3 Weeks 1 Day Old: 1st Nails Cut
Sunday, September 20, 2026 at 11:21AM Rain just had a bath this morning while the pups were sleeping. Usually I can't do it yet as the pups don't sleep this long but they are now sleeping 2 hours and sometimes more. Their bellies are full which allows the sleep. If they are eating every hour, they are expelling energy which slows down weight gain and increases fussiness. Rain is lucky as they have been solid sleepers from the start and she has enough milk to allow them the needed rest.
Pups are playing. They are curious and by the day they are walking better and better. One even attempted running. They need their nails clipped and I will video that when it happens.
It did happen today and it is found in the gallery and the video is uploading now.
Next milestones is out of the whelping box. Trying eating and water. It will come in less than a week. It seems to happen so fast and it happens so slow depending how you look at it.
Here are the videos. Be sure to check out the short videos and the longer ones. There are 2 links but that is how YouTube sets it up.
