Day 7

The puppies' first week has breezed right by! The little guy, who's waiting on a name, is now over a pound and his sister, Kila (Key-luh) is pushing two pounds. She is a porker! The pups are doing fantastic and so is their mom!

Kila's name is officially Channahon's Kilakota Song and she is destined to join Carie Taylor and the Moonsong Chinooks pack in Washington state.

The little guy (who isn't so little anymore) is destined to join Tom and Cheryl Brown and the Aspencreek Chinooks pack in Washington state.

Well, the puppies did great their first day and night. They have both gained a little bit of weight (.5oz to 1.5oz) and are nursing and resting consistently. Jade is being a wonderful mommy, very attentive to her babies. She's eating, drinking and resting and seldom leaves the puppy box. The pups have already met around ten people and Jade has been great with all the visitors - even the few teenage boys that were sleeping over - that got to witness the first birth.

Now that we have a small litter for the first time, I'm planning to come up with temporary names for the pups. Since they look different and are different genders, we're doing away with the hassle of puppy collars this time.
