Seems like when it rains, it pours....The weather too!!
Here is yesterday's post, a day late!!
Day 5: April 8, 9:30 pm
Weights/ENS "scale"
#1 - 13.5 oz / 2
#2 - 1 lb 2 oz / 3
#3 - 1 lb 5 oz / 5
#4 - 1 lb 1 oz / 2
#5 - 1 lb / 2
#6 - 1 lb 1 oz / 2
And, because I don't believe in keeping secrets...There is a problem with puppy #4. His ear is underdeveloped. We don't know what this means, if he will be normal not or what we will do about it. He is too young to really assess the situation. My vet says, if he's thriving to not do anything drastic just yet. Positive thoughts to #4 please!
Here's a pic of Puppy #4's right ear...It appears to either be "tucked under the skin" and / or not fully developed. We don't yet know if he is affected neurologically or if his balance will be affected. We are waiting and hoping that he can live a normal, happy life in an active pet home!

Good thoughts coming his way. But I'm sure this will end up being that it's just tucked away or the ear flap is fused...time will tell.
Regardless kudos to you for not trying to hide this as so many breeders I'm sure would try to do. The first problem in any of your breedings and you are being open.
One of the many reasons I respct you so much and am so glad to be getting a puppy from you!!
Awww shucks, but No, I'm not perfect - far from it!!! Pat had a puppy die in each of her litters - one just faded and by day 3 was gone...The other was still born (huge 1 lb pup, delayed labor due to major noise and commotion in our home at the time - we were beginning renovations and I had to actaully kick all the workers out).
