Tuesday and all is well

We took the puppies and Sasha for the first trip to the vet yesterday. They slept all of the way!! The vet gave them all a thorough examination and was happy with all of them. Sasha was very well behaved and although she was a bit wary she made no attempt to eat the vet!!!
All of the puppies are now starting to get the tan colour coming through on their paws. One has Sashas black spot on his face too!!! I am sure they are all identical though. If it was not for the nail varnish to identify them I think I would be completely lost. Having said that, I appear to have more nail varnish over my clothes and hands than the puppies do!!
They are all gaining weight nicely anyway. The vet has warned though to keep an eye on them and if they are not gaining weight still in about two weeks time we may have to bottle feed!!!! Great, more sleepless nights. I am going to keep Sasha well fed and watered in the hope that she will keep feeding for as long as possible.
We now have five chicks, they are growing fast too. Peter is very impressed. Josh also likes the name for the black one, Brutus. He is so called as whenever he is left with the others he is a big bully and tries to pull their feathers out. He has been sent to Coventry!!!
Take care all and more news soon.
