Can It Be True?
Last week, Karalee and Chuck tried sexing the babies but concluded that it was too early. The source of their uncertainty? It appeared that six of the babies are girls, with only one boy in the litter.
Friday night, they tried sexing them again and came to the same conclusion. Is it really possible that Lucy had six girls? Karalee and Chuck will take another look next weekend just to make sure.
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to visit with Lucy and the babies. Lucy looks fabulous! She has recovered fully from her spay and feels terrific, even though she's still a bit wobbly. Falling doesn't bother her in the least. Truly an indomitable spirit.
The babies are now seven weeks old and have grown a lot since I last saw them. They now weigh somewhere in the 1 1/2 to 2 pound range. And yes, they are still impossibly cute!
They are also getting to the age that some of them are starting to squabble. White Bunny continues to insist on things going her way. She is the biggest of the babies, opinionated, and smart. The person who adopts her is going to have a lot of fun with this girl! She is now living with one of the checkered babies who is less pushy.
A second pair includes one of the gray girls who has the most amazingly delicate ears. This girl likes having some privacy, which is tough to have in a group of seven! She, too, is living with a sibling.
In the next few weeks, some of the babies will go off to their foster homes, awaiting adoption. The remainder will stay with Karalee. It has been great fun watching them grow up. Our hope, now, is that their forever homes will come soon.
