In The Light Of A New Day....

All pups are doing great.  It seems they are sleeping a great deal as pups do but I made sure each had a good appetite by separating them into two groups in order to observe the sucking activity and abilities of each. I had intended to weight them this evening but when I turned on the scale it wasn't cooperating. I thought maybe I had inadvertently left it on killing the batteries but unfortunately it wouldn't work plugged in either. I see a new scale in the not too distant future but for now I'll have to rely on the old tried and true method of observation and feel to assure each pup is gaining as it should. They are scheduled for dewclaws and docking in the morning and I'll have the vet weigh each of them while we're there to get a baseline. I 
managed to get a few of them weighed yesterday while the scale was working.  I decided to put the rest off when Lexi started to get a bit antsy with the idea. Purple, a girl, was the lightest weighing in at 13 ounces. Next up was Pink, another girl at 15 ounces and Blue, a boy at 1 pound. Again, I see no obvious runt in the mix and if I had to guess, I'd say purple is likely the smallest of the bunch.
The photos above were taken both today and last evening and  if you look closely it's pretty evident these pups are already getting around well under their own steam. I was shocked to see a pup had already managed to climb on top of Lexi to rest against the pool wall....
