10 Days Old

Here is the gallery.

They still do have squinty eyes so I think within a day or a bit for eyes open. The gal is getting up on her legs and attempting to walk. The fat boy says - think I will crawl for now. LOL

Here are the videos.

Once the eyes are open, I add toys so they have some visuals. It is not until they try to climb out of the whelping box that I remove it. Until then, they can only see out from a certain vantage point. Their world will change, at this point and you will enjoy their antics once they start getting mobile. It seems like it takes forever and then it does and you go - oh that was fast.

Hallie remains golden as a mom. She is one of the best moms. She lets them sleep when they need to. She loves cuddling with them and she fills their needs. 

Usually about 3.5 weeks old we take them outside for the 1st time. That is approx 2 weeks from now. We play it by ear depending on the weather and how mobile they are. 

For now we are on eyes open watch.

9 Days Old

Today, I had them in my lap as they fed from Hallie. I am doing whatever I can to make them smell me, feel me so when thir eyes are open, I am a comfort. I do this with all the pups but I am able to do it the way that I can with only 2. It is a wonderful experience.

Here is the gallery.

It is hard to believe that it is 9 days since the pups arrived. It goes by so fast though I must admit I am looking forward to the open eyes stage.

A few videos are already up.

8 Days Old

The pups are now 8 days old. They are vocal when they want mom. Mom reacts to them or then says you need to sleep after checking them out. 

Here is the gallery. 

It is funny that they have very similar markings. The boy is larger than the gal. Both like to eat. Hallie is picky and then eats treats like she is starving. She is a riot. But she has enough milk as they are gaining. 

I can't wait till their eyes open. I want them to see who is snuggling with them. How selfish of me.

Videos are already up. I may doone or two more.

One Full Week Old

Here is the gallery.

Pups are doing well. They do fuss for mom at times. She is comfortable enough to let them sleep. The videos are here.

The pups and mom remain relatively easy. No fretting about weight gain and they do sleep between feedings. Mom has no milk impactation. She can get semi picky about food but when hungry will eat. 

Another week and then we go day by day wondering when eyes will open. It will be a fun journey.

6 Days Old

Here is the gallery.

Pups are 1 day short of a full week. They want for nothing. They eat, they sleep and sometimes they fuss to say mom, where are you? I can't wait till their eyes open and they are running around. They will be so much fun.

Here are the videos. They are always found here. I upload them at different times when I have a moment.
