Going on 2nd Day
Everyone gained nicely including the pup with Sage.
The pups are lively and Cinnamon is irritated by Spirit and Sage trying to gain access to her pups. They are too new for that and both are 1st time moms. All moms are great. Cinnamon is just experienced and they are learning and doing amazing. I am pleased that I have 3 great moms. You can usually tell their maternal insticts before they are bred. Both 1st timers were great with the pups before they had their own.
Now back to Cinnamon pups:
First born is a sable gal who has red overtones
Her weight is 8-6/8oz 248g
Second born is a boy and he is a brindle - See him on his back
He weighs 10oz
Third born boy with Sage is a brown sable and white
He weighs 5oz. He has gained an ounce since birth - bravo!
He is short in body and will remain smaller than siblings
Fourth born girl sable with a shorter blaze on chest
She weighs 9-4/8oz
Fifth born girl sable with a longer blaze on chest
She weighs 8-2/8oz 234g
Sixth born girl black and white
She weighs 5-7/8oz
Seventh born brindle gal
She weighs 5-4/8 oz 156g
She is short in body and will remain smaller than siblings
In a few days we will do individual photos again so you can see the changes since birth.
Mr. brindle boy is way comfie in his environment as you can see in the photo above.
I will add videos as I go. Some are up now.

They are so adorable !
Bravo sweet little boy :-)
congrats on so many beautiful pups! Really enjoying the pics and videos of all the litters!
Oh my goodness they are beautiful. So little and sweet.
That is quite a variation in weights. You dont really notice a size difference, at keast in the pics. Glad they are all doing so well.
Maureen: The more pups you have, the more variation you have with size as they are crowded in utero. The less pups, the more consistency you will see. Some are meant to be small and some will play catch-up. Two are short in body length so they are meant to be small. The rest, as they develop, you will be able to tell by paying attention to features and bone density what their size will be. All pups are mighty lively - Sage's too for such a young age. They are doing well. I would be doing night shift if I was worried. Dennis could have done night one but it worked out. I always take the weight on me if there is any concern. As I didn't have enough time to assess as delivery occurred past bedtime, it was me. At around 1 I realized I could have had Dennis take over for me but I had those first moments. I really like being there for 1st moments. Silly maybe but they are special memories to me.
