teats of the dam.

Brief Extracts from the Diary of a Litter of Bedlington 
Terriers. 
2nd day.—Taste tested with Epsom salts and nux vomica. 
Cannot determine positively whether they either taste or 
smell. 
On the same day pinching causes them to cry out with 
pain, but the latent period is notably long. 
9th day.—Concussion of the surface on which they lie 
causes appearance of fright. 
11th day.—Eyes begin to open. 
They smack their lips, etc. (the eyes being covered) when 
meat is held 2 inches from the nose. 
16th day.—Ears not well open. Hearing still doubtful. 
Seem to smell at 3 or 4 inches. 
19th day.—When asleep I take the dam in quietly. 
When within 2 feet the puppies begin to move—soon to 
whine and cry. 
Hearing still doubtful, but inclined to think it exists in 
feeble degree. 
This day they managed to get out of the pen, which is 
5 or 6 inches high. 
They also co-ordinate well in scratching. 
First growling noticed. 
Sexual differentiation shown in expression, in shape, and 
psychic as well as somatic characteristics. 
22nd day.—Clear evidence of recognising dam by smell 
when she could not be seen,
