Blossom's Babies

Finally I managed SOME pictures of the pups.  They are doing fine.  Blossom is always watching over them like a Hawk.  She is a great mum, very responsible.  The sligtest sound the pups make, she will check on them.  For the past 48 hours or so, I only got about 8 hours sleep in total on two seperate days, 2 hours on first day and 6 hours on the second day.  Hopefully by tomorrow I can get more sleep.  But I am feeling not too bad.

As usual, sable and white pups are born quite dark, and they change as they grow.  Even their nose is pink in colour!  That will get darker in a few weeks time.   At 2 years old, sometimes their colour is still changing a little.  To know what your sheltie's final and actual colour is, wait till it is 2 - 3 years old.  They are unique and not like other dogs where their colours are pretty straight forward.

Here are the pups at just a few hours old.  I will try and get more pictures soon.  Cant wait till they start walking.  Its so cute to watch....
