i got a fatty!

[MeMe]

So I have a first time mom that had a litter of 10. 3 stillborn and 7 healthy. I fed off 3 of the 7 and now have 4 remaining. Mom is doing good and taking excellent care of them.

I was looking at her 4 babies yesterday and noticed that one of them is about twice the size of the others! I know she is only feeding 4 babies now so they are getting fed plenty of milk but gd this dude is big!

I have never had a litter that there was a pup that was this much bigger than the rest. Usually they are within a couple grams or so of each other.

Anywho...I thought I would share a few pics.

Here is the fatty with a sib.

These are a lil over a week.

I am afraid to pull anymore from that litter...his belly may explode if he gets to have even more milk! It already looks like it is going to!
