Good evening to all,
It has been a busy week. With work and taking care of puppies I haven't had time to post anything new.
Yesterday, Tony and I had to travel to Victoria for our son's convocation, BScN. Happy and proud day for the family. I had a breeding friend volunteer to come and litter sit Bobi and the kids while we were away. This might sound like a simple thing but she had to get up at 3:30 am after feeding her baby at 2:30, pack up her new baby and drive almost an hour to get here. Her husband took care of her litter while she was here taking care of mine. a BIG THANK YOU!!!!
Today, being Saturday, means a little more time and I have managed to get new ribbons and pictures of each of the puppies.

Bobi has still not had all of the puppies at one time. I am being very cautious not to overwhelm her with that many mouths to feed. To be sure she does not have that many nipples that she could accommodate all at once dining even if she wanted to.
Feeding this many puppies remains a constant concern. I expect these guys to meet 'the double the birth weight' mark tomorrow, all things remaining the same. To achieve this, both Tony and I have been doing round the clock feedings. I still get up at least twice a night to move the box puppies in with Bobi and 'top up' [with a bottle] the Bobi group before putting them into the box to sleep while the others eat.
Tony graciously let me sleep in this morning ;-D

| Half the gang hanging out, in the 'box', until it's their turn with mommy Bobi |
 |
| The happy gang who are actually spending time with mommy Bobi and getting lunch ;-) YUM!! |
 |
| A young friend came over to visit today and play with the puppies. Bobi is so cool, she's eating her kibble with yogurt while our visitor selects a puppy to bottle feed. |
 |
| I love the balanced, even temperedness of Bobi. Eating while a young visitor bottle feeds her kids. Wow, who could ask for more? |
 |
| Gotta hold the puppy and the bottle just so.... |
 |
| Proud that the puppy is eating so well. This is her first time feeding puppies with a bottle. |

| weighing puppies is easier if they sleep in the bowl ;-) |
