Satori's brand new litter started out very tiny! The smallest pup weighed only 5.5 ounces, which means Tori and I have a lot of work ahead of us fattening them up and helping them grow. The pups nurse round-the-clock at least every 2.5 hours when they are just born. We are getting up several times a night to remove them from their heated box (where they are kept until they are strong enough) and give them to their mama to nurse and clean. Luckily, all of them are very good eaters (this likely comes down from their daddy Topper!), and are enthusiastic about "chocolate" mama's milk!
