How fast they grow! Their faces are getting longer with the faintest hint that they may look like whippets at some point. These little guys are starting to fight with each other and their teeth are erupting. The biggest ones are now over 3 lbs and the smallest one is 3 1/2 lbs. In spite of the fact that my scales are a little on the small side, all the puppies have learned to quietly settle in when I weigh them. In fact they are almost falling asleep. We are feeding rice cereal with duck eggs and raw goat milk 3 times/day, alternating with nursing but the puppies prefer mom. Getting their tummies full at night helps me and Dancer get a little more sleep at night.
The process of deciding which ones to keep is daunting because of course I want to keep them all.
Today it is time to trim their nails again and to do a first worming.
