Pixie's Puppies 19 DEC 2005
One week old! Hooray!!
Pixie's pups are one week old. They have started their stress exercises and are getting weighed every day. They are so gorgeous! I am a bit biased, but I really think they are just beautiful!
Mom and pups totally bonded and happy.
Here is a growth chart for the pups. They are gaining weight just as they ought.
