Meet Contralto's Chorus - Written by Their Foster Mom

Contralto’s babies all have names!

Hymn - boy - born 2:40 pm - 5 1/8 oz

Dixieland - girl - born 3 pm - 5 3/8 oz

Gospel - boy - born 4 pm - 4 7/8 oz

Jazz - boy - born 5 pm - 4 3/4 oz

Lullaby - girl - born 5:10 pm - 4 3/4 oz

The puppies are getting a little stronger, even the first boy that was in the most trouble. I keep watch to make sure everyone is getting up to Mom and nursing. They have not gained a lot, but are gaining. Connie is an easy going Mom and has been leaving the whelp box already when not nursing. I think it may be due in part to the heat making her uncomfortable with her skin the way it is. She is a bit of a picky eater, but eats well when it is to her liking. :)
