Blind wigglers

I am truly amazed at how much time I can spend just staring at these blind wiggling puppies. After 3 days of constant attention, Gabi finally left their side for more than the most rapid of runs outside to take care of business. To be honest, it scared me....I thought something was wrong, but I think she finally realized that the would be OK....for 10 minutes!

I have given them temporary names. Just place holders. Sweets and Katie are nearly identical, although Katie is the smallest in the litter.
At times, I think they haven't changed much, but then I watched a video that I made of the puppsters...they have truly filled out in the past 3 days. I can see them moving faster (oh, my....). They swim across the whelping box.

BTW, warning....I have told that the desire to gaze gets worse when they have eyes that are open.

I think if all world leaders had new litters of puppies to stare at, there wouldn't be wars. No time. Can't take your eyes of the puppies long enough to bother.

I'm not sure which post I'm actually commenting after - couldn't find comments after your Fun MOnday post...

Anyway, I love your moments - including the puppies. WHen I was a little girl, my cat gave birth on my bed in the middle of the night. I woke up, turned on the lamp and watched. It was amazing! Your lovely new mama seems to be a good one!

Toyotas (the older ones) - you just can't kill them!

I was in my 50's the first time I saw a litter of puppies being born. I'll never forget it. What an amazing thing to watch that Mommy know instinctively what to do.
An absolute high for me, for sure.
