Litter #2 - Two Weeks

Today the pups are two weeks old and had their first vet visit. Three puppies have their eyes open already and all are starting to wobble around. Those who can see are especially mobile and curious, checking out their surroundings.

You might recall that after the first round of deworming medicine the first litter of pups were zonked and I was able to snap the precious picture in the blog header. Litter number 2 is a bit more active and this is the best shot I could get of all of them.

Here is the official line up ...

Two Black Females - Lime and Pumpkin

2 Yellow Females - Purple and Pink

2 Black Males - Tan and Blue

2 Yellow Males - Garnet and Black

Litter #2 - Cuddle Pups

The pups are almost a week old and growing fast. Their activities include eating, squeeking, scooting and lots of snuggling and sleeping.

Litter #2 Has Arrived!

At 4:27 pm yesterday, Kora had a little girl and at 9:46 pm she had her last of eight puppies. Five hours of giving birth to a litter of eight was previewed by 15 hours of labor, she started at 1:30 yesterday morning. Poor girl was so exhausted! She did a fantastic job though and we have a precious litter, an even mix of 2 yellow females, 2 yellow males, 2 black females and 2 black males. We are now all trying to catch up on our sleep.
