Wow, time flies! The babies will be a week old tomorrow. We ended up with 4 girls and a boy. Since I had to miss a 5K road race to stay home and assist with the birth, the puppies' litter names will be running shoes! Martina's brother, Toby, was going to join my in the race. I'll have to make it up to him another time.
We had a visit to the vet on Monday. Dew claws were removed. There was a little fussing, but everyone was happy to get back to nursing.
I'm amazed at how the spots are already starting to show thru. I don't know if it is because this is a summer litter, and the hair is sparser/shorter? Face markings are sure cute. I don't use ribbon to mark my puppies, I learn to tell them apart by their faces as soon as they are born. I jot down notes about spots on noses, muzzles, around eyes, and on the ears. These 5 are easy to tell apart. Just check out the photos.
