It is always amazing watching the babies develop and grow!  Over the past 2 days, the puppies have figured out how to lift themselves up onto their legs and actually walk rather than crawl.  Now is when things get fun!  They will start to interact more and play and investigate their whole world.  The cutest thing on earth is watching babies play fight in slow motion as they learn how to co-ordinate their movements.

A picture is worth a thousand words.  Poor Chai (on the left) can't seem to figure out what to do to prevent her brood from being stolen, so for now, it is "access denied" for Molly.  If she is even allowed in the kitchen for a minute, she is in the nursery.  What a brat!  In Molly's mind, they are HER babies and she needs to take care of them. 

Wow....the puppies are growing like crazy!  They have been doubling their weight about every 4 days.  They currently weigh about 2 lbs each now!  They are able to see and are starting to explore and investigate their world.  Chai came into heat on schedule, but Molly was not due to come in for another two months.  Well, hormones can change that and Molly came in early, but she did not get pregnant and boy, she was not happy about that.  She wants to steal Chai's babies!  At every opportunity, she is crawling into Chai's nursery.  We have had to kick Molly out of the kitchen so Chai can relax!  Molly is even developing milk in her efforts to be a mom again!

Heidi did amazing in her first weekend showing.  Her owners have worked with her so much!  She is just a beautiful pup and she seemed to enjoy herself and the show atmosphere.  All of those treats dont hurt either! 

She got her first point on the first day of showing so is off to a good start!  Pictures to come soon of Heidi strutting her stuff in the ring!

All four babies are doing great and have nearly doubled in size.  Chai is giving them incredibly good care and her attention is helping them to just thrive!  Eyes will be opening in a few more days! 

Chai gave birth to four very gorgeous babies on Fri night.  The entire ordeal took just 1.5 hours and despite the babies being quite large, she did not need any help with delivery.  I was not expecting this little bunch until closer to the 19th, but they had other ideas in mind.  We have two sweet little girls and two handsome little gentlemen in the litter.  Chai is just a fantastic and doting mummy for her new crew.
