The day after Christmas...



Although it may look like Madison has seen better hair days, if you were in a whelping box with a baby caring for her and cleaning her 24/7 you might look like this too.... It's not true, this is "bead head". Madison gets out regularly to run through the snow and the house playing as much as she will allow herself. Madison is a dedicated mother and after a short romp around the house she wants right back in with her puppy. As you can see here she keeps a very close eye on her little one.

Madison's puppy is doing very well. She has gained 3oz in the last three days so she is starting to catch up now. Gracie is a real fighter when it comes to feeding time. I have discovered she really enjoys goat's milk mixed in with her esbelac (nutritional supplement) and it shows in her weight gaining. She is also a real mover around the box crawling quite rapidly from one side to another for a little extra exercise. Keep up the great work Gracie!!
