First, puppies:<\/p>\n

\"Day<\/a>

Day 11<\/p><\/div>\n

They are getting so big now that they are starting to really get in each others’ way when they are nursing.\u00c2\u00a0 I am close to thinking of getting them to nurse in shifts, but I don’t think that’s necessary just yet.\u00c2\u00a0 Their eyes will start opening any day now.\u00c2\u00a0 And they will be due for their first deworming this Friday (2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks is the plan).<\/p>\n

\"Day<\/a>

Day 11 Nursing<\/p><\/div>\n

Second: numbers.\u00c2\u00a0 So yesterday, I had to go to work early, which meant I did all my usual morning puppy care (changing bedding, weighing, SuperDog, cuddles, etc.) very early (I’m talking like 5:30 AM).\u00c2\u00a0 Usually by the time I get this stuff done Nina has been up for a while, had her breakfast, and has fed the puppies at least once or twice.\u00c2\u00a0 So littlest girl only gained a small amount as of yesterday morning, and that worried me all day, even though I KNEW it was likely just an artifact of her not having eaten as much as usual by weighing-in time.\u00c2\u00a0 I am a worrier.\u00c2\u00a0 Today she is at her usual decent gaining rate and weighs 561 grams.<\/p>\n

Third: more numbers.\u00c2\u00a0 Third-born Immelmann is over 700 grams today (707 to be exact).\u00c2\u00a0 Another of yesterday’s slow gainers, Lefty (white throat boy – called Lefty because his right front toes are white…no, I don’t really understand it either) is today’s second-biggest, gaining over 13% since yesterday and weighing in at 696 grams today.\u00c2\u00a0 Everybody else except Wee is well over 600 grams, with Jack and Triangle weighing exactly the same 680 grams.<\/p>\n

Fourth: VallhundPox<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 It is spreading.\u00c2\u00a0 And they do it on-camera.\u00c2\u00a0 Which makes it look like I’m running an entirely different sort of webcam.<\/p>\n

Fifth: Kate<\/a>, awesome Kate<\/a>!\u00c2\u00a0 She sent pictures of the whelping box she is building, and it is GORGEOUS!\u00c2\u00a0 She is calling it the “whelping box of doom”, which is a pretty good name.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe it needs an umlaut or something, or perhaps some exclamation points, but it’s good nonetheless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
