Saturday Morning (beginning week 2)

Saturday morning and we ALL slept in.

The whelping box has washable liners that can be changed out as needed.  Finley, however, keeps the area pretty clean by doing the “pottying” for the puppies.  She licks their bottom areas vigorously and that stimulates elimination (that’s pooping and peeing in plain language).  This is a courtesy she’ll provide only until they start eating solid foods (around 3 weeks).  I did see one pup stand up to poop this morning, a first that I wasn’t able to catch with the camera.

Biff and I noticed last night that their coats have already begun to change.  The darker fur is becoming evident under the “puppy white” in many of them.
