This is how happy Molly is right now!
After getting a good 24hrs rest, she got up this morning and got onto Lisa's lap in the lounge for her regular morning cuddle time.
Since yesterday afternoon, Molly is drinking a lot and has been hungry. Very healthy appetite!
Yesterday and overnight, the puppies either put on or lost very small amounts of weight. One of them cried quite a bit overnight. The signs indicate that Molly's milk has taken a little time to fully come in over the first 24hrs and that one of the puppies, now named Tipsy, is taking a little more time than the other two to work out how to find Mum and her teats.
I've noticed it can take up to 3 days for new puppies to become proficient in knowing the shape of Mums body and finding those teats. Yesterday, one of them was found sucking on one of her toes.
Lisa and her household are really enjoying the magic and love, having these precious new little beings arrive and watching their beloved Molly being such a good Mum to them. And she's still her gorgeous, loving self.
Blessed.
