Dachshund mom fusses over her 11-day-old pups

LouLou the dachshund has six puppies, eleven days old, and they sleep the way puppies do, in one warm heap. Their mother has work to do. more

The LouLou & Friends channel usually films her ordinary days, a walk, a treat, a nap in her own room. Then came the news that she was expecting, and her fans got to follow the whole pregnancy and then the birth.

Their eyes are still shut. They sleep stacked on top of one another, packed so tight it is hard to see how the ones underneath can breathe. Their coats already shine, and to one fan the heap looks like a pile of tiny sea lions.

LouLou checks on them and gets to work. She nurses one pup while she washes another, and any little tail end that flips over gets cleaned on the spot. There are small puppy noises, and the moment one of them whines, she's there.

Through all of it she wears a stern, serious face, with a bit of side eye to spare. Six puppies is a lot of puppies. She looks like she has it handled.

The pups, meanwhile, do what eleven-day-olds do. They eat, they sleep, and they get called cute for it. As one fan points out, the rest of us try that and get called lazy.
