Puppy Update

Photos to follow I promise but as I've taken so many, it's taking a fair bit of time to sort through them all!

In the mean time though, I thought that I'd give an update to how the are all doing as I haven't done that for a while. Well, all is good and they're still continuing to do really well. It's starting to get quite exciting now as one of them has actually opened their eyes today!! A couple of others are peeping a little bit which is quite cute.

They are also trying to tentatively work out whether their back legs are used for anything better than just dragging them around. I've seen a few of them definitely up on all fours even if it's just for a milli second before landing splat back down, legs splayed out like Bambi!

Jenna is doing well too but I can see the strain that having puppies has had on her. She seems a little run down with her paw rather sore after she pulled out the fur. (I know, nice right?!) Along with a slightly infected eye, her regime consists of a three times daily salt foot bath, an eye wash followed by a calcium tablet. Oh, and she also has her ears cleaned twice a week!! The things you do for the animals you love eh! It all seems to be working so that's rewarding in itself.

Anyway, I'll stop boring you with all my doggy nursing stories. Some pictures to follow of all eight of them soon!
