My puppies continue to grow. We had a very good night and more of the same today.
I can leave the box a little more now, and they are always excited to see me back. My return gets them moving from one end of the box to the other.
Pack Leader was able to trim nails of two boys this afternoon --- he didn't use the same words he used with the first litter, so that is a good sign. Hopefully, the other two will get their nails done soon too --- the one downside of not making myself available 24/7 is that they are more aggressive nursers when I get back. This is an important part of their development --- getting them moving and training them to eat when they have the opportunity is an important part of a mother border collie's job.
I let Silken observe the puppies from an adequate distance today.
Editors note: Don't take everything Cait says literally. She might have been out of the box for 30 minutes so far today.
