Not Yet a Full Day Old

The pups either held their own or had a slight loss. This is normal in the 1st 48 hours. They are lively. They find mom and are doing well. They LOVE being held. Leti is extra attentive. Perhaps as Cinnamon keeps wanting her pups. This will calm down.

Before Leti had pups, while she was in labour, she went into Cinnamon's pups to try to get them to feed. Now Cinnamon is trying to same.

The videos can be found here. I finally got them up including the delivery of one without realizing. It was that fast. Leti was already cleaning the pup up.

The pups are now starting to gain. Moms milk is in and she is eating. She had an upset tummy - gassiness, loose stools so zantac to the rescue. She's had bacon, steak, cheese, mousse. Previous I had a tough time seeing any milk production. Though pups were not fussy, they were getting enough just not enough to gain. Moms need to eat well to produce milk. Gain, they are within or before 24 hours.

They find their way to mom 99% of the time. leti is attentive. She stares at them and kisses them all over and smiles at me. No lie. It is the cutest!

Here is today's gallery.

Leti This Morning - Nesting Video

Temps have not risen all the way. I was up all night. I put a turkey in the oven after preparing. I hope to survive the day. Nathan also said he was up all night. I was in a separate room with Leti and some of the dogs. I got zero sleep. She nests off and on. We shall see how this progresses. This sometimes happens.

Now she is nesting on the couch and dug a hole in the pillow. oh my -
