They are a week old!

Yes, their eyes and ears are still closed at this time. The days are spent sleeping, nursing and 'squeaking' every now and again. :+) Clara Belle keeps them filled with warm milk and does an excellent job of keeping them clean. I hold them several times a day to weigh them and cuddle a bit but don't overdo it at this time. What they need for the first two weeks is Mother's warm milk and gentle tongue and not much interference from me. They are gaining nicely.

This is Purple Girl (1.44 lbs.) I hope to have a guardian family for this girl if all goes well. She has the silkiest coat of the threesome.


Red Boy was the biggest born and continues to dominate the weight scale at 1.88 lbs. This pic does not show that he does have white toes still and a bit of white on his head. He has the lightest coloring.


Sporting his Elvis Presley curls at birth, Green Boy weighs 1.32 lbs. Since he is darker in color than his siblings, his white shows a bit more. I just love those white markings!!

  1. It's so nice to see pups on the Annablog again. You and your leading ladies produce exceptional doodles. We cannot walk Stella anywhere without people stopping to ask what kind of a dog she is and say how cute she is. And we have to agree! Enjoy the little ones!~ Diane

  2. Greetings to you both and Miss Stella! Thanks for the nice compliment as well. :+)

    At the end of the month, Olive will add her litter to the household as well, so I will be 'hopping'!

    The new pups are such blimps with all that milk they are getting. I hope they will be able to stand as they look like little 'beer barrels'!
