and most of them now have pigment on their eye rims, noses
and mouths.

The puppies all had their nails trimmed today....

.....they grow very quickly and if they are not trimmed
regularly, they can scratch Roxy's tummy, or one of their
siblings faces.
We
apologize for the lack of updates for the past week, we have
been extremely busy at home as the puppies caught a virus
which gave them all breathing difficulties and snotty noses.
They have been on a course of anti-biotics and are now back
in full health. Luckily they were not ill during this time
and they all continued to grow by 100 grammes + per day.
