Chapter Two: Getting Started

The day after delivery, Rayne felt much better. She stayed close to her babies and thought "These are the most beautiful babies in the world", just as any mom thinks about their children.
The sun was shining, and it was a beautiful summer day. Rayne dreamt of laying outside in the cool grass, sunning herself in the warm rays, chasing chipmunks, and playing with toys. But her place was right here, with her newborns.
She only went outside to relieve herself, then rushed back and counted her babies. Her nose touched each of her precious bundles: one, two three, they are all here and accounted for.

The threesome

Rayne has more than enough milk to feed her pups, and they are growing leaps and bounds. The babies take turns between sleeping and eating, sleeping and eating. They are a quiet bunch, Rayne keeps them well fed, spotlessly clean and warm. The babies were weighed again at 11 days and Rumble tips the scale at 3 lb 2 oz. Miss Sunny is second at 2 lb 9 oz and Summer is 2 lbs 3 oz.

The next several days, Rayne was the perfect mom. She was never far from her little ones, laying just outside the pen. They growl in the sleep and dream, their little feet twitching and moving.

Now when Rayne goes into the pen, one can hear the babies making squeaking and mini-barking noises. Their little noses snuffle as they scoot around hunting for their mama. They can not see yet, but soon their eyes will open and a whole new world will begin.

Rumble, one huge puppy!
