Sir Darnley's "P" - 2nd. week
27.04.2005

With 7 days the girl weighs 430 gr, (above), the boy 370 gr. (below). They keep the difference of 60 gr. constantly.

The girl always is laying in prone position. Because of the weight the still soft breastbone is risked to be flatted. In worst case she could develope a "flat puppy syndrom".

Luckily both don't show any signs for that because they are already able to lift themselves on their small legs.

Nevertheless I animate the heavier girl to sleep in lateral position. In the beginning she is quite annoyed but in the end she agrees.

In this position it also is easy to drink!
Two delightful roly-polies at the age of 10 days.
In the meantime Nellie has taken over the complete care of her puppies ...
... but it is sooo exhausting!

When the puppies awake now, they rush to the "milk bar". This time the girl gained the victory.

Today the boy already has very tiny slits in the eyelids. Soon they will be open.

Cuddle!
