Wow, it is hard to believe that Lexie's babies are 2 weeks old already. Lexie continues to be the best Mom ever. She takes care of all of her babies, except I change the bedding in the whelping pen once or twice a day. I also feed Lexie a few extra meals that are high in calcuim and give Lex that extra energy that she needs so desperately.

I weigh each of the babies each night and am so proud of the gains that all the babies have made:

birth order color sex birth weight 2 week weight
#1 pink girl 6.2 oz 15.2 oz
#2 blue boy 4.9 oz 9.3 oz
#3 red girl 4.1 oz 9.9 oz
#4 green boy 4.6 oz 12.2 oz
#5 purple boy 5.1 oz 11.5 oz
#6 orange girl 4.2 oz 11.6 oz
#7 yellow girls 4.6 oz 13.4 oz

Yesterday I got a new pair of clippers and Lexie got a very short hair cut. She looks adorable, and it makes it so much easier to keep her neat and clean while she takes care of and nurses 7 babies. I also did the other two adult dogs, just because I loved the cut on Lex and it is the summer in Florida.
Again, thanks to all of you for all of your support during this whole ordeal. The puppies are the joy of our lives and I can't get enough kisses and puppy breath.
I have attached pictures. The first one is of the whole gang nursing..bless you Lexie!! The second picture is of the pink and red girls, third of the yellow and orange girls, and the last one of the three boys. I am sorry for the quality of the pictures..I really do need to take a class in photoraphy!!
