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. 



$th day. Concussion of the surface on which they lie 

 causes appearance of fright. 



llth 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. 



I9th 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.
