Day 9

The first week has been and gone in the blink of an eye!

All pups are gaining weight steadily, with Mr Green already over 700g! Mr Green, Mr Red, Mr Blue and Miss Yellow are all making cute barking and growling noises and all pups are wobbling around the whelping box instead of crawling on their tummies.

Their eyes should start to open any time from Friday (Day 10) onwards which will be very exciting.

The Biosensor Program is going well but they are getting more vocal in their disgust at being put in such strange positions.

We trimmed their nails on Monday; we were going to wait until yesterday but after being left with nice scratch marks on my arm, we decided sooner was better....poor Chase! It went quite well with me holding and Darren trimming, the use of toe nail clippers rather than scissors made it much easier and quicker.

I've now put a furry snake in their box so they have something to climb over and under. I also have two Snuggle Safe heat pads in the whelping box (thanks Laura), so with the extra 'hurdles' it will help prevent 'swimmers'.
