Meet the Boys

Click on Photo for Larger ViewWhat a deliriously happy mom - don't you think?

They won't be 24 hours old till 2pm when we will take another weight. For now at 715am they all gained 5/8 of an ounce each. Usually they lose in the 1st 24 hours as their bodies adjust, mom's milk comes in. But Leti's milk was already in and she has 3 pups for all those milk stations. They have a feast before them.

I will now put up a photo of each boy and you can also check out the gallery. It is hard to get photos of them as she has no toleration for such silliness. Her job is to envelope them with love and protect them.

Click on Photo for Larger ViewMeet Puppy 2. He looks like a stunning irish pied but is also a tri. He has colour bleeding through his face.

Click on Photo for Larger ViewMeet puppy 3. He is also a tri as he has more than 2 colours. Is he chocolate? Is he simply a brown sable? We will know as he gets older and we see his pigment and eye colour come in. 

They are all very strong and mom moves and they stay latched on. I kept checking on her with the video and so did Nathan. It's a sickness, I tell you. You need to sleep but then you can't help yourself. I went to bed at 9pm and fell fast asleep then Nathan let the dogs in and I was awake again. 

Here are some videos I took. Special note is simply placing the food in the xpen for Leti got her to eat a bit but not much. Nathan hand feeding the princess got her eating all. 

Leti is learning to negotiate around her pups. She is attentive, loving and so adoring the boys.

They are stunning boys. Leti looks so happy and content....she deserves to be hand fed by Nathan. So happy that all went well. Another beautiful Talemaker litter!

Oh wow, they are beautiful. And, Leti, you do look happy and you should. You have a lovely family. Take care of them, little girl.

What a happy Momma - you can almost hear her say "Look what I did !!" Glad to see her eating. Such devotion not even leaving her pups to eat !

The Three Amigos!!! They are gorgeous and have personalities plus.I can feel Leti's adoration and immensely love for them.They are little Capricorns ,you know?

Already a truly handsome bunch of boys - I can imagine how the colouring and markings are going to develop even more beautifully over the next little while. Do you think the tri black will end up with a lot of brown bleeding through, similar to Clarity - people always comment on her beautiful and unusual colouring :)
The pictures of Leti with her pups are really touching - she looks so incredibly proud and happy - as she should. Maureen expressed it so perfectly!

Time will tell... re: colour. Will be interesting to see what Panda has too.

January 7, 2016 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Most definitely! Having seen the huge variety of colours and markings, it's like opening a surprise bag ... You never know what's going to pop out!

It was so nice to see Leti eating from Nathan. I believe it is all about trust. The pups are so beautiful and the colouring is amazing. I again Darlah you are my idol. I don't know how you do so much every day. Love watching the videos.

Sweet little Leti has 3 beautiful boys. Her motherly instincts are very well developed.
It looks like you have another great Mom.

January 7, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterKathy & Kona

I also enjoy all the videos. Keep them coming Darlah!
