A Puddle of Puppies!

As we all know, babies sleep all the time. Like 90% of the time!

Puppies are no different. But, while their brains are resting, their little bodies are still in constant motion! Some movements are just adjusting themselves, seeking a warm body or looking for mom. Other movements … the more sporadic ones…are critical to their muscle development. Called “activated sleep”, these twitches and pops actually help their tiny muscles get stronger and builds nerve connections  that are critical to motor coordination.

 

 

Puppy Close Ups!

Artemis’s pups are 1 1/2 weeks old now. These photos were taken at 1 week. They are all so healthy and lively. Thank you Lord!

Anyway, here they are in birth order!

I am waiting on my grandchild Lulu to tell me what their names will be. Hint: Lulu has a sweet tooth!

10 Week Old Puppy Antics!

This is Daisy, the smallest of both litters…standing on top of the dog carrier I have in their pen. She is the first pup to climb up onto the carrier!

This is Daisy just hanging out on top of the carrier! They all love the carrier…play hide ‘N’ seek inside it. Great way to get them to like the carrier!
