Rose is a mother ...............

Feeding time in whelping box.


Despite puppies being blind and deaf their acute sense of smell helps them find their way to a nipple. Sometimes need some help to latch on but once their latched sucking begins.













All puppies in act of massaging with their little paws helping to stimulate milk flow through the nipples.


























The puppies are in constant motions not only with their little paws but whole body movement from the head to the tip of the tails. I have watched the tails straighten, curl up and curl down as they nurse.
