Any thoughts my Mistress had of big weight gains have gone out of the window. They are all still gaining, but slowly. Having said that for their joints, slow growth is the best. This morning they were playing for much longer than they have been and then only wanting a short nap. When food arrived they were not all that keen, but we gave them time and they got there in the end.
Chekov is heaviest. He added 90g to reach 2880g. Cinderella added 60g to reach 2840g. Cracker dropped back a bit but had done well the day before. She only added 10g to reach 2790g. Cosette did well adding 80g to reach 2580g, overtaking Casanova who only added 30g to reach 2570g. Cuddles despite all the encouragement only added 10g to reach 2240g.
My Mistress is now trying to give extra time to both Casanova and Cuddles today in an attempt to build them up a bit.
Cosette had some blanket time this morning and Chekov is going to have some time after lunch. So far all of them have been happy to have time on their own in the other pen and are quite relaxed with their blanket smelling of their new owners. That is always a good sign.
In today’s video you can see the puppies getting more fun out of wrestling than their toys. Although in the background one is folding up the piece of vet bed in their whelping box! You can see it here http://youtu.be/NTBPalZl8nY
