While there isn't much new to report, that's sometimes a good thing. Jess and her litter are doing fabulous.
The pups are nursing with determination and seem quite agile for their age. They're beginning to plump up ever so slightly... and Yellow girl already climbed up moms side to rest on her back supported by the pool wall. The others are rapidly gaining strength and some control of their back legs. Not bad since I didn't really expect their arrival until today or maybe even sometime through Saturday! I was surprised by their 1st weights as well. I expected them to be lighter since Jess carried them only to the very low end of a normal gestation period. I guess she knew what she was doing.... I took a few minutes while enjoying my morning coffee to check tails, snap some photos, and cuddle some pups. Our sutures are holding... and while I can't share the snuggles... I will share some of the photos.
