The pups are now 36 hours plus old. Here are their weights. (B) stands for birth (N) stands for now.
Puppy 1 gal (white shoulder)
(B)5oz 144grams (N)5-3/4oz 163grams
Puppy 2 boy (tan cheeked boy)
(B)5-3/8oz 184grams (N)6-1/2oz 184gram
Puppy 3 boy (cream with tan markings)
(B)6-1/4oz 179grams (N)7-3/8oz 211grams
Puppy 4 gal (blaze on forehead)
(B) 5-1/2oz 156grams (N)6-1/2oz 184grams
As you can see all are gaining nicely. They will and can surpass each other from day to day.
Poor mom had her bottom milk stations getting hard and we have started her on antibiotics to clear it up. This is standard when moms get milk in the bottom ones early. She will have it for a few days and it will subside. It doesn't affect the pups. If they had any infection it would help but in this case they are lively and eating, gaining and doing amazing. Spice also has milk in already so she will also have the issue. When caught early it goes fast. Jeannie's pups are drinking from these spots today so look at who had the biggest weight gains as this is the ones that have the most milk. Last night you couldn't get milk out. Today they are looking for these slots.
Here is a gallery I created this morning.
Here are the videos.
This Morn After Bedding Change
A funny story about this. she covers her pups up when she goes to eat to protect them and keep them warm. She destroys the blankets so when I put them all back she went and got this soft blue blanket that was out on a dog bed, and then proceeded to lay it over them ever so neatly. I wish I had the video of her doing it but I didn't know what she was up to. So you will see the covering up and the after.
Check out how active they are.
Hope you enjoy!

Love these stories and videos. I saw the blue blanket in the dog bed. Amazing that
she went to the hallway and brought it in to cover her babies. She is a great mom.
The videos 'covering up pups' and 'loving up pups' are beyond wonderful. What a totally great Mom she is.....
The amount of laundry you do every day must be incredible. The machines must be running constantly!
This is all soooooo precious! Thank you for the posts Darlah. Xo
Those are precious videos but the one where Jeannie covers the pups is extraordinary! What a great mom she is.
Laundry is crazy... that is true. Hate laundry - well the folding part and remembering to put on another load. Can't it do itself?
Congrats to Jeannie and the Talemaker Family! A beautiful litter of puppies. Will enjoy watching them grow and transition to their forever homes. Lucky families! So happy that all went well and everyone is healthy and so obviously happy! :-)
Yes, Jeannie is a great mom. I am pleased that I have good moms but helps that they get massages, special food, hugs and well we are their slaves and they rather like that. hahahaha
The Havanese know how to finesse us in to being their slaves . . . and we love every moment! It's what makes our day! :-)
I cannot believe the way Jeannie covered her pups. Nothing like a mother to protect and comfort her young. This is really amazing. I saw the blue blanket cover up as well but couldn't find it tonight. Darlah I don't know where you get your strength. You Re the best Mom.
The blue cover is in the wash. Have to find who sells these as they are soft and small enough for her to carry around. If anyone finds them let me know. They almost feel like a velour mini blanket. They used to sell them at Petsmart. Do not worry. Tomorrow she will have her blue blankie again.
