One Week Old

Little Puppy Faces

The puppies are now one week old. Both mom and babies are doing great. OG again had 14 puppies, but it is with a heavy heart that I have to say we lost one on Monday to pneumonia. This was the hardest thing that has happened since I have started this wonderful journey and I will always think about little Gerald! We have 6 girls and 7 boys, as you can see they are all a beautiful brown, some have some white markings but most of these will become small once they have grown up. This is the most quite litter I have ever had, they only get loud when they want something, and then quite up very quickly, this has helped somewhat in getting a little more sleep, but I am up about every 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Don't think I could have another child at this age :) The whole family is pitching in, Cavan has been off of school and does puppy watch during the day and Athena is by my side at every weigh in. Chuck and Ryan help as much as they can, Chuck takes the early evening check in shift so that I can get some sleep before night time :) We are so blessed with all these beautiful babies!!!!
