Three Updates: Weights Added

Pups are now all almost 8 hours old and every single one has gained. Adele has eaten 3 huge bowls of mousse, ice cream - vanilla, baby bell cheese. She is eating well. Last night at 930pm she ate and I went oh oh as you can have them confused with pushing and have output you don't want. But when she started in on hard labor she threw up all over my comforter and I wasn't fast enough so we are washing that. Glad she got it out of her. Better that way than the other during delivery.

Here is another gallery. I am also uploading a video and you will hear one of the pups purring and you may be able to hear them eating. My dryer was going on in the background. There is always so much laundry after birth. I also ended up washing Adele's back end twice - after #4 and after #5. 

Videos can be found here along with Safi videos. No way to create a new folder on Youtube. Sorry.

Beautiful pups and Adele does look so happy. Well done Miss Adele and the entire talemaker crew! xo

Yes, they are eating well. usually they lose the first 24 hours but they are steady and gaining. They are also pretty active. They eat, they sleep.

I am so happy they are gaining, means healthy. Yay Adele, you are such a great Mom.

October 27, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterAngela, Patches, and Radar

Usually they lose the 1st 24 hours waiting for mom's milk to come in. Mom's milk was already there and they are great feeders despite that the milk stations are so large.

October 27, 2017 | Registered CommenterDarlah

They are adorable. Big congrats! Love the big bellies. So cute!
