We're all doing fine. The puppies seem to be thriving. It's amazing how much they are changing every day. The 5 boys are doing especially well. Our little girls are hanging in there. They have a more difficult time taking food from the bottles. They just don't have the sucking reflex down as well. They seem younger, too. However, they are getting better. We are force feeding them only when absolutely necessary.
It's been fun to see how much they remind us of Lady Bird and Rocky. One little boy really reminds me of Lady Bird. He sleeps completely on his back just like she use to do.
They eat 5 times a day. It's almost like having 7 little newborns in the house. It's an interesting routine, but thankfully we've had lots of help. Our friends, Uncle John and Aunt Robin were over the night these pictures were taken and they helped us feed and bath the puppies. Robin got some great pictures that I wanted share.
All curled up after a feeding:
I think this is one of the little girls. John took some time to baby her and she curled right up on his shoulder. Can you see the Rocky resemblance here???
Drying off the pups after their bath:
Oh my goodness, this little guy is a heartbreaker!
Here is how we are feeding the pups right now. Hopefully the boys will be on some soft puppy foods by the end of this week.
This is a bad picture of me, but I love how happy Sam is here. He's been a real trooper with all these pups. He's not sure why he's not the center of attention all the time anymore, but he's started to warm up to the puppies. :) Can you tell he's learned to smile for the camera???
This picture is from dinner on Saturday night. The boys sat outside and shot the bb gun. It was a TOTAL redneck affair! Sam loved it!
Ok...we'll check back in later this week.
