Lily’s Pups Are 2 Weeks Old!

It’s hard to believe two weeks have gone by since Lily surprised us with delivering her puppies five days early!  They are all growing by leaps and bounds and beginning to move around quite a bit. Their eyes should open in the next few days and their ears typically open about the same time.

Here are photos I took a few minutes ago.

This is miss Pinky. Pinky because that is the color of the collar she is wearing so I can tell her apart from the other white girls. Pinky was born third in the litter and weighed 156 grams. Yesterday she weighed 15.5 ounces (or, 439 grams!)
This is Red. Born last, but not least, she is actually a pale cream color. Her birth weight was 171 grams which made her the largest pup. She is now 14 ounces
This is Sable. She was born second and I didn’t put a collar on her because she’s the only pup with color. She weighed 136 grams at birth and is now 13.7 ounces.

This is Tan. (I’m really going to have to do something about these names/labels!) Anyway, born fifth, he weighed 169 grams. He now weighs 14.9 ounces which makes him currently the winner in the weight category.

This is Tiny. She was born first and is the smallest of the bunch. Weighing in at a whopping 99 grams at birth she has probably gained the most, percentage wise. She is now 10.2 ounces.

This is Purple. He is a pale caramel color…gold really. He was born fourth at 150 grams and now weighs 12.5 ounces.

I have to warn you all now that my computer is going haywire. It took me almost 2 hours to write this post because it keeps deleting text and photos. I have an appointment with the Apple Store next Tuesday. It was the earliest I could get! I may not post again before them. So sorry!!

Puppies Galore!

So busy…so much fun!!!

Love this!

Lily’s pups.  Left to right, Sable Parti girl, the tiny girl and the tawny boy.

These three are so close in color I have their tails painted with a dab of nail polish.   So, we have from left to right, maroon tail girl, pink tail girl and taupe tail boy!                                                           

I love how all the puppies are getting so chubby!

The Local Puppy Report

All our puppies are growing by leaps and bounds.

We’re not too busy yet….comparatively speaking (LOL) as mom does the yeomen’s share of the work.
So I just get to sit and admire…and play with the older puppies, two of whom leave me today so I will just have little Gumbo left to home. He is a dear and a great playmate for Maggie so we are not in any hurry! We’ll wait til we find the absolutely perfect home.
