1 Week Old

How did 1 week go by so fast?

Rule of thumb the pups at 1 week are supposed to double their birth weight but this crew is just under that. I am not worried. It is only a guideline and they are just under. Pups are vigorous, eating amd sleeping VERY well. They are amazing how they move from here to there. That too would mean they are expelling more energy than usual. 

Here is the gallery.

I gave Saffron antibiotics for 2 days only to see if I could clear up her hard milk station. It did and before it was completely soft, I stopped the antibiotics as she was not eating well enough, imho. Antibiotics upset the tummy. Well, she is back eating very well but wants us to hand feed her and her human Daddy does just that. Yes, we only do this when they have babies.

She has had steak, ground veal and likes her kibble small. hahahahaha Her fave cheese is baby bell. 

Oh. I love you Saffron. Her bowels are good. Her puppies bowels are good. They still sleep really well after feeding. I am amazed. It means they have enough milk in their tummy to sleep soundly. Good one, Saffron.

As Saffron is a small gal this is the best pups she could ever have. She can sleep between. Her body is not getting taxed. She is happy. It's the first litter I have been totally relaxed about. Usually I am making sure everyone is on. I am not able to go outside and if I do I have a tablet with me at all times. Instead, she feeds, we go out and we sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. It's wonderful for both of us. 

Here are the videos:

Wonderful videos. So happy to hear that Saffron and her pups are doing so well. I can't believe they are one week old though. I remember waking up last week to this surprise :-)
