Day 11

We hit 3 pounds today.  At least yellow and blue did.  They are both 3lb 2oz.  Red is 2lb 15oz, one ounce away from the 3 pound mark.  Pink and purple are 2lb 13oz.  Blue's rickrack keeps coming off.  I think he is a free spirit.  Likes feeling the wind through his fur. 
Rylee is starting to leave the box now for little periods of time.  We have a dog bed for her right outside the box and she likes to lay there and then come in when they indicate it is feeding or cleaning time.
Her appetite is in full swing now, at 6 cups a day.  She definitely needs the fuel to keep these babies full.  She was fussy about eating for a little while after the puppies were born and I made her chicken and ground beef and noodles and even then she wouldn't always eat everything.  I tried so many variations of food.  But I wouldn't feel much like eating either if I had just been in labor for 14 hours, pushed out five one pound babies, and eaten some unmentionables.  I'm just glad she is putting the chow away :) She has been great at taking care of the babes.  They are well fed, warm, healthy, and active. 
They are all eating as I type this and I love the noises they make.  The grunts, the smacking ... too cute :)
The video is from this evening.  Rylee definitely keeps her pups clean :) Blue is being groomed (while lacking his clothing) while the rest chill out.
