Yesterday we took a little time to get some puppy pictures before we left on vacation and I'm just getting around to posting tonight.  It's hard to believe how much they've grown in first 5 days, but they've double in size, and there are not signs of them slowing down. For a first time mother, Mags has amazed me.  She's always been one with very little sit, and a whole lot of go, so I wondered how she'd take to looking after a bunch of little ones. Well....she's been great! She keeps a watchful eye on them, and I think the babies have mellowed her out already.  She'll lay in the whelping box for hours on end nursing and cleaning up after them. When she comes in from playing out side she always makes sure to nuzzle them out of the way so when she lays down so she doesn't smash any of them.   We clipped dew claws on Thursday and changed carpet for the first time so they had a fresh clean bed to sleep in!  Even though the pups aren't very exciting at this stage, we tend to enjoy every minute of keeping our watchful eyes on them. We know that 7 weeks comes too quickly so this family sure makes the most of every moment count!
