Dixie Pie's Puppies Are Doing Fine!

Dixie Pie's puppies that were born five days ago are doing just fine.  The three female pups are gaining weight.  Farrah is the largest and as you can see, she uses her sisters as pillows.  Kate is the one on the bottom in this picture and Jaclyn is curled up in the back.  Nursing times are every three hours now.  They all seem to be healthy -- no sneezing or coughing.  Two are so tiny and so cute!  I find myself counting toes (just checking...)

Pink noses are healthy.  That means their blood has lots of oxygen.  By the time they are 8 weeks old, their noses and lips will have turned black.  That's a sign of bulldog purity.  The grandmother (Sweet Tater Pie) is from championship lines in Tupelo and their father (Jazzman) is from the famous Dingman's Badger line.
