1 week weights

First of all, the poll result: the heaviest by a mile - or perhaps only a half a kilometer or so - at the weigh-in on Sunday was Toes at a whopping 760 grams.  From now on, we are calling her Big Toes! I must say I was surprised she beat Brownie, who looks like a stonking big boy, but the real surprise was Hopea who was second-smallest at birth and, at 746 grams, was second-heaviest at 1 week. 

The graphs and tables I like to produce will follow, but first, for those of you less enamoured of coloured lines on a grid, here is a cute video taken this morning.  How big these puppies are looking now!  And don't miss Claw up on his feet staggering around.  He wasn't the first to start walking though, that was Brownie.



And so to the comparative weight info.  Does this stuff matter at this point?  Not really, no.  I keep a close eye on the puppies' weight just to be sure they are developing as they should and that no one gets left behind.  Apart from that, the numbers don't have much meaning.  But I just like to compare and watch trends.

First, the numbers (click the images for a bigger size that's easier to read):










Then the comparison puppy-to-puppy throughout the first week:

And, finally, the average weight of the litter compared to previous litters.  Those of you who are new to the blog should be aware that the Tuisku litter (shown in yellow) had one enormous puppy whose weight skewed the averages slightly upwards.  Said enormous puppy is a lovely normal-sized boy now.
