All puppies were very strong and crawling around. Each puppy immediately latched onto the nipple with no problem. The dam was very gentle as she cleaned each puppy. The first two males were born within 30 minutes. The third puppy was a female born 30 minutes later, and after that each puppy was about 30 minutes apart. This was a very easy litter and all puppies came out head first. No puppies were breach or stuck.

Each puppy is starting to grow out of the ribbon collars I made. The puppies are dreaming a lot and I wonder what they could be possibly be thinking since they cannot see or hear very well. The ears are still closed shut and very small amounts of skin are falling off to start and allow the ears to open.
Puppies started to open the eyes a little, the first puppies was black collar, blue collar, and pink collar. Scooting around and taking good steps now. Some puppies can stabilize themselves to poop.
