Two weeks old today! In some respects, it seems like they’ve been here forever and in others, like they arrived yesterday! As you’ll see in the gallery, all eyes are open and we expect them to have open ears soon! Mom is continuing to do a great job…all the pups have doubled their birth weight, becoming strong little piglets!
12.13.24.
The puppies are one week old today! Although their eyes and hears are still closed and they are totally dependent on Mom, we are already seeing changes such as more mobility, eyes that are not tightly squeezed shut, the ability to let mom take a break from the whelping, and stronger nursing skills.

Dottie whelped 5 beautiful puppies this afternoon…3 girls and 2 boys! Please welcome our Great Folksingers of the 60’s: Arlo (Guthrie), Leonard (Cohen), Linda (Rondstadt), Carole (King), and Joan (Baez)!
12.5.24.
We are currently enjoying lots of Dottie snuggles as she slows down and readies herself for the whelping process. She’s getting extra treats and smaller but more frequent meals.
SCENES FROM WEEK 2
Arlo’s eyes seem more open than the others, but it’s only because they contrast beautifully with his white fur!
Little Joan was the last one to open her eyes so they still appear as tiny slits!

The puppies are getting a lot of cuddles and handling by immediate family members.
