As you can see... or not, these little monsters are growing. They also seem incredibly strong for their age. While their preferred method of maneuvering themselves is the crawl, I've seen a few of them take what I would call "some steps"! None have actually gotten up on all fours and walked yet but steps none the less. Their weights were taken and posted early this morning and they're impressive to say the least. Measured on their 6th day of life, Pink more than doubled her birthweight!!! Black and Blue equaled her gain of a whopping one pound one ounce! And with that, Orange gaining only 15 ounces lost her title of heavyweight to Black. Purple equaled the gain of Orange. Red slightly less and Green the least with a gain of only 12 ounces. I'll give our girls with the colors a Christmas a nudge or two this week and watch.
This litter, compared to all others seems the most content. Many times, actually most times, they're scattered around the whelping box with none of them fighting to get the groceries. It's nice to see, even though it probably won't last, as their nutritional requirements will steadily increase. Their tails and dew claws are all healing nicely and all credit to Majestic at this point they're shiny and healthy in appearance. A magnificent litter in the making if I do say so myself!
