![]() A Proud Shimmer and The "Taos" litter, one hour old. Shimmer's first birth was effortless - birthing all 8 puppies in 2 hours. With birth weights from 284 to 442 grams, the pups were born hale, hearty and happy with no mishaps. On the 4th day, our vet, Sue Felser, came to our Bed and Breakfast to look over the litter and remove dewclaws. Parents and pups were wormed at 5 weeks. They loved that banana flavor - a good experience and all is well. Shimmer, new to motherhood, was a calm, gentle and attentive mom. What follows is the 6 weeks old progress report. (The pups are now three years old.) At 6 weeks, the pups are being introduced to hard food, raw bones, toys of different shapes, different sounds in volume and type and they are a bodacious, joyful bunch. Happily, no one is scared of the vacuum cleaner! Cautiously coming out of seclusion,
they are being held daily and allowed to run and explore together and as
individuals. All seek and enjoy affection. Much of
their time is still spent playing, eating and sleeping. Shimmer is still
allowing them to nurse and the sight of 8 pups on hind legs is a sight to
behold! Playing tug is the newest joy as well as chewing on our ankles and toes! |
