There are no puppies available from this litter
|
These puppies were born in the midst of the 2020 Presidential Election so we're calling them the Presidential Puppies. All puppies in this litter will have a registered name that includes the name of a President or First Lady.

2 Week Puppy Update
Yeah!.. Our youngest litter, the Presidential Puppies, have passed the two week threshold and are all thriving. Puppies are very vulnerable during their first two weeks of life but we can relax a bit after they're two weeks old. These puppies were two weeks old on November 5th.
Three of the boys are very close to being up and walking on all 4 paws except for Little Lincoln. He leads the pack in mastering walking and is already up and moving. |

UH -OH!.... this isn't going to work!
|
We've improvised using a kitchen scale for the puppies because our puppy scale is being used downstairs for the Leaf Peeper puppies. Clearly, this isn't going to work much longer. Puppies are quickly outgrowing the scale. They weigh about 3-1/2 pounds now except for little Lincoln who is about 2-1/2 pounds. He was smaller at birth but will catch up to the pack quickly when the puppies start eating puppy food.

1 Week Puppy Update
The Presidential Puppies were 1 week old on November 12th. They are all thriving and have almost doubled their birth weight. The Sparrow is so proud of her babies and is happy to share them with everyone.

Connect the Dots!
All of these puppies have cute little dots on their heads, but that is going to change as they grow and the white on their heads minimizes. I'm guessing that only one puppy will end up with a dot on his head. We shall see!
Supplemental Feeding
|
The Sparrow doesn't yet have enough milk to keep the puppies satisfied so we supplement their nursing with bottle feeding a puppy formula every two hours. Puppies don't take to bottle feeding readily but they're getting better.

The Presidential Puppies Have Arrived!
The Presidential Puppies were born on November 5, 2020; 4 healthy, vigorous little boys, weighing between 13-18 ounces.
Newborn puppies must nurse every two hours round the clock. Since we also have another litter of puppies who are just one week old, we're very thankful that our youngest grandson, JT, is helping us by taking over puppy duties for 8 hours at a time so we can get some sleep. Thank God for Grandchildren!
