@Patty:
SOOOO….. ANYWAY....
Robyn, can we see new pictures please? What are their personalities like? Is momma still as protective? Can dad still sneak in to see his babies? How are they all doing?
The pups are almost 5 weeks old now and Bindi shows no concern about Baron being around them. Bindi's yearling sons, Spot and Rainie, are too rambunctous to be around the pups while they are this small. A few days ago, I had forgotten to put up the x-pen baracade. The boys bolted past me when I brought them inside and they ran to the puppy pen. The door was open and Rainie hopped in while Spot looked in curiously. Bindi was watching them intently but didn't get too upset. I got the boys crated before they squashed the pups. I do not allow the other two girls near the puppy pen unless Bindi is outside. Both love babies and are very gentle with them.
The pups are developing slower than normal which leads me to believe they were born a few days premature. (They are 3-5 days behind where they should be.) They still sleep most of the time and the length of time that they are animated is brief so personalities are not apparent yet. I can see some things but they will go through many changes in the next 2-3 weeks so what they do right now may or may not be who they will end up being.
I uploaded photos of week 3 and week 4. The pictures are not very good though.
It's 3 am so I'm sorry for misspelled words and poor punctuation.
