What a week it has been with these gorgeous but fragile pups. Mum Coco developed kennel cough on the morning she went in to labour and so the work began. Within a couple of days, she was on antibiotics along with one of the pups and gradually she improved. One by one, the pups began to develop the snivels but were not poorly and continued to feed and gain weight. 5 out of 7 are now on antibiotics just to be on the safe side. Today they are all crawling around the whelping box eager to get to the milk bar. It's such a relief to get that first week over with and move on to the next week with a bit more confidence. Phew! a bit of a rough ride for sure.

Apologies for lack of updates, due to unforeseen circumstances, I have been unable to use the laptop.

Pups are now five weeks old and they are all thriving. They are now enjoying the raw diet and eating with gusto.

Today they are having their first experience in the puppy pen, it's a little too cold for them to go outside yet but the pen is up and ready for later this week. Photo of them settling in below and they are much bigger now.

All puppies are now settled in their forever homes. It's been a very different experience this time, watching from afar as it were. I missed the contact with the pups and getting to know them all. Updates were very sketchy, my apologies. Alan did a sterling job on his own and after such a bad first few weeks, he came through it all very well with a healthy Mum and super energetic babies. What a success after all.
