Nothing big to report (no news is often good news, when rearing puppies!) - all pups continue to gain weight each day.
They are all nearing 500 grams, and well within (most slightly bigger than) our 'normal standards'. We've got a huge spread sheet where we have tracked every puppy we've had (beginning with the Quantum Litter back in 2010) on their daily weight gain and how they're doing in comparison to other litters.
Just some interesting stats:
Average weight at birth: 310 grams. This litter's average was 325g.
Highest birthweight: 400 grams (Max Zorin). This litter's heavy weight at birth was Foxxy Cleopatra at 350g.
Lowest birthweight: 217 grams (Brie de Meaux). This litter's light weight at birth was MK Ultra at 276g.
And...on to some new pics!
Heating Pad Snuggle Bunch:
A bit of QT's rear, Theo's foot, Dreyfus, Foxxy, and Agent 99
One of Jen's favorite thing about puppies is their little PINK toes!!!! Agent 99 is showing off her pink toes AND her pink nose in this shot.
Foxxy Cleopatra says, "Oooo mom, you make a great pillow!"
(MK Ultra in the back)
Agent 99 has found a slightly less comfy pillow - Theo's bony front legs!
Ever-changing colors on the reds & brindles!
Scarlet, Dreyfus, Mata Hari, and QT
Dreyfus - sleeping w/ his mouth open!
Agent 99 snuggled up to the bolster we made for Theo.
Theo loves to sleep on her back (just like so many of our whippets who have Bella as their mom or grandma)...we can tell she's starting to be totally comfortable with the pups, and now even with the camera.
Foxxy Cleopatra - snoozin'.
Scarlett Pimpernel & a bit of MK Ultra - also snoozin'.
At the milkbar: Agent 99, Dreyfus, and a bit of Mata Hari (underneath)
