Phoenix's puppies are now one week old! They remain very much like little squirmy sausage-alligoators, "swimming" across the blankets to get where they want to go, still blind and functionally deaf but very cute nonetheless!! They are growing very well and have roughly double their weight in the past week.
Phoenix is a very quiet and attentive mama, not overly protective but still alert to any danger. She does not want the other big dogs to come near her puppies, but is quite happy to accept human visitors. So far we have had only fairly well-known people come to our house so she has not had any cause for alarm by the presence of strangers. Starting next week we will allow less well-known individuals to come, though puppy visits should wait until the pups are at least 4 weeks old and more like real little dogs.
Here are some photos to help satisfy the need for soft cuddlies!
