Pupdate!!

The pups are now just past 4 weeks old. Weighed them all this morning and although there's a difference of almost 1lb between the smallest and the fattest, I'm not too worried because they're all healthy. We've got two left to name and hopefully they'll start exhibiting some unique personality traits soon, so we can start calling them something other than cutie!! They've all learned how to stand up and look over the wall of their little compound. Here's Newby staring at me wondering where his momma is. Maggie, their mama, spends most of her day with Dash and Roux outside or asleep on the sofa. Feeding time has become a little more difficult. Since there are ten pups and Maggie can only feed 8 at a time...... it's a little hectic. Actually it's more like a mall mob the day after xmas. The frantic rush to get there first and no concern for who gets stepped on or pushed out of the way. They've even started biting and growling to get that almighty teat. Funny, the number of thoughts that flashed through my head just then. The symbolism alone made me dizzy and lightheaded with giddy laughter!! I still assist from time to time by exiling the few fatties to another part of the compound, just so the little guys can feast for awhile. Again... there go those symbolic thoughts racing around in my head. I'd write 'em down but told myself there''s no need to now that we have responsible and accountable government. My political sarcasm has stalled so to say.... it'll never be gone completely!! One of the highlights of puppy fostering is getting to go worm hunting. It's a good sign actually... tells me the dewormer is doing it's thing. Still gross though. These are round worms... the most common worms for puppies. My little guys were born with these, since Mama was already infested. They're kind of prehistoric looking. The next ones I find... I'm video taping for You Tube!!! They move around all slow-like..... looking like Nessie on land. I guess I forgot to mention that half of the pups are now over 5lbs. We now have 49lb 2 oz of puppy!!! So far we have named 8.... and here they are....
