It is more common than not for puppies to lose weight their first day with their moms. But apparently Maxi has more than adequate milk (nice when there are only 6 puppies!) because everyone of them gained weight. Some more than others and I am encouraging the big weight gainers to use the less used nipples to get them into more production. As with humans, the more a nipple is stimulated the more it produces.

| Ooops how did this get here? My grandson Ben who came to see the new puppies. He's being protected by Lily and Willow |

| Maxi giving one of her pups a bath. Since puppies cannot control their "plumbing" yet, the mama will lick their bottoms to stimulate them to urinate and defecate. |

| Most of the puppies taking a nap. All except for the little black and white boy. The other boys are chocolate and white. And we have two black and white girls and one sable and white girl. |
