Pup Update

Everything is very quiet in puppy land which is just as it should be. The puppies' eyes are closed, as are their ears, and all they pretty much do is sleep and eat. Connie is an exceptional mother. She only leaves the puppies to eat, drink and do her business, otherwise she's curled up around them. I only handle the puppies once a day when I need to put them into a cardboard box so I can change the towel they sleep on.

Connie is such a loving, devoted mother: as soon as I've moved all the puppies into the box she climbs in to join them - it isn't a very big box, so it's funny to see her try to squeeze in with them. My husband Steve has been taking her on walks but says that Connie starts whining after only five or ten minutes, she is so anxious about leaving her babies.
