Follow the Litter - Cute Puppies & Cute Kittens

This page is dedicated to fans of puppies, kittens, and their moms! We feature a fostered dog litter or cat litter and watch them grow up through funny animal pictures and stories. Scroll down to view our latest litter on ‘Follow the Litter.’ Cute pics of moms and babies updated three times a week! You can also ‘Follow the Litter’ on our Twitter page.

Update from Clementine’s fantastic foster family: The pups turned 3-weeks-old on Saturday, and are now wagging their tails, playing with each other and growling! So much has changed in the past week! We will have to take them out of their whelping box sometime soon since they will be able to climb out on their own before you know it.

Meet our brand new Follow the Litter mom! This is Clementine and she is going to be a new mommy soon. Clementine is staying with a volunteer foster family who will take great care of her and her babies. Clementine is due pretty soon so please keep checking back to see when her babies will arrive!

Clementine is in her pen, which is ready to receive her babies! Mom and babies need a safe place, away from the hub bub, to nurse and sleep. Clementine looks ready, don’t you think?

Momma is showing off her big belly! We wonder how many babies are waiting to be born.

“Oh, do I have to get up from my beauty nap now?” As any new mom knows, Clementine needs all the sleep she can get before her babies are born – because she won’t get much with newborns!

That’s Clementine’s foster-friend, Blossom! They are great pals and enjoy snuggling with one another at nap time.

Wee dog fits into wee spaces!

We’re happy to report that Clementine had three beautiful babies! Please meet the newest members of the ‘Helen Woodward Foster Family’: Raisin, Apple and Nanners! Can you guess who is whom?

Clementine’s first family photo with her puppies. She’s doing a great job nursing them and keeping them spotless-clean. On our next post, you’ll get to know the names and sexes of each puppy.

This is Apple! She is female and is a beautiful tan color. Notice that she has a white stripe down her nose.

Meet Apple’s sister, Nanners! She is almost identical to Apple. Look at those tiny black spots on her nose, that helps her foster family tell her apart from her sister.

Meet Raisin! He is male and is easy to tell apart from his sisters due his dark coloring. Look at those cute tan eyebrows! How tiny they all are!

Clementine is an attentive mom and ensures each puppy is ‘squeaky clean’ at all times.

Awwww! The kids are all asleep in a ‘puppy pile!’ Right now they don’t do a lot but nurse from mom and sleep. But stay tuned – these pups will grow quickly!

The foster family reported that the puppies just opened their eyes this week. Although it’s hard to tell when they’re always napping!

Yet another nap-pile. The girls, Nanners and Apple, enjoy using their brother, Raisin, as a pillow.

Clementine patiently nursing her babies. She has gotten into the ‘momma groove’ now and is doing great!

A puppy rainbow! That’s Nanners on top, Raising in the middle, and Apple on the bottom.

see the video!

The puppies finally are awake long enough to take a picture with their eyes open! Apple is waving hello to you!

Those spots on Nanners’ nose are getting darker, don’t you think? Cute!

Raisin, aka “the Chunky Monkey,” is definitely growing. Look how big he’s getting!

Proud mama shows off her mothering skills! Clementine is very patient with the little ones.

But, wow, mothering is hard work! After the babies are fed, Mom takes a little time out for herself.

It’s a puppy sandwich-cookie! With brother, Raisin, in the middle!

Who’s ready for a kiss? MWAH!

Raisin continues to grow. His human foster mom, Emma, says he weighs a few ounces more than his sisters, Apple and Nanners.

Look at Nanners’ adorably, soft ears! The freckles on her nose are growing darker, too.

Apple enjoys camouflaging with the stuffed animals. Just this last week, she started getting freckles on her nose, just like her sister, Nanners.
