8 day old puppies, full, fat and warm in heat of day


They are growing so fast its amazing. She is doing them very well indeed. Birth weight 385g. Weight at 7 days 850g. No eyes yet, and ears still closed, but notice that their little legs are beginning to hold up their (considerable) weight. So, so hot. Just taking out yellow horse, but its really far too warm to enjoy equine pastimes. Youngest has departed for outward journey to Budapest, carrying just one small rucksack containing mostly pants and swimwear. Temp at destination is 30 plus degrees. More nervous than excited now that the trip is actually here! Fingers crossed that all 7 lads return safe, well and tired.

Hope he packed enough underwear!

Puppies are precious, they do look like they're getting plenty of milk.

they are growing so fat its astonishing. And they are very cuddlesome. Obviously mum needs much help with physical contact, meaning that most times of the day someone is holding a pup or two - just to help her you understand!

who could resist cuddling one of those little sausages?

How is the Aunt taking it all? is she jealous of her sister's pups, or is she ignoring them?

the aunt has just been allowed to look into the box. Not quite close enough for sniffing, but at least enough to feast her eyes. Think whe will be a babysitter in a week or two.
