didn't realize I was able to watch. She seems to be mighty content unless someone comes through the front door. :-0

One week old already, hard to believe. They are doing so well and getting so big already. Jeannie is amazing for a first time mom. For some reasons, I am not able to watch the videos. Will try again. Was able to watch the others from a few days ago. It must be at my end.

I changed them to .avi files as someone else couldn't watch the .mov files. You can watch them with the free quicktime. Mac quicktime is http://www.apple.com/ca/quicktime/download/ and Windows Quicktime is http://support.apple.com/kb/DL837 - think I will go back to the .mov files as they are much smaller.
