I love waking up these days!
I love watching the puppies even more…especially after they have eaten, the pen is clean and they start their day of play.
 |
| Tossing and rolling |
 |
| They love these plastic rings. Now that they are bigger, I can hang them in their pen. |
 |
| They have been using the litter pans for almost two weeks now. |

| The water station |
 |
| Play, play, play |
Our puppies had their first taste of Florida sunshine yesterday. It has been a cold winter, even down here, so they haven’t been outside until now. Enjoy their romps on this video.

Also, I came to the shocking realization yesterday that my individual photos are a little off! Puppy boy 1 and 2 were the same puppy!!! I’m really seeing a lot of black and white and it is beginning to affect my brain. That’s my excuse anyway.
So, I corrected the photos of Puppy #2.
And, I weighed the puppies just to see how they compare and here are the results:
Puppy boy #1: 1# 14 oz.
Puppy boy #2: 1# 14 oz. (this is not a mistake. I checked it three times! LOL)
Puppy girl #3: 1# 10 oz.
Puppy girl #4: 2# 2 oz.
Puppy girl #5: 1# 15oz.
Puppy girl #7: 1# 15 oz.
Puppy boy #8: 2# 4 oz.
Puppy girl #9: 2# 8 oz.
Other new happenings:
 |
| Puppies still sleep a lot. It does not appear that there is any stress here at all! |
 |
| They look like spokes of a wheel when they eat. This is kibble soaked in water overnight. They love it! |
 |
| More sleeping! |
 |
| Taking a taste of Mama’s food.
|
Our puppies are 17 days old now and their eyes are pretty much open. No, they cannot focus yet but they can see shadows which has to be exciting. Even more exciting is that their little legs are getting strong enough that they can move about the whelping box very well. Here are some photos … you’ll be amazed how much they’ve grown!
 |
| Puppy 4 is developing some nice brown markings! |
 |
| Getting so strong! |
 |
| Eyes wide open! |
 |
| Telling secrets? |
 |
| Puppy play is beginning to take form. |
 |
| They can get to their milk station much faster now. |
 |
| I love it when their eyes open!!! |
Here are some photos of our individual puppies. Their noses are mostly black now but their eyes are still closed. Next time I’ll use my camera. I’m not too happy with the quality of my phone photos.
