Update on Cinnamon

Pups are anywhere from 12 hours old to 7 hours old or thereabouts.
As of 1030am, all pups gained but 2 - the last 2 who are the youngest. The 2 are holding their own and I have not weighed them again and won't till tonight. Most puppies lose the first 24 to 48 hours. These pups are doing really well. No concerns. I don't worry when we have initial losses as it depends on how much the milk has let down. It is obvious she had hers before she had the pups. Not all moms do.
Cinnamon has eaten many, many bowls of food. Her pups are strong and squirm here and there.
I brushed out Cinnamon, washed her tummy and massaged her a bit. I wash the tummy to keep the area clean but a cool cloth cools her tummy down.
In a few days when colours have set in, I will do individual shots with more indepth descriptions. Such as one has a white blaze on its chest.
Mom and pups are doing really well. I slept for 2 hours and Nathan is back in bed. I am glad as I was exhausted. Dennis will sleep after the vet visit for Raven and he will do night duty.
Usually I have company online - a nurse friend in Utah but she is on holiday. She is out on a boat to Antarctica tonight and on a day trip today. Sherry also tried to stay up and fell asleep.
I hope Leti and Raven's whelping goes as smoothly and easily.

Doing the math, it looks like Cinnamon's and likely Leti's will be able to depart before Christmas but not Ravens who will go home during winter break or the night before - depends on when she is really due. Just putting that out as I know people need to plan.

They all seem like really good sized pups.
Yes, good size. Expect Leti and Raven's will be smaller at birth as it is the goldfish syndrome. They grow a much as they have space. I do not expect any to be tiny.
They look huge in the above photo..I know it’s an optical illusion! Lol.
yeah, they are not huge - just good size
They are all so beautiful and healthy looking! Well done Cinnamon!
OMG what beautiful pups. Aren't you proud of Cinnamon. I am sure you are all exhausted. Lucky families. It always brings me back to when we watched Rusty for 10 weeks. So very exciting. The Talemaker pups are the best ever. Big hug to Cinnamon.
Congratulations! Cinnamon’s puppies are gorgeous!
Congratulations everyone in he beautiful and healthy babies
