Puppy dreams
Puppy foot! Notice that the yellows are born
without pigment in their feet. After a few days I'll show you how
their coloration begins to darken to grey, then finally to black!
Dottie catching some zzzzzzzz's
Day 2
Dottie taking care of the babes
Notice the pigment is starting to come in on this
yellow pup.
Notice how the nose looks light brown/grey as does the
inside of the ears? You guessed it! The pigment is coming in
in those places as well.
The yellows were born with pigment already showing on
the inside of their ears.
Day 6
Yellows sure are easier to see than blacks!
Just precious.
Several black ups. Notice the ear to the left
side of the picture. Puppies are born with their ears shut.
Puppies at birth can smell but they cannot see or hear. The eyes
will open next, then the ears will open.
Blue is too pooped to party!
The whelping room!
