24 Hour Fiona Pups and Wasabi's Pups

Here's a picture of the pups 24 hours old.

The white looking one is not white at all - but cream and apricot like mom. One black looking has brown/rust patches here and there and another black you can see brown overtones in the colour so they will be surprises colour wise as they progress.

I can't believe all girls. usually this is a boys house but Fiona always manages to do it up different.

Pups are lively - maintaining or gaining. One lost an ounce but gained it back - which is usual waiting for the milk to come in.

Fiona seems to have milk in her lower nipples but not sure about the tops. They are either sucking her dry or it's just starting to come in but not like gangbusters - a slow process of filling up - different than Wasabi who had so much she was dripping.

Pups are not crying and are sleeping in between feeding. That means they are getting nourishment. Nathan worries always. I try to be the steady hand at all this so we balance each other out.

Fiona is an amazing mom. I wasn't sure with her as she wasn't all that maternal with Wasabi's but she is now. She still looks at them in awe. It's amazing to watch.

Fiona is my 9 lbs if she is lucky gal. She's a tiny thing who already has her championship and loves to scat in the ring. It's a riot.

I am proud of her.

Missy - a Wasabi pup was swimming yesterday. We already had the pups swimming so this was great. At least at this stage there isn't too much brushing.

One of the pups loves to traipse with the kids - Chewy - another is bonding with Fidel - another we haven't heard from except initially from the Kitchener area - another is on a trip to California come Saturday - how lucky of her. I want to climb into that travelling bag - well maybe not. I would miss the pups. But still...
