The puppies are 3 weeks old today (April 17, 2006). Their eyes and ears are open, and when you approach the whelping box or pen, and start talking to them, they are starting to come up to us. They get very excited when Glory gets in the box, especially if she has been away for a few minutes! They are starting to notice each other in the box more and are starting to play with each other, Glory, and the toys that are present!
Glory is still being a great mom. However, this weekend, she developed mastitis in one of her glands. Thankfully, I have been keeping a close eye on her and I believe we caught it early. The puppies are still able to nurse, and Glory was put on antibiotics for 10 days. It looks much better than it did on Friday night!
I have received some inquiries whether or not these puppies are spoken for. All of these puppies are spoken for and I am very excited about the homes I have chosen. If you are looking for a puppy, please contact me as I know of several upcoming litters.
