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.
