Day
Nine - 9th November 2009


Amy's
puppies are now 9 days old, their eyes are beginning to open and
most of them are trying to walk. They are consistently putting
on a good 50g (2oz) per day and have now all passed their birth
weights, having lost a fair amount of weight overnight when they
were first
born (this is expected). The puppies are still being weighed twice
a day, 12 hours apart, so that detailed records can be kept. Philippa
is still sleeping in the dog room with Amy and her puppies every
night and has done so since they were born, to ensure all is well
and will probably do so for at least another
week, if not two.
Amy
is
now
spending
short periods of time away from the puppies and enjoying the company
of Harvey & Millie, who as of yet haven't meet Amy's puppies.
The black is beginning to appear on the puppy's noses and paw pads
as
yesterday's pictures probably show.

As
you can see the puppies noses are gaining their black pigmentation
with some puppies
noses blacker than others. Most of the pups have
their eyes half open now and they can walk a few wobbly steps. When
they sense that Philippa has climbed into the whelping box to help
Amy back in (to ensure no one gets trodden on) they all dash across
the
box
towards her. As each day passes this dash becomes faster and
faster and often they reach Amy well before she has had a chance
to lye down. This is why it's important that Philippa is there to
ensure that no one gets squashed whilst Amy settles down to
feed everyone.
