Week 1

More photos very soon! Sky had an uneventful labour (thankfully!) and gave birth to 1 girl and 3 boys, all sable and white, and 3 with proper white facial markings. So far so good, they have all gained a massive amount of weight in the last week, had their first nail clip (I like to start young with them, so that the quick stays nice and short, and they get used to having nails clipped) and they are even starting to get their own little personalities. In the next few days eyes and ears will open, then the fun begins!

Week 2

All babies are growing and putting on weight evenly, which is always important. At 10 days, eyes on the little girl started to open, the rest started the next day. By two weeks of age, all little ones can start to see the world! Not really a lot of photos at this point, it's dark inside and they are still very sedentary, much like the first week, just fatter!

Week 3

This is where things start to get interesting. They are starting to play and notice the world around them, though still unsure in new places, understandably. We start gently introducing them to the world around them, a little bit at a time. They had their first meal at three weeks of age, which to my surprised they wolfed down! Normally at this age the just push it around and sniff/step/faceplant in it, but this lot were totally ready for it.

Week 4

Much more playful at 4 weeks old, so I can start to get some proper pictures! They are a lovely bunch, all very friendly, and enjoying exploring the world outdoors! They've been introduced to all sorts of sounds and sights, today it was the lawnmower....they weren't sure at first, but quickly got accustomed.
