2 Weeks!

We are all steadily gaining and have now about tripled our birth weight. We have learned to make little puppy sounds when we want Mom's attention. Oh yeah - today two of us have eyes!

"Blue Boy" is still in the dark. At 2 weeks old he weighs 1 lb 2.125 oz and his nose is noticeably darker.

"Blue Fawn" boy is still the largest, by far, of the puppies, now weighing 1 lb 4.375 oz. He was the second puppy to open his eyes. "I may be second," he says, "but at least I have two eyes!"

"Blue Heart" girl was peeking at us yesterday, and today still has only the one eye open. "Winking... I'm winking!" she says. "Make sure you get my good side in that photo."
At 2 weeks "Blue Heart" weighs 1 lb 2.125 oz.

"Red Girl", also still in the dark, really stands out in the pack with her beautiful coat colour and dark markings. She is a big girl at 1 lb 3.25 oz, gaining ground on "Blue Fawn".

"Little Africa" -- you can't help but love this one -- still tiny enough at 1 lb 1.25 oz to curl up in your hand, and always content to do so.

peek-a-boo!

I see you!


She hates my "Mystic" spray tan





Trying to get the spray tan off my fingers, obviously I will resort to any method now. What a good little helper.

Here We Are at 8 Days Old!

We have been busy growing and have all more than doubled our birth weights

First born "Blue Boy" has gone from 6.25 oz to 12.875 oz

Our second boy "Blue Fawn" is now a whopping 15.25 oz up from 7.375 oz

"Blue Heart" girl is in the middle of the pack at 13.375 oz up from 6.375 oz

"Red Girl" second largest puppy, 6.625 oz at birth, briefly lost a bit of ground to "Blue Boy" and "Blue Heart", but is once again weighing in second at 13.625 oz

Little "Africa", our tiny blue girl, 6.125 oz at birth, has caught up to her brother "Blue Boy" at 12.875 oz. ("Tomorrow I pass him," she says)

Breakfast at the gym?

Not sure what Holly was trying to accomplish here with her new nursing technique --

did they get to her before she had a chance to lay down?

was she going for a combo breakfast plate and pilates?

perhaps she was playing mother hen, trying to gather all her chicks under her...

other... comments please

(these photos were actually taken on May 21st -- puppies were 5 days old)
