16 Days Old

She sleeps a great deal, at this point. This is normal. She uses Mommy as a pillow and sinks right into her hair, which creates knots but I comb her daily.

Here is the gallery.

Spirit is so proud of her. You can see it in the videos and photos.

I am trying to get blogs done earlier so I am not working up to bedtime, which I have been doing.

When Ms Rolly Polly one sleeps, Spirit likes to climb in my lap and get snuggles with me. She so looks forward to it and I so enjoy it too!

15 Days

I managed to get her on her back and playing with her. You will see in one of the videos.

I was crazy busy so it was a multi-tasking day. But I managed to still enjoy the pups. Tomorrow is busy too so it will probably be late blogging again.

Here is the gallery.

I hate blogging right up to cleanup time before bed. This gal is starting to get aware of her environment. She enjoys me touching and playing with her. It's quite nice and yes she has a round tummy.

I managed to get all 3 moms thoroughly combed out only to find knots in them again due to pups crawling through their hair.

Two Weeks Old

This light business is more than I can take. Send me back to darkness. LOL Each day over several days her eyes will get less blurry and less light sensitive. When she arrives at this point, she will start practicing getting up on her legs and strengthening them till she is just walking vs. practicing,

Here is the gallery.

I think in one of the videos, you can see her attempting play with her mom. It's quite nice.

I have been uploading the videos as I groom so they are earlier. LOL

You need a brushing, Ms Spirit. Each day they are combed out and each day the pup crawls through their hair and messy they get. I wonder what Ms. Spiriti is thinking staring as she is at her gal.

Here is the gallery.

We are now seeing slits as you will see in one of the videos I so tried hard to take. It was a funny balance. But I think you can see what I was seeing. Soom she will open her eyes and a whole new world will begin for her.

The videos are here.
