6 Weeks Old

The puppies wake up early - usually around 5 AM. They love wrestling with each other, playing tug-o-war with toys, and exploring every inch of the back yard.

Puppies - 9 days old

Tori and the puppies are all doing well and each puppy has more than doubled its birth weight. We are about half-way through the "Early Neurological Stimulation" program, which has been shown to produce the following benefits in puppies:
1. Improved cardio vascular performance (heart rate)
2. Stronger heart beats,
3. Stronger adrenal glands,
4. More tolerance to stress, and
5. Greater resistance to disease.
For more information about this program, see Super Dog Program

Tori and Tabasco puppies are here!

Looks like Dr. Weaver was correct - Tori whelped a beautiful litter of 5 puppies on Wednesday evening (4 boys and 1 girl). Everyone is doing well.

Day 60


It is very easy to hear the puppies' heartbeats with a stethoscope now. This morning, while I was rubbing Tori's belly, I felt a definite puppy KICK! It's not uncommon to see Tori's abdomen bulge out unexpectedly for a moment as a puppy turns over or kicks out.

Tori's x-ray

Tori had her pre-whelp x-ray today, and the results were.......
inconclusive. The vet saw at least 5 skulls, but there could be as many as two more hidden in there. So, according to Dr. Weaver, Tori will have between 5 and 7 puppies.

I had my dear husband (the radiologist) look at the x-ray and he thinks there are a minimum of 6 puppies, and as many as 9! So, between the vet and my husband, we now think Tori will have between 5 and 9 puppies.

We will have to wait and see :-) !!!
