Bolts is estimated to be 49 days old today, his weight today is 14.1 pounds. The last several days weights were questionable due to a scale issue, and with the thanks of Wolf Care donations, we bought a new electronic vet scale that will give reliable weights. From this point forward, we feel far more confident in a reliable weight that is so critical during this stage in life. Bolts has grown legs and ears. At this point, the long gangly legs and large joints can cause some discomfort. In past litters, by the time the pups have reached this stage of development, we would have had warmer temperatures and they would be spending a lot of time outdoors, climbing on stumps, logs and rocks. With this early litter, the springtime temperatures are a bit too chilly for the pups, so they get a little stiff inside. In the last two days, the pups have had some good outside time and we noticed some significant improvement in stability and mobility in Bolts.
