Here’s a pupdate on the baybeez. I weigh them each morning right after I get up (even before I have coffee). They will be two weeks old on Monday. I’m hoping their eyes open this weekend. They’ve become very relaxed while I cart them around, snuggling up against my cheek. A couple of them even lick my chin. Once their eyes open, I will start them on ground raw turkey, goat milk, and a tablespoon of olive oil twice a day — which will increase as Dory feeds them less often. Dory certainly maintains these little chubbies well and keeps them clean to boot. She’s reached the point, however, at which she likes to come out of the whelping room a couple of times a day to romp with another adult dog. (I remember that feeling.)
