Day 2 WrapUp

Mindy's been restless some today. I think the confinement may be getting old. We've let her out three times today but she can't wait to get back to the pups. She'll settle in again with the babies but will soon get restless all over again. She stays calm when we're down there and will whine and bark when we leave, but that lasts for less than a minute.

I'm shutting the video feed down about an hour earlier tonight so she can have some peace in the dark. We'll resume the feed tomorrow morning. In the meantime, be sure to check out the pictures in the previous post. They were around 36 hours old when I took them.

Mindy is doing an excellent job of motherhood in spite her restlessness.

Pictures and Statistics

As promised, here are some pictures of the babies that were taken today about 12:30pm when they were right at the 36-hour-old mark. They are lined up left-to-right in birth order.

The first one (a male) is a classic lemon color and was born on Dec. 4 at 11:54pm, weighing 13 oz. The black one (a female) was born 25 minutes later on Dec. 5 at 12:19am at 12 oz. The tan pup (another male) was born 21 minutes later at 12:40am weighing 14 oz.

Notice how pink their nose and mouth areas are. That's a sure sign of a puppy's good health.

Day 2 Morning Update

Mindy & the pups are doing great. All of the babies are very active. When I tried to line them up on the couch for a picture, none of them would hold still. They were squirming around looking for the milk bar. Mindy has been out for her morning constitutional but was very eager to get back to her babies.

We're keeping Schuyler upstairs for the time being. Mindy gets very aggressive when he comes downstairs where the babies are.
