“Sockes” puppies 2 weeks old

Today, two weeks ago, the puppies of “Socke” and Herci where born. All are satisfied, round and healthy. The weights have trippled and with 2 weeks they will have their first wormcure. During the day, every 3 to 4 hours, when Socke nurses her puppies, there is a bottle with Esbilac puppymilk, so that all puppies can drink at the same time. Socke only has 8 nipples and with 10 puppies, always 2 are complaining because they have nothing to drink. Ofcourse, the 3 heaviest puppies are shuffing the smallest ones byside. But this is where we come in to help by giving the biggest ones a bottle, so the smallest ones can drink. As you can see on the pictures, there are “slit-eyes”, meaning that the eyes slowly start to open up. I am curious to see the colour. I mean if they alle have brown eyes. Socke is eating and drinking alot, which is normal seen the amount of milk she has to produce. Yesterday I had to brush her once more, because of the tangles she produces when laying for so long, that you can hardly get out.
