The puppies are now three weeks old and have been eating solids for a week. Some are noisy feeders and sound like they love their food. They are walking about and finding their voices, wagging their tails and eating and sleeping. Puppy piles are their favourite way to sleep.

Day 10
Unfortunately, despite doing all we could, we lost Miss Light Blue. The other pups are thriving and today we see some have their eyes opening revealing a gorgeous deep blue colour. We will get a photo in the next couple of days. Kuini continues to be the perfect Mum and the pups are putting on incredible weights each day.

Vet saves Miss Blue
Much can change, and quickly. Little Miss blue seemed more sleepy yesterday and within an hour had become too cold to want to feed well. We called the vet and he administered some fluids into her abdomen. I had milked Kuini, who is such a marvelous mumma and is extremely patient. I bottle fed Miss Blue drop by drop once she warmed up under a lamp, and she was much more active. Pups are weighed daily to see if anyone is falling behind. I am topping up the four smallest pups every three hours - reminds me of those past days of our own newborn babies.
