The puppies turned two weeks old yesterday. They all opened their eyes at 10 days and everyone has nice brown eyes. Sadly, we lost boy puppy #2 on Friday. He continued to fail and began losing weight. Though he ate, he just could not absorb the food. I am awaiting the results of the necropsy. On a more upbeat note the rest of the puppies are thriving. The girls are over 4 pounds and little guy is 3 pounds. They are moving all over the whelping box. Taylor continues to take good care of them in her laid back fashion.

The puppies are now one week old and doing well. The girls are little piglets and are all well over two pounds. The little guy is over a pound. The second boy is not gaining as well as the others. I will take him to the vet tomorrow to see what's going on with him. Taylor is a good mom but not a doting mom.

On Sunday May 16th, Taylor free whelped 6 beautiful puppies. The sixth puppy was stillborn so she is the proud mother of 3 girls and 2 boys. One boy only weighed 10 ounces but is a feisty guy and so far is holding his own. The other puppies ranged from 1 lb 2 oz to 1 lb 6 oz. They are all well marked. I am very pleased with this litter!
