The pups are 10 days old today. Ransom had her stitches removed this morning and is healing very well. She's pretty much back to her normal self. The pups are all taking a couple steps now. Sol seems the most coordinated although they are all doing pretty well. Their eyes aren't open yet but I expect that to happen VERY soon. Not sure it's a good combination of them walking without eyes open yet but it is, what it is :) They do a lot of running into each other :) They haven't gotten out of the whelping box yet, well not totally anyway. Sol was hanging half out the other night but never got completely out. I suspect that as soon as they are able to see, they'll be making a bee line to the exit. That's what Shock did! They are all getting so big, I can't believe it. Here are their weights as of a little while ago:
Atlas 31 1/4 oz
Sol 24 1/8 oz
Vega 30 oz
Polaris 29 oz
Sirrah 32 1/8 oz
I'll post some pictures later, I promise! Forgot to mention that they have slept through the night the last two nights. SEVEN hours straight. Good puppies :)

Good to hear that Ransom is back to herself. It is hard to be a mom...so that is great news.
So, Sirrah is now bigger that Atlas and Vega is pulling ahead a bit on Polaris. Interesting...fun to see how they develop.

Yeah, sirrah is now the biggest pup. She definitely doesn't miss a meal!
They certainly are growing fast.
Sounds like Sol will be the first one up and out of the whelping box.
Bet you are having so much fun just watching them.
