Here is a photo journal of a typical litter and their first few weeks with me...

Diva and her newborn babes by Ch. ShadowGlen Augustus, CD, JH, WC, CGC, TDI born October 23, 2004

Newborn pups in a basket, while Diva takes a break outside  

Sunday, October 24th...Day 1... Diva thoughtfully brings her pups a green stuffed snake to curl up with!

Monday, October 25th... Day 2.... Today, she brought in her yellow duck to rest her head on while nursing....

Tuesday, October 26th...Day 3... Gussie and Annie look to get comfortable-- Annie finds Diva's foot, but Gussie finds her duck!!

Day 5... Fat nursing puppies....

Day 6... Annie collar likes the snake and jack that Diva brought her!!

One week old and look at the pigment on Louis and Gussie!

Two weeks old... eyes are opening, they're up on their feet... and getting fatter by the day!

Three weeks old:  The pups are really developing personalities!  They all got mani/pedicures and new collars today, as well as a first taste of dog

 food, and a new weaning area added on to the puppy pen!  Diva loves to join them, but can also watch them from the couch above:

Pups are almost 4 weeks old:
