NOVA & HER BABIES – 19 DAY UPDATE!
13 October 2026
Can you believe these gorgeous babies are officially 19 days old?! Just look how much they've grown!
Their tiny eyes are starting to open, they're finding their feet and beginning to toddle around. It's such a special stage to watch!
Sadly, we also have some heartbreaking news to share. Despite our very best efforts, we lost one of our precious bottle-fed puppies to fading puppy syndrome. We tried everything we could to give him a fighting chance, including reuniting him with Nova, but sadly, he passed away peacefully, snuggled under his mum's arm.
Following his passing, our little blue-collar boy has rejoined his littermates, bringing Nova's total to nine beautiful, growing puppies.
Through it all, Nova continues to be the most incredible mum. She's doing such a wonderful job caring for her babies, and we're continuing to keep a close eye on her mammary glands to make sure she's staying healthy and comfortable.
We'd also like to say a massive thank you to everyone who donated to Nova's Givealittle page! Thanks to your incredible kindness and generosity, we managed to raise enough funds to completely cover the cost of her emergency vet visit. We are so grateful to everyone who rallied behind this little family when they needed it most.
