"OK, well then, this litter is a week old
today!" Here's a little update.
MamaSpice whelped all 6 puppies easily in just over 2.5 hours EARLY Tuesday
morning, 3/29. Her appetite is hardy, attitude is glowing, and her desire to
exercise very good. She is already taking short breaks from her brood for
exercise, food (lots) and fresh air.
The pups have all shown consistent weight gain proportionately per birth
weight. The birth order was PinkGirl 1st, GreenGirl 2nd, BlueBoy 3rd, RedGirl
4th, PurpleGirl 5th and HotPinkGirl 6th. BlueBoy no longer wears
his ribbon preferring not to mess with his "showcoat":)
He is easily recognized by the darker base color and stunning black mask.
Bonny and I have joked a bit about starting a Terv modeling agency:) 'cuz the
Girls are soooooo beautiful!
It's been a remarkable, fulfilling week for us all. The pups are robust, the
dam's in good health, and we can hardly wait to watch their young eyes open.
A heartfelt thank you to Jennifer Stanley of the Flat Coat Retriever Kennel,
Fowlplay, for her help on whelping morning, and for the excellent reading
material and her after birth concerns and mentorship of Greg and Bonny. Thanks
Jenn!
Hey - week two is here!
