Ruby's Puppies

Monday 6th of August.

When the puppies were born, Ronaldo appeared to have a perfect ridge, we then decided he had a crown missing, making 2 pet puppies in the litter. Today Olivia was changing their collars and noticed that he does infact have 2 crowns, albeit small ones so we have 8 pups with perfect ridges.

Within a day of introducing solids they were receiving 3 meals a day, a combination of raw beef mince and puppy kibble and they consume It with relish. They are also lapping easily, both water and milk ,so Ruby can now ease off on the feeding ,which suits her, as her interest is waning ,as I knew It would.

The puppies are up on their feet now and playing with one another while they are awake, they are also showing all of the characteristics of little dogs ie, scratching themselves like dogs do.

The weather has cooled off which is a blessing as It was too hot last week.

I have not weighed the puppies but they are all plonking on the weight and some of the boys are looking really big, but experience has taught me that they will all even out in size over the next couple of weeks as genetics determines their ultimate size not who is most adept at getting to the milk.
