Puppy 'High' - yes it's possible

We weighed our little 'brood' this morning and some of these 'sweet little pups' have gained nearly a pound in five days!  How can this be??  All the information I have poured over said they can gain twice their birth weight in 7-10 days but, 5 days??  Holy Cow!  Actually they look more like little piglets than cows.  Their poor mother, Ruby, closely resembles the cow right now.  Poor girl, the birth experience isn't so pretty for female dogs either.  Although she has her sleek and gorgeous physique back - if you look at her from above her body.  This is her 'shapely' view.  All you have to do is merely glance at her from the side or rear end view and it looks like she has actual 'udders' hanging down.  It is not pretty.  The kids and I took her for a walk last night and as she ran around happily, Jorah asked if I could hear that horrible noise?  I could hear it, (unfortunately) and it was her milk sacs?  breasts?  They literally were smacking together in a sickening and painful way as she ran.  I tried to stop her from running just so I wouldn't have to listen to it, (selfish I know)  but she acted oblivious to the obvious - so I let her be.  Secretly I promised her that we'd never, ever do this to her again.  Of course this was said under duress as I had to listen to the hateful 'smacking' sound.  As soon as we were home and I had a puppy back in my lap, inhaling it's sweet perfume, I forgot all about that silly promise.  We are on a 'puppy high' right now.  Yes I actually do think that the combination of their smell; blinding cuteness; adorable sounds they make, and the feel of their warm silky sweetness, might actually be able to get us 'high'.  Certainly it has become addictive.  All you have to do is look around at all that ISN'T getting done at our house.  Pretty much EVERYTHING.  Except of course, playing with the puppies.  We have that chore all buttoned up.  Back to the issue of 'nursing obsession' - our puppies have it.  Their bellies are so full of moo that they literally look 'sloshy'.  Ruby just eats; drinks and nurses.  At this rate by the time they CAN walk, their bellies will possibly have them 'grounded' and unable to do anything but roll.  New photos are at the end of the blogs, just scroll down to view.  Remember they are actually puppies and not piglets, you'll be able to verify by looking at their tails  :)
