Day One...

Momma Figgy and puppies one day old.

Just now getting caught up on blog... my apologies. I intend to make a post or update each day if I can. I am fighting off a head cold, flu and bad
cough... cough is better, but head feels worse today. I did get some sleep last night so hopefully will be getting over this soon. No time to be sick and it has been going on... and on... 

This post is for Day One, which was yesterday...
Pups are gaining weight, nursing readily. I am afraid at this rate they will be the three little pigs... Figgy's temperature was 102.1 the evening after whelping and was 101.4 on day one. That is good! That is in normal range for a dog.

Puppy Weights day 1...
1) Black Patch Boy 13 7/8 oz
2) Boy 13 1/4 oz
3) Liver Boy 13 1/8 oz

More color coming in on #2 boys nose... may be a liver after all... will check again today when weighing them. I try not to take them too far away from mom or mess with them too much while momma is getting settled in with her new babies. You don't want momma to be stressed at all or may stop the milk coming in.
