3 Weeks 3 Days Old

Here is the gallery.

Pups are starting to get fun now. They are eating, drinking and playing. The time they stay awake and play will get longer. They had their 1st water today and I think I caught it on video

The grand daughters got to meet the pups and Hallie was fine with it. I will try to get photos sometime this week with them and the pups. They are here for 10 days so lots of opportunities.

Pups are getting to be plain fun. I just love spending time with them.

Three Weeks 2 Days First Food

Guess what we are doing? We ate twice today and we won't again till tomorrow as we have to see how their systems handle the solid food. You will see in a couple of videos that are getting uploaded after blogs that they enjoy the new adventure.

Here is the gallery.

What is wonderful is the boy is finding his way to the pad and using it almost consistently. The gal is using it as well but not as consistent as the boy. That will come. What is amazing is they just found their way to using it. 

I changed the blankets once or twice a day and they do not need it but I like fresh feeling blankets to place down.

The pups now play with me and I have been introducing toys to them. They are semi interested but like humans and siblings more for now.

The pups are growing up!!

Check out the videos soon.

3 Weeks Old

Here is the gallery.

The boy - oh my god does he so loves to snuggle and play with you. Oh the gal too but he's mr sociable at this point in time. That will continue to change. At 3 weeks, it is simply an observation that one is eating and one is playing more. LOL

I have much grooming to do so it is short blogging. May not get the videos up till bedtime or tomorrow. We shall see.

Can you believe they are 3 weeks already?

20 Days Old New Digs

Here is the gallery.

When the pups are in the whelping box, there is only 1 way to look out - the entrance where mom enters. When they come out, they are suddenly exposed from all sides. There are new things to look at and sound is more amplified. Each puppy acts differently. Thesec 2 were absolutely stars. They looked around. They still found each other as now they have 4 times the space and not a peep. They are stars.

Be sure to check out the videos.
