Then they realized that it WAS too early and now they keep them until they are 8 weeks. But as always, they did have the best of intentions.JuliaRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795348297295716491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10435020.post-35811847080788495362007-09-20T09:51:00.000-04:002007-09-20T09:51:00.000-04:00Julia,Would you believe that now, just three days ...Julia,<BR/><BR/>Would you believe that now, just three days later, they're all over SIX pounds except Miss White and Miss Black??? Wow!<BR/><BR/>You got Uma at six weeks! Wow, that's such a tender age!<BR/><BR/>We won't release the pups until their eight weeks old (state law here requires 7 weeks old, but we like the extra week for Mom to teach them canine manners!). How precious Uma must've been, and how attached she must have become to you! I'm sure you miss her.<BR/><BR/>Even at eight weeks, I expect the puppies will be only 12 - 15 pounds by then.<BR/><BR/>But that's two to three times their size now. Wow!Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11943353229902457055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10435020.post-1189134138882472522007-09-17T11:14:00.000-04:002007-09-17T11:14:00.000-04:00Five pounds!

When we got Uma at the tender age of 6 weeks, she already weighed in at ten pounds!JuliaRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795348297295716491noreply@blogger.com
