First there was 1 pair of baby blue eyes now there are 2 pairs ...





















DAY 11















The other two pups have now joined their brother in viewing the world.




Wriggling puppies, only three but an armful.






























































Multi tasking mom, while one pup nurses another pup gets a thorough cleaning.













This pup had his meal interrupted when Mom decided he needed a clean up. Gee Mom, not now!















Caught this picture of a pup trying to take off using leg power but obviously did not quite make it.












The following pictures were taken throughout the day as the puppies rolled, or pulled themselves around the whelping box.











The pup on the top looks like he has a grin on his puppy face or a contented look judging by his full tummy.

















Two different sleeping positions: the curled up look and the fully stretched flattened look.














Puppy hugging...nose to nose. I think they happened to roll the same direction coming nose to nose.

We have eyes......baby blue







DAY 11














The biggest boy pup has opened his eyes a little more than the day before. The other pups eyes remain as tiny slits starting to open. Maybe tomorrow.......





































If not on his back this is another one of a favorite sleeping position.














Each pup to his own space. Note: all are stretched out flat.












































































This big boy pup spent most of the day on his back when not eating or cruising along the pig rails.








DAY 10




The big boy pup trying to escape the warming box while the whelping box was being re-arranged.































All for One and One for All for these three musketeers. Always like to be close to each other during meal time but don`t like to share their nipples with one another.

DAY 10





***click on picture to enlarge ***






The biggest pup is beginning to open his eyes. Just a mere slit can be seen at this time. The other pups eyes remain closed no evidence of any slits opening at this time. The big pup is seen as the first one in the row







Big pup seen to the far right with the beginning of eye opening.




























DAY 9



Pups after a meal.





A cycle of eating <-> sleeping <-> eating <-> a cleaning from Mom Rose then back to the cycle all over again.







This pup just had too much of a good thing...while his brother sucks on, he takes a break


















































Pups tummy after a meal.













This puppy deals with his full tummy by stretching to his full length.? making more room for all the milk ingested.











This pup just rolls him self into a corner.
Not much pup action after a meal which is usually the best time for a weigh in.

























Another meal.....
































Puppies have the whole whelping box to themselves while Rose decides tio make a bed her and is quite content to take time away from those suckers
