| 8387-T-375 , 10:34P , 12/31/2012 , Monday , Day 1 .. First three puppies , Puppies are still wet . At first I thought the Chocolate was a Black as the remnants of being born give the puppies a much darker look but then I saw its Chocolate nose . Day 1 is zero days old, they will not be one day old until Day 2 - confusing but think about it. I plan to weigh the puppies at 1 week which will be day 8 and then weekly. |

First picture of the new year. MaMa cleaning a Yellow. The last puppy born is behind her left ear and is still wet. All the Yellows are Female as is the Black , The Chocolate is the only Male. |

 |
| 8397-375 , 1/3/13 , Thursday, Day 4 .. The Runt, a Chocolate Male, is propped up between two shoes to keep him from falling off the nipple. He was very weak on day four from not enough milk but perked up after this picture due to getting a belly full of milk. . |
8400-375 , 1/3/13 , Thursday, Day 4 .. Later in the day the Chocolate could latch and hold on to the nipple very good. |
 |
 |

Discovered there are two pink nosed YFs in this group while weighing, I have been too busy to notice and showed up this morning during the weighing when I decided to show the Pink nose weigh separate. Strange but as well as I remember all Pink nosed Females seem to be the heaviest. The boys usually will not overtake them until they mature. |

CoCo's average puppy weight of the seven puppies is still gaining on Miss Vader's and is now only 10% lower than Miss Vader's 5 puppie average weight. The Chocolate male is starting to gain some ground in the weight department. At Three weeks he weighed 40% of the heavest puppy and 52% of the average weight. Now he weighs 56% of the heaviest and 69% of the average, he is very active. |
