Week 1





Nick is growing like a weed and is advancing much faster than my pups from larger litters. He is 2 pounds at 7 days old and is already walking! He is not graceful but pulls himself up on all 4 feet and totters around. He can climb into his bumper bed quite easily and is starting to play, growl, and bark at his 'littermates' ( stuffed lamb and blue lion). He will be a good tracker as he quickly sniffs out any spot of milk that has dripped anywhere in the whelping box. Katsuk is a wonderful mom and is keeping him very clean and very, very well fed! He is going to be an exciting puppy to raise- I need to take advantage of these first couple easy weeks, when Katsuk does most of the work. He is going to be a handful to entertain once his eyes and ears are open.

crawling is for wimps- Nick prefers to walk around

Nap time is important to grow big and strong
