10 Days Old Today

Last week was a week of new life. In addition to our puppies arrival, Thursday, February 4th we welcomed our ninth grandchild into our family. Robbie,(my forth born son) and his wife Chelsea welcomed their first child, a sweet baby girl. Sadly because of restrictions, we were not able to make our usual excited trip to the hospital to meet her – so, she shall be know as our “Covid Baby” LOL Hopefully before she is too old, this pandemic will be a thing of the past.

Ruska continues to be a wonderful mama and dedicated to caring for her babies. The puppies are gaining weight daily and continue to do what healthy puppies do – Eat, Sleep, and grow!

Notice in this video the puppies are maturing – their heads are changing shape and you can see their eyes that are still sealed shut, developing. When the puppies turn two weeks old, we will see their eyes begin to open.
After a good meal there is no better place to sleep than snuggling with mama
Pink Girl is relaxed and sleeping on her back – a favourite doodle sleep position LOL!
After nursing, Ruska checks and cleans her puppies. Some of the puppies were hoping their mama would stay in the whelping box so they could cuddle but that wasn’t in the plan. Ruska is now spending some of her time sleeping outside the whelping box. This helps the puppies begin the transition of becoming more independent. Some of the pups took awhile to find a comfy place to sleep!
