Update ~ all is well, puppies thriving, all cuddling each other to sleep, haven't opened their eyes yet, and proud Mum constantly washing them, they are whiter than white, apart from their brown mischief spots.

There is a lot to be said for being part of a group, and the support and friendship that is gained from this.

Thank you for your help B, I will try this soon, just a little busy at the mo
Update ~ puppies and Mum doing just fine, they all opened their eyes a week ago, their legs started to get stronger and they are all walking, looking like they had been drinking, lots of stumbling first steps, and they were falling over and doing roly-polys, introduced puppy milk and weetabix yesterday, which they absolutely love, this gives Mum a break from nursing, which she deserves by now, and I have cut their, extremely sharp, paw nails, poor Mum was getting scratched.
Mum sounds like a star, 11 puppies?? I hope Mr J has been helping mum during the night?
Trisha
yes Trisha, she really is a star, such a caring and attentive Mum.
Mr J is not losing his much needed beauty sleep, tucks them all up at about 9pm and Mum takes over the night duties
Update ~ well, I have started potty training, no kidding, I thought I would give puppy piddle pads a try, and a lot of the puppies have got the hang of the pad straight away, which is very handy as we are getting through an awful lot of towels in the puppy box.
Oh Jazzy - I have been away and from waiting in anticipation to what are now, quickly growing puppies!!!! Good job there are no photo's yet as I would be extremely broody!!!!
Jazzy, puppies are really hard work. The puppy pads are really good idea, we put them under the sheet on our granddaughters bed. We haven't had an accident yet so, hopefully, they will absorb everything it we do.

Puppies are growing so quickly, their ears suddenly had a growth spurt and now resemble Spaniel ears only smaller, they are now eating us out of house and home, chicken and rice seems popular, lots of puppy milk to make up too as Mum can't keep up with demand, but she is still giving a bit of comfort feeding for the puppies, OH has made an outdoor run and they like to run around and tumble and scrap together, they have a kennel in the run to sleep in and when they need a nap they all cram into it.
Photos ~ really sorry I still haven't put any on, but always the way, I have a techy problem with my computer at the moment which is stopping me from doing them, so please bear with me
All is well and you are right Sunny, it is like 101 dalmations, especially if they escape, so hard to catch them, all have lots of freckles on their faces and more mischief spots appearing on their bodies, they have been for their six week jabs, microchip and medical, veterinary was very complimentary, saying how clean and fit they all are, we are not looking forward to parting with them, hard work, OH is non stop preparing the next meal or puppy milk for them
Thought I would give you an update ~ Four puppies have found lovely new homes, just what we wanted to happen, it's hard to say goodbye, but brace myself and smile and send them on their way with a kiss and cuddle, they do love cuddles and are small enough to nestle in my arm, all quite happy to play, eat lots of food and sleep, and love running freely around the garden, they have all fallen in the pond, all excellent swimmers, OH has to be life guard if they can't scramble back out, keeping us very busy, we had to laugh, OH has been buying weetabix for their breakfast, but the offer ended on the giant packs so he bought a supermarket brand and they refused to eat it
