Growing, growing, growing

The pups have spent their first time with a dog sitter. We had a family funeral to attend in Tucson so "Aunt Kathy" (formerly of photographer fame) has come to house sit with the kids. After the first night of "singing" all night, the pups have settled in well and are adjusting well their new schedule.

Pekoe had been sleeping in with me since Monday but has returned to sleeping on the couch in the family room with the pups. This morning she pushed her way back into the puppy pen and started to nurse them again. Their food consumption has nearly doubled since I fenced Pekoe out of the puppy pen. They're eating 3x/day now about 3 cups of "puppy goo" each meal. Fortunately, this seems to be a pretty smart bunch and most is going into their stomachs and not being "worn" as with some past litters.
