This is SOOOO Elvis behavior... He's still just so 'full' of himself... He's got the entire doggie bed and asleep, while Sugar's asleep half standing up and half resting against the doggie bed!

Ginger's puppers...
My scale shows the puppers as:
Sugar - 3 pounds
Honey - 2 lbs, 8 ounces
Cinnamon - 1 pound, 14 ounces
All three puppies now have home visits that have passed and approved adoption applications. They should be spayed this week (unless Cinnamon's weight prohibits her from being spayed) and onto their great furever homes!
Ginger's milk sacks are still too large for her to be spayed, so that should happen next week.

Ginger's pups...
Ginger's three pups have distinctly different personalities as well as appearances...
Sugar is the largest and has the shortest hair length so far... She's the one who is first to investigate a new toy, leave her mark on the pitty pad, etc... When sleeping, she sorta/kinda plops into the puppy dog pile and really doesn't care who she is stepping or laying upon!
Honey is the middle of the road in all aspects... She's a massive fluff ball, but the hair is soft and just not as curly as Cinnamon's is... Honey prefers to watch and allow Sugar to investigate something new before she moseys over herself... She's just an easy going personality...
Cinnamon is the smallest in the litter and what I'd call a 'woosey baby'... Cinnamon will sit in the middle of the puppy pen and cry for no reason! :) On occasion however, Sugar is a bit dominant and I have to fuss at all three of them...
All three are using the pitty pad now, I still am supplementing the twice a day feeding by Ginger with puppy formula and goats' milk, in addition to chicken, rice & veggies and kibble wetted down... So far, so good... All are gaining weight and now sleeping through the night!

Ginger and her pups - UPDATE
Let's start off with Ginger first... Ginger had an anal gland abscess that burst while at the shelter... They shaved her butt, but didn't treat... We took her to the vet's office immediately and got it treated (or as much as could be done now, versus what could have been done then)...
Accordingly, Ginger (or Gingerbread as I've been calling her) has -- or will have -- a 'rippled butt' with the scaring once it all heals... This will require monthly trips to the groomers if you don't (or aren't willing to) express the anal glands and trim the hairs around her rear end... Many long-haired dogs have this occur if the owners don't stay on top of it - it comes with the territory for the awesome coats hide it pretty well...
Our vet believes Ginger is 3-4 years old... And she is 8 pounds, 10 ounces right now... She's almost completely weaned her litter already, feeding them only twice a day...
Now for the pups... Our vet believes they are 5-6 weeks but to be safe, we're going with the 5 week mark... So they won't be 8 weeks until July 20th, then need to be spayed before they can be adopted... I'm posting new photos of them in each of the blogs today!
