Day 9

The puppies get louder every day, interrupting conversations and making their presence known. They are especially loud when they are trying to walk around. No one has been successful yet, but they are all trying. This involves shakily raising themselves up on their front legs and pushing with their back legs, which thrusts them forward and causes them to faceplant. Check out the videos!

Day 6

I've been lazy and haven't updated, sorry everybody! Everyone is doing well. Several of the puppies now weigh 1 pound, and the rest are quickly catching up. We're bottle-feeding them three times a day to give Isabelle a break. They all seem to like the formula, so it's a good system. Izzy was a bit anxiety-ridden for the first few days, but she has relaxed a lot. Today she played frisbee with dad and was in and out of the room all day. Quiexo (the dad) got to see his babies for the first time today, albeit from a distance. Hopefully in a few weeks he'll be able to play with them.

Day 3

No pictures or videos today. A little too tired from bottle-feeding. They are already showing visible growth, which is pretty wild. They're also getting hair growing on their ears and you can see that their coats are getting longer. It's amazing how fast it all happens. I promise to put up new pictures and videos either tomorrow or this weekend, so keep checking!

Day 2

All are healthy but tired. Everybody seems to be nursing fine and Izzy got some sleep. Here are some videos!

Day 1

Isabelle began having contractions at 6:15 a.m. on Tuesday the 22nd of July. The first puppy came at 7:18, and the last one came at 11:48 a.m. All went smoothly, though number nine had some trouble and came out butt first. Thus, he was named Bass Ackwards. We ended up with 3 girls and7 boys, weighing between 8 and 14 ounces.
