Four Weeks Today

Annie's puppies were born four weeks ago today. In four weeks, the wee ones have gone from weighing just a few ounces and being totally helpless to weighing 2-3 pounds and becoming inquisitive, active puppies. The puppies are toddling around, climbing and yip-yapping to be held. Annie is spending less time with the puppies and is walking away when they want to nurse. The puppies are drinking formula and their teeth are starting to come in.

Annie and her family has dealt with health problems the past month but I think that is all behind us now. Annie's a wonderful dog and she's a very good mother. She's gained some confidence in herself but there's still a long way to go. Friend Nancy visited Friday and Annie hid the whole time. It was just too scary to come out to meet someone new. Annie's world was very small before she came into ours. I remember that the vet said we might not see noticeable improvement for six months. I think Annie's ahead of schedule.

The pictures you've seen on dogblog the past few days are of Mark, Robin and Sprout. Aren't they adorable?
