Now that they are getting older, you can see how pretty their faces are.
Just today, I noticed slits in their eyes. They may open their eyes in a few days, We shall see. Usually it all begins with slits.
When they first open their eyes their eyesight is blurry. Their ears open too at this time so they will react to loud sounds.
From a few days to a week they then become more active and curious. We add toys for visual appeal. For now it is not desirable or necessary as it would just mean unseen obstacles to get to mom.
Be sure to check out the videos. We did a nail clipping and you will see on the videos how that went - who squirmed, who didn't.
The boy is a tad congested so we are aspirating him a few times a day. He is not sick. He tends to drink too fast. This has happened to us before with one or 2 and it always clears up. I place him on a slower flowing milkstation and he climbs over everyone to get to a bottom station. We had 2 others doing the same but they seem to have slowed down on how vigorous they suckle. I think the male thinks he's going to miss out. The congestion is minor. It may be an indictor on what kid of a eater he will be. Think he is going to LOVE food. LOL
The pups are all well. Soon they will be moving and grooving.
