Easy going is one of the best phrases I can come up with for the E Litter...just so happens to start with an E! I admire them for how they transition with changes...the car ride to the vet....introducing them to the outdoor puppy area....no whining..no whimpering..they take it all in and enjoy it. Every litter is different and I must admit this is one of the easiest I've had...6 puppies in itself is more manageable than 11.
Their growth rate is very good. A lb every 2-3 days...so those smal...

Big week for the pups. They had their first car ride on Thursday afternoon - the 6 week check up - my vet is 1/2 hour away. I believe this is the first litter that did none of the "3Ps" No puke....no pee...no poop there or back - I'm always armed with papertowels, washcloths, towels because it always happens.

4 weeks old! This was a big week for the E litter. On Wednesday I introduced them to puppyfood that was put through a blender and soaked in hot water to make a nice fine mush. They loved it! Typical feeding - noses down - the smaller ones climbing on top of the dish for a better angle...groans of being full after the frenzy...then licking the morsels off each other faces and paws. Gloria comes in to finish off any leftovers and they seize the opportunity for a few sips of milk. I fed ...

It's amazing how much developing a puppy does in 21 days. From blind
and deaf and totally dependent on mom to seeing and hearing and
responding when i walk in to walking around and play fighting. The
process amazes me every litter.
Puppies will staying in their
whelping box 1 more e week - on the weekend I will move them to a
bigger room. On Thursday I will start feeding them puppy food that has
been soaked in hot water and put thru a blender...will resemble a very
fine mush which t...
