Thanks for the kind words.
I'm off work this week so I'm posting from my daughter's. I'll try to get some new pics of the babies so everyone can watch their progress. They are visibly bigger now.
Hope everyone has a great Christmas.

PS. Does anyone know where I went wrong to get all of my pictures to be the same? :confused:
Ditto from me,
You have given such a special gift to Chiquita and her pups.
THe pictures turned out wonderful.
Sorry I've been away so long. We've been snowed in --honest-- in South Carolina!
I thought I moved far enough south to never see the stuff again, but I was sure wrong.
The pups have their eyes open and are eating mushed up puppy food and milk replacement mixed with water. Chiquita isn't sure about this, but is getting used to it. They sure do make a mess, wading right into the pie plate!
I managed to weigh them yesterday. All weigh between 1-1/8 and 1-1/4 lbs. They are starting to have personalities. A couple of them are trying to bark.
I'm going to corral my sister this week end to get some updated pictures. She has the good camera. :D

New pictures. http://community.webshots.com/storag...Kkxqixv_th.jpg :D
So precious!!!! I'm so glad you got us some new pictures!!! More More!!!! :D
The puppies are eating much diluted canned puppy food. They come running when I put the pie plate down. They make a circle around the whole rim.
Adore My Dogs, the shaggy white dog is Scruffy. He only weighs about 23 lbs, so I'm not sure he's a bearded collie. He had one rear leg removed last March, but it sure hasn't slowed him down. He has a bearded's sense of humor and playfulness. He's not interested in the puppies--I think he's afraid he'll hurt them.
The big black chow mix is Bella. She's been venturing close enough to the pups to smell them. Chiquita lets her, but watches carefully. Bella had pups herself at one time, so I think she wants to mother them.
Chiquita isn't gaining much weight--still skinny as can be. Eats all the time though. Maybe when the kids are weaned, she'll put on a pound or two.
