Weight gains were generally good. Chekov passed the 5kg mark. He is now 5050g having added 180g. Cinderella and Cracker had quieter days. Cinderella added 90g to reach 4880g and Cracker only added 10g to reach 4840 but given that their weight gains have been so good that is not a problem. Casanova did ok. He added 100g to reach 4460g. Cosette added 70g to reach 4300g. Cuddles did well and added 120g to reach 3720g. My Mistress is still encouraging her to aim for 4500g by the time she leaves next Saturday. She says she is trying as hard as she can.
Worming passed off reasonably uneventfully. Cinderella learnt the trick of holding the tablet in her mouth and spitting it out when you were convinced that she had swallowed it. She did that three times before my Mistress eventually got it down. Cuddles spat some over her, but apart from that it passed off without a major incident. We are now into the realms of ‘That’s the last time I will have to do that for this litter…’ It’s sad, but always exciting to think they are heading for their new homes and making lots of other people happy.
In today’s video, while the others are playing Cosette is trying to sleep! You can see it here http://youtu.be/NupvLMYQz60
Today is Cinderella’s last Pupdate. What a journey it has been for her so far. She was born weighing 456g and now weighs more than 10 times that amount. My Mistress decided she could work any time but could only spend the next few days with the puppies so she is enjoying some time sitting cuddling each of them with their blanket and getting them used to their collars. Cinderella is completely happy in a collar. She was very contented on my Mistress’s lap and we were able to take one or two very nice photos.
