Ook tijd om de nageltjes te knippen. En voorzichtig gaan ook de oogjes open.
Also time to clip their nails. And slowly the eyes are showing

1 week !
Bijna overbodig om te zeggen dat het dus met moeder en kinderen erg goed gaat.
We willen bij deze ook iedereen bedanken voor de lieve kaartjes, mailtjes, telefoontjes en berichtjes in ons gastenboek. En hierbij natuurlijk ook nog wat foto'tjes van het stel in de puppykist.
The pups are 1 week old today! Time flies! They had an average weight of 210 grams (7.1 oz) when they were born, their average weight one week later is 460 gram (1.01 lbs)!! They more than doubled their weight! They are growing so fast you can practically see it when you are watching them. Needless to say mother and kids are doing great.
We would like to thank everyone for their sweet postcards, emails, telephonecalls and messages in our guestbook. And here are some more pics of the pups today.

PUPPIES!!
Met Bella en haar kinderen gaat het goed. Ze waren vanochtend allemaal goed aangekomen en Bella is een heel goed moedertje die ze goed verzorgd.
Mijn ouders en zus waren hier om de pupjes van Bella te bewonderen. Ze hadden ook nog een kraampakket meegebracht, wat bestond uit keukenrol (onze grootste vriend altijd in deze tijden :-) en snoepjes voor honden. Erg lief van ze.
Finally there they are, the 4 sons and daughter of Bella! She really kept us in suspense, because we were expecting the puppies either Wednesday or Thursday. But the puppies decided the early morning of Saturday was the right time to come out. Around 3 AM we noticed she was going into labor, at 4 AM the first pup was born. After the birth of 4 boys the last pup and only girl was born around 7:30 AM.
Bella and her kids are doing very well. They all gained some weighed his morning and Bella is wonderful mommy who takes really good care of them.
My parents and sister were here to see Bella's puppies. They brought a puppy shower gift for us and the dogs. It contained paper towels (our biggest friend when we have pups) and treats for the dogs. It was very sweet of them.

Week 9 Bella & Crumble @ the show!
WEEK 9
De meeste pups worden geboren tussen de 58e en 63e dag. Geboortes zijn altijd weer spannend en nooit hetzelfde. Het ene nest is er binnen een paar uur; het andere kan dagen (en/of nachten) van onrust en krabben (nest maken) betekenen.
The pregnancy of a dog
WEEK 9
Most puppies are born between the 58th and 63rd day. Every birth is different, special and exciting. One litter might be here in just a couple of hours; others can take days (and/or nights) of restless scratching (making a nest).
Dit is de laatste update van de zwangerschap van Bella. Het volgende bericht is hopelijk dat alle pups in goede gezondheid ter wereld zijn gekomen. Het is vandaag precies 63 dagen na de eerste dekking, maar omdat een teefje meestal meerdere malen wordt gedekt kan het zijn dat de bevruchting tijdens een latere dekking heeft plaats gevonden. Bella is drie keer gedekt, morgen en overmorgen kan mogelijk ook de 63ste dag zijn. De buik van Bella is inmiddels 62 cm in omvang. Alles is inmiddels in huis, we zijn er helemaal klaar voor. En zoals je op de foto kan zien, heeft Bella het ook wel gehad met die dikke buik!
This will the last update about Bella's pregnancy. Hopefully our next message will be that Bella has had her litter of healthy looking pups. Today is the 63rd day after the first mating, however most bitches are mated several time, so it could be she conceived at a later mating. Bella was mated 3 times, tomorrow or the day after might also be the 63rd day. Bella's belly is now 24.4 inch. We are all set to greet the puppies! And as you can see in the pictures, she too is ready to get rid of that big belly!
Nog ander leuk nieuws! Crumble is weer naar de show geweest! Ditmaal in Mouscron Belgie, ze werd 3de met een Veel Belovend. We zijn weer erg trots op haar en haar vrouwtje Maria. Gefeliciteerd meiden!!
And good news! Crumble went to another dogshow! This time in Mouscron Belgium. She was placed 3rd Very Promissing. We are very proud of her and her mommy Maria! Congratulations girls!
