Day 10 Update - New pictures

My el-cheapo Olympus D-520 camera finally died. It was an adequate camera, and quite frankly I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did.

The puppies are growing like crazy. They are gaining as much as 2 ozs. a day. None have their eyes open yet, but they all are trying. Here's some new pictures taken about a half hour ago with a borrowed digital camera. The pups are lined up in birth order.


The first one is called Jack. He's at 2 lbs 4 oz. The second goes by the name of Nightshade, and she weighed in today at 1 lb 10 oz. And last but not least is Tanner, and his weight today is 2 lbs. 3 oz.

We continue to encourage Mindy and Schuyler to become friendly again. Maybe in a day or two we'll try to have them in the same room without leashes.

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.
