11 and a Half Days Old: Yoga Moves Added

Click on Photo for Larger ViewClick on Photo for Larger View

Be sure to check out yesterday's photos as it includes a gallery of the nails getting clipped. Pups are being stubborn about opening their eyes. I was on night duty and will be for at least a few days. I am getting sniffles. So, you will see some videos with my old lady jammies as that is all I can wear downstairs with a house of men.

How is it on night duty? They eat every 2 hours but on occasion they won't stop fussing they get fed 90 minutes. I had alarm clocks set. Jeannie slept on the couch with me as she would feed them nonstop and that doesn't work? Why? The aggressive ones leave nothing for the non assertive one. In this case the mostly white is non assertive. Is this an indicator of her personality - being laid back? It's too early to tell. We shall see how it unfolds. She now has her pigment in but due to the white face it looks funny till we have some growth. She is a beauty though. She's going to be striking. No unattractive pups here.

Here are a few videos.

I Want Food, Mom

Momma is so busy cleaning and as you can see she wants to eat but she is really laid back about it.

Puppy Noises

This is how they sound. I don't always have sound on as I have a tv going, people talking and more. I don't want to yell - be quiet - say nothing - I am doing a video. heh I don't like staging things.

The Boy Crying

The boy was fussing as he wants to eat and eat. He thinks he should eat an hour after feeding and leave nothing for the rest. He is the biggest and most assertive eater so far.

Jammies, Ipad and Pups

This is me in my jammies, clicking my ipad so you can see a video. Its how I do it.

Cleaning Bedding

Each morning even if it doesn't appear that it needs it, I change all the bedding. That includes the padding underneath. I truly believe that if a puppy gets used to clean right from the start they will appreciate clean. That means sometimes we are changing more often. Usually this happens as they get older and indeed after they start eating food. They should be eating food about the time Roxie's pups come or soon after.

More Clean Bedding

Just the Pups

Come this afternoon I will take some naps so I can deal with the night time. Now off as pups need to be fed.

Here's a couple of pups practicing yoga. heh

Can't get enough of those pups....and the videos. We are indeed spoiled Darlah! They are growing nicely. Lovely to watch them with mommy Jeannie.

Darlah, thanks so much for taking the pictures and videos of the pups and Jeannie. The first thing I do when I get home from work is to check on the little ones. I know it's extra work for you in your already busy schedule so I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate it.

Thank you, Karen. With everything I got going on it is but I would want to see them daily. :-) It may be interesting when I am updating Roxie and Jeannie's pups at the same time. But we will get it done.
