Orange puppy Bravo wasn’t gaining as quickly as the others (and this is relative, you really just want 5-10% per day on average and his daily averages were 7.8%, 11.3%, 13% and then 6.47%, all of which are over 5%, but he had one weigh in that was lower than I wanted as compared to the other chonks), so I got up a few times overnight to make sure he got some uncontested nursing time. It paid off and this morning he was up 14.8%! I’m used to having a couple of teeny tinies but these guys are all pretty uniform in size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alice is asking to go out and play fetch several times a day. She is spending some time out in the living room since yesterday (the living room is right off the puppy room so she can see and hear what’s going on in there all the time). I am in the puppy room with her most of the time though, since she really doesn’t want me away from her for any length of time (this will ease off as the puppies get older). I think it’s a bit too soon for a walk but we’ll see. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the puppycam is up, it’s quite dull at this stage (wait until they’re a couple of weeks older and especially once they move to the big house). Right now its sleep, eat, potty, sleep, eat, potty, lather rinse repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nursing puppies (turn it up! It’s amazing how loud they are):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
