D\u2019Artagnan has taken over as leader in the weight stakes. He added 105g to get to 1045g. Duchess added 80 to reach 1035g \u2013 so that\u2019s two puppies who have passed the 1kg mark. Then Dixie is not far behind at 980g having added 100g and \u2018little\u2019 Della is not so little \u2013 she is now 940g having added 90g. Finally our Mistress has lost 4 pounds, but she says I can\u2019t mention what weight that brings her down to!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are still getting some help from bottle feeding as some of Shadow\u2019s teats seem to be completely dry. She seems to have a good supply in others but they can\u2019t all eat at the same time and there are occasions when they are going round crying looking for food \u2013 but it depends which side Shadow is lying on as one side is better than the other. They do tunnel underneath as I used to do, but I think with Shadow\u2019s C-section it\u2019s harder for her to lie in a way that makes that so easy.<\/p>\n\n\n

You have been asking how we tell them apart and<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Dixie\"<\/a>

the answer is \u2018not easily\u2019. Basically there are at the moment very few differences, although I think Dixie might be developing slightly longer white socks than Della. This is the best I can do at the moment, but as I can show you more differences or Alfie can if they<\/p>\n\n\n\n

happen in the week then we\u2019ll tell you what they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
