2 Days Old

(L to R) Fudge, Blaze, Freckle, Bigsy

The puppies are 2 days old already and are all doing really well. We always weigh them at the end of every day until they are 2 weeks old just to make sure that they are all feeding well and steadily putting on weight. After 2 weeks we then continue to weigh them but just once a week until they leave for their new homes, at about 8 weeks old.

So, after tonight's check the puppies weights are as follows:

1. Freckle 242 grams (182)
2. Blaze 245 grams (178)
3. Bigsy 305 grams (224)
4. Fudge 310 grams (216)

The birth weight is in brackets so that you can see how quickly they have grown.

Tilly is doing an excellent job of looking after her puppies, feeding them well and keeping them clean and warm. She has also got her appetite back now and is feeding herself well too and, as you can see in the picture above, she even finds time for a short nap with the puppies.
