17 Days Old
This crew is 8 days behind the Adele crew but they will have the advantage. At the 4 and 5 week stage I will attempt to put them together a little each day extending the time. The younger ones ALWAYS learn from the older ones. They accelerate their progress being exposed to others that are a tad older. Most we have ever done this with is 10 days and I find the closer they are to 1 week, the easier it is to mesh the 2 litters. We do this for socialization. They become better pups for the exposures and experiences.
Right now the tri is fat, fat, fat. She's a riot. She loves to eat. The brown gal eats less but is a great size.
At times they do get up on their legs to try to walk. I am amazed. Soon they will be out of their whelping box. I find it an important stage as they can see out. They have more room to practice and the changes and growth occur. This duo LOVES to be held and snuggled.
Be sure to check out the videos. I am still trying to get them uploaded. We have some fun ones.

Wow having a visit for both litters at the same time will be a big crowd. Lucky families.
