Blottie's pups (below) get one day under their belts. Pups are born with eyes and ears closed. Around fourteen days old eyes and ears open up. Although their eyes will be unable to focus until around twenty eight days old. Mum is found by smell and touch. Their umbilical cords (the cord that attached them to their placenta in the womb) dry up quickly after birth and drop off within a couple days of being born. Blottie eat every afterbirth (as she always does) from her pups and unlike many bitches kept them all down (as she always does) benefitting from the nutrition, which in turn her pups will also benefit from. It does make Mum's poop like tar though for a day or two.
