Mother's Role

When someone has pups, it is normal for the mom to protect her babies.

Treasure is highly curious but so is Wasabi and Risa.

They would love to be in checking them out close and personal but that's not allowed till they get older and when Fiona relaxes.

She relaxes when we are showing them but not when they try to get so close that she feels that they may be in harm's way.

Fiona is getting better though. At first she didn't want the pack in the same room. Now she is realizing that behind the x-pen, her beautiful babies are not in harm's way.

All her pups are thriving and I am glad her first time around that she only had 4. Fiona comes from a line that usually has 6 or 7 but this is a manageable size for a first time mom.

They all have tummies. They all continue to grow and Fiona remains attentive.

I know I said it before but she is truly amazing. Our only issue with her is to get her to eat enough but that's been something we have always had to do with her.

More colour is peeking through on the ones that appear black and white. She will not have any that are true black and whites, I am afraid. Most interesting.

Puppies - nothing like them.
