Sadly on Sat. we had to let the little girl go to join her brothers. She had lost weight, would not eat and even with tube feedings just could not get a foothold. The two remaining puppy boys are doing fantastic, they have doubled their birth weight and eat like piglets. The tri is already the mellow, settled puppy and the sable is the complainer who is always crawling into a tight spot. I suspect he will be the first out of the box and will then sit there and cry because he can't figure out what to do nex. Even at 7 days old their little personalities are clear. We've dubbed the tri "Bert" and the sable "Ernie". Now we watch and wait and hope they both turn out to be healthy, happy, very correct, very hairy puppies. And of course eye checks will be interesting since daddy Bryce is a normal eyed/carrier of CEA. Given the heartbreak with this litter, wouldn't it be a grand gift if they were both normal eyed? Sigh..probably a bit too much to hope for. Until next time on puppy watch...
I think they are adorable and I love their names.
