Dec 17, 2012 Day 5

Good afternoon,

I am happy to say that all the pups have survived the first 4 days. They are not out of the woods yet as their critical time extends to 14 days. So here's hoping we are on the right track ;-)

I did some metric conversions for weights as some of our audience is using ounces instead of grams....

Birth weights:

Green boy - 136 grams = 4.80 oz
Blue boy   - 140 grams = 4.94 oz
Pink girl    - 118 grams = 4.16 oz
Yellow girl- 139 grams = 4.90 oz
Red girl    - 131 grams = 4.62 oz

Today's weights:


Green boy - 229 grams = 8.08 oz
Blue boy   - 213 grams = 7.51 oz
Pink girl    - 176 grams = 6.21 oz
Yellow girl- 202 grams = 7.13 oz
Red girl    - 210 grams = 7.14 oz

The Pink Girl continues to be smaller than the others but is maintaining her weight gains. I have not been substitute feeding because Ocean's milk is in and they almost drown when she lets it down. I know that there is enough to eat.

look how fat i am ;-)

Officially moved onto the pirate's lair blanket of fame

Cheers for today,
