I will report weights today. One the day they were born, the pups weighed: Dano-6 7/8 oz., Mab-6 3/4 oz., Darby-5 3/4 oz., and Boyle-3 5/8 oz. This AM weights: Dano-12 3/4 oz, Mab-11 3/4 oz, Darby-8 oz, and Boyle-7 oz. Most have almost doubled in weight. Whew! The two big bulldozers are hard on the little ones, knocking them off the nipples quite handily. I am the policeman and am quite impressed with the finesse the big ones use to nose in on the little ones. I feel it on my hands which are making a cage around the little ones. Interesting.
The little ones get a dab here and a dab there of Nutrical or smooth peanut butter. Not often and not a lot, but maybe a dollop that will help them to live and thrive. I'm not as worried any longer, but feel "needed" and continue to shield the little ones from the bulldozers!
Hard to tell the difference in sizes in these photos. Maybe when I get the pictures all straightened out it will be more obvious. The dark one on the left in the last photo is Dano and the one with the lighter head next to him is Mab. Boyle is to the right of Darby here.
More soon. Still getting up in the night.
