I'm a new person!!! Whew! Okay- everyone has kept their birth weight and some have gained a little so far. They are all such good eaters! We have not had to supplement or help Stella clean puppies at all since she only has 8 babies this time. We have kept a video monitor on them and keep checking periodically, but have not had to intervene since this is such a manageable group. 14 was too much last year.
Stella is such a good mother. She wants each puppy beside her at all times. She only leaves them periodically to go outside to the restroom, bark at her squirrel trees, and come say hello and get a good scratching and kisses from us in our bedroom. She is so proud of her puppies and loves for Josh and me to come sit with her puppies. She has been a picky eater so I've been spoon feeding her canned food, scrambling her eggs, and giving her an extra slice of cheese with her calcium pills.
Here are a few pictures! Individual ones to come later. They were all so quiet and peaceful when I had my phone with me just now.
