The puppies are 9 days old today and I am really happy with the way they are gaining. Our little peanut, #1 weighed in at a whopping 10 7/8 oz. this morning, up 2 1/2 oz. in the last 2 days. He hangs on to Silvi like a little tick now, and even his bruiser brother and sisters can't knock him off! #2, the 'big mama' is up to 1 lb. 6 1/8 oz. I think she needs to go on a diet! #3, our bi blue girl, is 1 lb. 3 3/4 oz. and #4, our really cute boy is 1 lb 2 3/4 oz. And the cute blue girl just made it to 1 lb. today. I took a picture of them with my cell phone this morning, but it was too dark, so I'm not bothering to post it. The only one who has changed much is the little guy. He doesn't look as dwarfed by his siblings as he once did!
Meanwhile, Silvi is being SUCH a great Mom. She really loves her babies and wants to be with them all the time. I'm not sure how long that is going to last though, with her puppies growing as fast as they are. It must feel like 5 punches in the stomach whenever they nurse! She is a good sport though.
