Yesterday's weights were 1 lb 14.8 oz for Yin and 2 lb 2.1 oz for Yang. So he is a good bit heavier than she is, though she is still "rounder." Yin is starting to look somewhat less like a chubby bear cub though. Yang is still a handsome devil, with legs under him and looking fairly nicely proportioned for a baby.
For all of my curiosity about his color early on, he now just looks tan or buff colored. I think the grayish/blue shade before was caused by the black overlay on his tam coat. Much like Yin has a dark overlay on her red.
Their interest in cereal is still minimal. I offer it to them several times a day. They lap at the saucer a few times, then wander away or lunge through the plate of gruel. Then Fada gets in to finish it. When she is eating, they actually like to "help" her by going back and trying it again. Then, of course, Fada cleans them off and they nurse.
Depending on how the eating thing goes this week, I expect to start having to ACTUALLY clean out the pen, instead of changing blankets every few days. Most canine Mommas pretty much quit with the clean up duties once the puppies are eating solid food. Of course, Steph's wedding is this week so what with offering food every few hours through the day and expected cleaning, it should be an interesting week!
