4 Weeks 1 Day Old

I make fun of the boy being so fat but he will slim down as he runs. He is walking pretty good now. He is a stunning beauty and cuddles right into my neck happy as ever that I am snuggling with him. The gal that is the littlest is voicing her dislike to one of Sage's trying to play too rough. I figure in a week she will have it figured out. When she gets tired and she is 1st to fall asleep due to her size, she rolls into a ball in your lap. It's wonderful. The mid size gal likes her walk abouts and walking on my ipad and wagging her tail at me a mile a minute when she sees me.

As you can see they are really wonderful for your heart.

We had them upstairs for the 1st time and they were amazing. No concerns in the least.

Be sure to check out the videos.

Nathan was napping. I was grooming all day long but I took time to spend time with them on their 1st visit upstairs, I love firsts. It was hard juggling the camera and ipad but hopefully I pulled it off enough.

4 Weeks Old

Here is the gallery of both litters.

Now that they have reached 4 weeks they are getting more active and adventurous. It;s a huge problem with 2 litters a week apart but when they get into that 6 and 7 weeks you can't see a difference in development. Still, the younger set has the advantage as they see and try to duplicate the older crew. It accelerates their development. This crew is doing rather well.

The littlest one, as you can see did a walk about to say hello to the older crew and Roxie was caught kissing her. It is so endearing.

Within a week they should be together and upstairs without moms at night.

Even Mr I love to eat is moving now and as he gets more and more active he will lose that mid section. I may tease him and laugh but he is a stunning boy. Spirit crew is such a loving crew.

Together or Not

There is a nameless puppy of Sage that keeps pulling the littlest tail relentlessly so we have not been able to put them permanently together inside. We will get there,

All but her have teeth but they will soon come.

Here is the gallery.

Spirit's boy needs to move more to lose weight. He loves his bely rubs though. The gals are pretty spectacular too. Their personalities will all start unfolding this week just as they have started to with Sage's last week.

Hot One

It was actually too hot for the pups on their first visit outdoors. They panted to cool down. They told us by voice it was way too hot and it was. If we get anither day like this, I will put all 7 in my tub, wash them and take them outdoors wet. Tomorrow it is not going to be as hot so there goes that idea and nathan wasn't keen with it at first till he realized I wasn't asking him to take them in the pool, No, I would do it all. LOL

Here is the gallery.

Their 2nd time they were out it was cooler and they enjoyed it more.

First Food and Nails Both Litters

As this crew is one week younger than the Sage crew, their interest was not as high with the exception of 1 gal. One would think rolly polly boy would be but not initially.

Here is the gallery.

Dennis said last night all 3 had interest. I will try them again today.

I will be adding videos and outdoor info etc later on as they unfold. I am going to see if this here and there makes blogging appear less time consuming. I have already updated the sage crew and now here.

Here is the outdoor gallery of both litters including getting their nails done.

Can you tell which pups are Spirit's and which are Sage's.
