Charlotte's pups are a week old TODAY!

They are such chubs - all of them are at least one pound and gaining daily. Charlotte is eating three large meals a day with relish and is obviously doing a fabulous job of nourishing her six babies.

They are not doing much at all except eating, sleeping and toileting but that is good news - all is normal!  I would expect by the second week of life, some may be opening their eyes just a wee bit. We will have to wait and see.

As you peruse the pics below, you may see some nose color beginning to form. The black/white parti pups already have their black pigment showing but not so much the other colors. I know the Teal Boy will have liver pigment and the two apricot/white parti pups are just beginning to edge in some color. I am pretty sure they will be 'caramels' and the pigment will be liver. They will also have greenish eye color as that is common for this color type.  In another week, I should know.   :+)

Enjoy the one week old pics!
