Its all happening this week at a rate of knots. The first to open her eyes at 9 days was the little cream girl (AKA Brûlée) and the first to sit up and demand seconds was the first born male (AKA Tips). It has been a battle between Tips and the fourth born girl (AKA Blaze) as to who would try to pile on the weight fastest. The third born girl (AKA Sox) and the second boy (AKA Stripe) seem to love having their nails clipped - everyone else put up a fair old battle so I had to resort to mummification in a handy towel, just as is frequently required when giving a cat a pill. The nails are tiny and my goodness its hard not to get it wrong and clip the quick.
All tolerated the Panacur worming treatment well. The first born girl (AKA V) is the most adept by far at eating the salmon mousse and soaked puppy kibble - something we tried today for the first time as the pups are hungry in between feed sessions, especially in the mornings. What a mess, and most wound up eating more from each other than the plate...Ilo continues to be a fab Mum, and has, after a slow start, realised the joy of salmon mousse-impregnated puppy fur.
They are beginning to mouth and play bite with tiny emerging puppy teeth this week, although they are not too serious about it yet and still appear slightly inebriated.
The markings are really coming out now and I have put some 2 week headshots (huge thanks to Rob and Karen Goldthorpe) with weights and names at last(!) on the Muohta page - enjoy.
