Little eyes start to open

Today is 9-30-14.  The pups eyes started to open yesterday.  They all had tiny openings in the morning and by evening most were open pretty big...all but Big White.  Hers opened a little just today.

I cut their toenails today for the first time.  They "knead" her udder when they are nursing and their little nails are like needles!  I know it can't be comfortable and also they rake each other in the face...with new eyes open I surely don't want one scratched now.

Salty is doing better.  She still wants to be babied, being watered with a big syringe each time, even through the night.  I have got her to drink out of a bowl twice this week.  Pups are really fattening and with that is much more poo and lots of pee!  Towels in their pool to be changed real frequently so they don't make a mess.  Salty cleans them some but now they just pee when they feel like it and the towels get kind damp after a few hours.  They used to just wait for her licking but now its a free-for-all.  :\

She now spends more time just sleeping in the doorway instead of with the pups all the time...and they are content to sleep more and more too, starting to lay upside down---they are so cute and look like little walruses!
