Rounding Up

The pups are doing really well. They continue to gain. They are starting to get somewhat rounded tummies. They appear to be strong. Just check out this video called stand to eat.

Roxie's discharge has slowed down so that means less cleanup of blankets, bottoms and all that fun stuff. No mastitis so far. Although she has had an upset tummy today, its nothing serious.

Here are some videos taken. I have to admit I hate not having a camera on the front door but the pup videos are worth it. I couldn't do these videos otherwise like this. More than halfway saved up for Panda's camera. :-)

Nathan is now out to buy the moms steak- yeah they eat VERY VERY well. :-) Moms need the extras. They eat approx 6 to 8 times a day. Jeannie and Roxie are eating about the same. She has half the pups but they are much larger and older.

It's amazing how Roxie knows how to Mother. No one has to tell her. I know she receives help from you, but still, she knows what to do. So precious to see the connection. Luv her!

I do believe I am lucky as it comes natural. They rely on us to fulfill their needs - cleaning them up, feeding them extra well - getting some head space - a very quick romp outside but they are there day in and day out loving them. I couldn't do it any other way. They are wonderful moms.

So nice that you are there to back up Roxie. She appears to be quite a 'natural mom'.

Well done Miss Roxie. You are a wonderful mom and you have wonderful puppies! Can't wait to see them.
