Puppies are 1 week old!

So the puppies all made it safely to one week old. They are still sleeping a lot but starting to move around a bit more while they are awake. Daisy is such a good mom. She is starting to give them a little more alone time yet keeps a very close eye on them. She has her bed right next to theirs so she can watch them but then gets in their whelping box to feed them when they need it. She is eating a ton and drinking so much to keep all 9 fed.



They have all mostly doubled their weight which is a great sign. I have dewclawed them all and they recovered very quickly. We all love on them and I haven't left them for more then 2 hours without a babysitter. We are all just really excited for the day they open their eyes, and ears so they can see what this world is all about. I am going to start working on a house for them in the mud room with a doggie door to the outside kennel. This will be their next move once they are too big for the whelping box.
