It's been a very long week, but we've made it! The puppies are now one week old, and have a very good chance of surviving. They are all getting bigger and stronger all the time, with nearly everyone over a pound in weight, which would be a normal birthweight.
Everyone out for a bedding change and a feeding.
Everyone's on bottles now as Renee is still at the clinic. However, she's doing really well there, and might be able to come home tonight.

I want to thank everyone for their support and encouragement throughout this week. We will still have our hands full for a while with eight hungry puppies, but things are looking up. I am looking around to see if we can find a foster mommy for these guys as Renee has been through so much with the surgeries that I think it would be too hard on her to reintroduce the puppies at this stage. Her milk wouldn't be safe for them anyway due to the medications that she required. But we are just thankful that she's recovering well, and will be home soon.
Full tummies and snuggled in their basket. I think I will need a bigger basket soon!
And for those who'd really like to see these squirmy rascals go, I even got a bit of video today. It's not great quality, but I hope that you all enjoy :) It's a link as it wouldn't upload here for some reason...
