Had not intended to visit puppies til next Monday, but other commitments needed attention so it would not have been til Tuesday for the visit, and my daughter was available to help me load up various items that the puppies will be needing as they transition from the whelping box into a larger puppy pen, as well as next week begin to eat from a dish in addition to nursing off mom....so...tonight we did a quick run to visit puppies. We did a weigh in and each puppy has gained...they are now gaining about an ounce a day and that will increase tremendously after they also eat from a dish!
The spotting patterns are looking quite nice; one of two will have a few more spots than the others, and some of their coats are a bit longer (understandably so since their grand-daddy Hummer has a slightly longer coat). Those with a longer coat are showing spots are sorta "faded" - in another week that will all change and their spotting will be as sharp as others. Faces are clean and will have a few spots over their noses, which most of my line produces.
Eyes are bright open now and next week we will begin to check for eye color (momma Bubbles has one blue eye). Right now they all have a slightly bluish tint which is normal for this age.
Of course, they all had their weekly pedicure.
They are now acting like real puppies and learning to walk around more and they leave their sheepskin bed to go to opposite of the pen for potty purposes.
They are also learning how to vocalize with little barks and yips and grrrs. Too funny!
Here are the latest pictures...of course the boys are on blue towel and girls are on light pink.....
It is so amazing to see the change in just a week. They are so cute. Love the nose spots. Daddy Jack is very proud of his kids.
