I was truly a zombie yesterday. Lack of sleep is so hard. The good news is Sabrina and pups are doing Fantastic! Still all gaining weight and lots of milk available. Sabrina is an excellent mother. Here's a story on how tired I was... I was letting Sabrina out in the early hours of the morning. I had closed the back door and was leaning on it watching her though the window in the door. All of a sudden I am jolted awake by a pain in my arm. I had nodded off standing there and scraped my arm on the door somehow! Gee that is TIRED! LOL.
I did update the puppy weight chart this morning.
All pups are black except for Pup #3 is a Liver Boy.
Above is a video of the puppies trying to find Sabrina so they could nurse. They had been sleeping and she had been outside the whelping box and then she got in and was getting a drink of water. I found it cool that although their ear canals have not opened yet, nor their eyes, they KNEW she was there somewhere. We are HUNGRY... they are always hungry or sleeping.
How can you tell their spot color before they show up in the fur? Do they already have spots in their mouths that you can see and know the difference?
ReplyDeleteWhen they have some pigment on the nose. That is the only way to be sure at such a young age.
ReplyDeleteah their nose, so interesting!
DeleteThey look like they're crawling very well but not quite "walking" yet! I love those puppy sounds. They sound like they're cooing :)
