Everyone has gained well since they were born. Bright Green was the beefcake of the group until Teal outweighed him today. She may have just had a bigger evening snack, so I expect him to be on top again soon. I've been putting them on Oakley in two shifts, as Bright Green and Pink tend to shove the other puppies off the prime milk real estate. Shift 1 is Blue, Black, Red, Hunter and RJ. Shift 2 is Bright Green, Pink, Teal, and Purple. The second shift is also the loud bunch. Wow - they can get some volume in their cries!
Oakley is doing great - eating well, keeping everyone fed and clean, and taking time for some breaks to stretch her legs and cool off. It's been very warm here - in the 80s almost every day this week. Having 9 hot water bottles on her can be a bit much, so she's spending more time on the cool hardwood floors this time around.
My camera battery doesn't want to keep a charge, so no new pictures until one of my friends picks up a new battery for me tomorrow. If you need something to satiate your need for puppy pictures, just watch the videos from yesterday again... love those sweet puppy noises.
