2 Week Pupdate
Moms and puppies are doing great, and we officially have peepers! Little eyes are starting to open, and while they can't walk yet, they are practicing getting their feet under them and a couple can comfortably lift up to a sit. Their ears are starting to open as well, which means that they are reacting to some sounds. Most of the day is still spent napping and eating, but they have started to mouth and lick one another as they "discover" their siblings. Pups will start having excursions from our bedroom to the living room or kitchen each day to immerse in the main sounds and smells of a typical household. Right now they spend time listening to "Baby Mozart" and a couple times each day we try to make some sudden loud "scary" noise (like dropping a heavy book next to their whelping box). Pups startle at the sound and vibration for a moment, but quickly fall back to sleep. Doing this now may help prevent noise sensitivity later in life!
We included a couple blooper photos at the end of this week's gallery. I want to note that Mr. Red is yawning, not crying! Silly puppies!

1 Week Pupdate
The Girls: Ms. Yellow, Ms. Purple, Ms. Lime, and Ms. Pink
The Boys: Mr. Black, Mr. Red, Mr. Green, Mr. Orange, and Mr. Blue
Both litters are thriving and gaining weight rapidly (especially Annie's litter- they are already chunky like their mother). They spend most of their days sleeping and nursing. We have been doing ENS (early neurological stimulation) daily and pups had their first nail trim yesterday. We look forward to eyes beginning to open in a week or so. At this time all puppies appear very similar in size and structure. Some puppies have white markings on their chest, face, and paws. All puppies are shades of red to apricot. If you have a preferred color tone (lighter or darker) don't get too fixated on particular puppies yet. Darker colored puppies could lighten, while lighter puppies could darken. Time will tell!

Annie's Fabulous 5... 4 Gorgeous Girls and 1 Handsome Boy (pictured last)
6-17/6-18: Millie's Puppies are here!
Millie followed Annie's lead, she delivered here pups 3 days after Annie to the dot... she also split her litter between days with the last pup (the one with the big white spot on his forehead) being born after midnight. Mommy and pups are healthy and doing well. This is Millie's first litter and she is a natural. She is now sleeping hard with her newborns.
6-14/6-15: Annie's Father's Day Surprise!
Happy Father’s Day to all you future puppy parents! Annie decided to give you FIVE little presents during the night (4 girls born late on Saturday June 14th, and 1 boy during the wee hours of the morning today on Sunday June 15th)! All babies appear healthy and similar in size, nursing well. Delivery was uneventful and Annie is a wonderful mother. This is her 2nd Litter. Annie is most comfortable close to us, so she is in our living room corner, snoozing and watching the US Open with my husband. Mom and pups need to bond and rest now, so I am not going to disturb them for staged photos just yet… but I have attached a sneak-peek! I will take official litter photos tomorrow.
06-12: Officially On "Baby Watch" For Annie
We are officially on “baby watch” for Annie, whose earliest possible delivery day is tomorrow, Friday the 13th (yikes). Anytime within the next week is possible. Annie is really starting to waddle and needs help on and off the couch. I suspect puppies will be here by Monday. Millie is still able to move around comfortably, she will likely deliver around the end of next week. The girls are spending most of the day snoozing on the couch and enjoying several small meals a day, this morning they got scrambled eggs and chicken on top of their kibble. Dogs usually lose their appetite 24 hours or so before puppies arrive, so I think we are in the clear for today. Pictured below, Millie is in the middle and Annie is on the right. Ginger on the left is Annie’s mother (now happily retired). The girls are shaggy and will be getting their short maternity haircuts soon.
