4 Days Old
Everyone is gaining. One is gaining like crazy. He likes to push the little one out of the way to get all the milk stations. I make sure she gets a slot or two.
On day 7 to 10 the pups are supposed to double their birth weight. Today it is day 4 and the littlest will have reached double her weight at tonight's weigh in. Tomorrow the first born boy who is the most zealous in his feeding will reach double his weight. In a couple of days the last - 3rd born will reach double her weight.
Be sure to check out the videos.
It means that although the littlest remains the littlest and may all her life - we shall see - she is ahead of schedule on her weight. Bravo little one. Despite your brother, you are still gaining. LOL
Pups are doing well. They like to be in a soft cocoon. Sage's does too. Never saw pups this early on having a deep appreciation for soft.

There's 1 in every bunch, pushy and all, what can you say😕
Just curious, how is Spirit's singleton Rebel handling the newborns? Missing Spirit, or maybe she has enough distraction with all the other puppies.
It's interesting that you ask. Each time Spirit goes out and comes through the kitchen, Rebel runs for her mom. Spirit cleans her and cuddles momentarily with her every single time she has to go out. Rebel is distracted but neither forgets each other. The are truly bonded.
