3 Weeks 3 Days
The puppies are now toddling around short distances and interacting more with each other. They haven't learned to coordinate all of their legs yet, so they mostly tumble over each other- which leads to a lot of playing! They still sleep a lot, but that will begin to change soon.
2 Weeks 6 Days
The puppies are doing wonderfully well. They are all growing well and their eyes are open. They crawl well, though their heads are still too heavy to walk normally. They will begin eating solid food this week--they have just been introduced to it. As you will see in the pictures, they are very cute already! I have 3 pictures of the boys and 6 of the girls this round. They will be getting their names this week and then I will post individual pictures. Their neurological stimulation is done and I will begin doing my conditioning training Monday. For conditioning I do 6 activities, each followed by a treat of sour cream: 1) I pull their tail 2) I ruffle their fur 3) I pinch between their toes 4) I pull their ears 5) I rub their teeth 6) I hold their muzzle. Obviously, I begin very gently, but my goal is to get them to the point where they will not be startled if this were to happen at their new home. I use the positive reinforcement so they will not only put up with these activities, but look forward to them, because they are associated with special attention and treats!

Kira's puppies continue to grow and are chubby and content. Their eyes are opening, but they still sleep most of the time. We have started giving them baths and they all love to get in the water just like their mommy! They are always calm and still love to snuggle with each other or mommy.
1 Week 5 Days
The puppies are continuing to grow well and are passing some big milestones. They crawl now, though still just short distances, but I will find them in various clusters in their room now, spread apart by several feet. Kira is really good at making sure that everyone is satisfied and I have never seen them ask for milk. They have made the switch from pink skin to mostly black on their paws and face. Their eyes are also just starting to open, which you will see in the pictures. The group continues to be a very calm one when I do the neurological stimulation, which is what I expected with Kira as a mother.
1 Week 2 Days
This week the puppies are more wiggly and the boys gave me a run for my money while trying to get their picture! They are all so sweet and they still try to nuzzle into your arm while holding them. Here are the two wiggly males:
Kira's girls were sleepy and easier to get a group photo. They still love to mound for warmth, so there aren't a lot of individual face photos. They are all so sweet!

Kira continues to be a spectacular mother. Her puppies are all growing well. They have had their first round of neurological stimulation. They were fairly calm, as a group, which would make them very much like their mother. I will keep you posted on how they respond in the upcoming days. One of the female puppies is growing more slowly than the rest, at this point, so I have one puppy that is a little smaller--though she is still good sized. We are removing the dew claws later today, so it will have been a very busy day for the little ones.
0 Weeks 1 Day
The puppies are all nursing well and are content. They are often sleeping, which is a sign that their bellies are full and they are happy. It looks like Kira's milk is starting to come in. She continues to be a great mother. She knows what her puppies need and she loves being a mother.
Day 1-July 22
Kira delivered 8 puppies today. She has 6 girls and 2 boys. They are all really good sized and look to be very healthy and even (same sized). They are nursing well. Kira is a pro at this now and has already made life easy for me-she has her puppies nicely lined up and puts them under the heat lamp or her front leg when they need warming. It is amazing how smart she is. The puppies were born while I was at my work and I forgot to ask my wife to put the heat lamp on. All day she warmed them herself but once the lamp was on, she had them warming there instead! I have pictures and will post them as quickly as I can.
Pictures are taken under a red heat lamp--I will get some away from the lamp tomorrow.
