No Mom Last Night

Yes, last night we went upstairs and slept without momma.
How did they do? Quite well.
Leti kept checking on them at the door. It was harder on her than them I think but I put the sound on the ipad and the camera on and she actually would wake up to come listen or look at the ipad. It was interesting. This was a first. The way she stared at it I wondered if she was just listening for the sounds or she was watching. They didn't cry. They just cried when thy heard us getting up as if to say, hey don't forget about us. This soon will be a routine and the human here will sleep more and just have the ipad on so each time I wake up I watch. That happens too much as I am so tired during the day but oh well.
They loved the bed and snuggled in for a long night then woke up and played then slept then woke up. Most of their output was on the pad so bravo!
When Leti came downstairs she was THRILLED to see them. She fed them immediately of course. It's an interesting leap they have to take. She was so delighted to be back in bed snuggling with me but also tuned into the idea that she is a mom and her pups count on her. Check out the gallery.
Now check out the videos:
They will eventually sleep through the night. That is why we do this process to get them conditioned.
Dennis washes and sterilizes the pen. When they go upstairs at night, it is easier than taking them all out, washing and waiting for it to dry with a little help of drying with a towel.

Congratulation,little boys,it is great achievement!Hehehe,more pups with glowing eyes,beautiful.
I am so impressed with Leti. It is amazing how intuitive she is. The pups are all adorable and frisky.
I am impressed for a 1st time mom too. I love her pups, her mothering.
Big milestone for Leti and the boys and they seemed to handle it well. I am intrigued that Leti checks the iPad - I would love to know what she hears and sees. I can see how thin Leti is - she is such a good Mom that she is giving all of her energy to her pups but I hope she weans them soon and takes care of herself.
Her hair is a mess, dry too as nutrients are pulled for pups. She is too skinny for my taste but hair grows and weight gains are possible. Too possible for some of us. hahahaha She is feeding them less so I think she will soon be feeding them before bed and mornings. It's time. They have their 6 week visit Thursday night.
