Tonight 4 Weeks Old

What can I say about this crew. I rather like them. The one that uses the pad the most is the mostly white one. I have caught her doing it herself. She seems to be VERY quick in doing things. She remains the least aggressive eater. The kisser is the gal puppy. She just loves to snuggle and kiss. The boy doesn't want to be put on his back but he is getting better. He can climb up on the bed with ease but he is also longer. He is agile. Today he let me tickle his tummy and place him on the back without a struggle. So far he's the most independent. But these are early observations that can and do change with time. I still find them highly sociable.

 All have reacted well being outside of their xpen. Remember they have been out since about 2.5 weeks old for a little here and there.

We have a busy day with Roxie. She seemed to be progressing and now she is resting. That's okay. She is allowing me to get everything done but that also means less time to blog. But I did manage to get some videos for you.

Sisters Playing

Paw to You

I love the one above how she is using her paw to try to get her sibling to play.

Sibling Playing

Playing With Teddy

They have now graduated into playing with things larger than them.

Momma Jeannie Plays

I will tell you that Jeannie is a class act. She spends so much time teaching them to play and is delighted when they play back with her. You can tell she gets excited as their abilities progress. Look mom what my pups can do! Oh Mom, they are playing with me - see. She just beams.

Jeannie is Feeding

Sleeping Soundly

Sleepie Snuggles

Now that Roxie's pups are coming shall I put the camera in with them? What do you think? I am torn on how I should do it as I would love videos from each. I can do it with my ipad video camera? I just figure I can't do the number I am doing now. Its just easier with pushing a button on the ipad even from out in the kitchen to catch something cute. With the ipad I must be there in the same room and I certainly can't do them at night. Leave it in with Jeannies pups or not? You tell me? I am hoping by Panda's I have another camera.

Darlah...hum...what to do. First, today's videos are wonderful. I think the little one playing with Teddy is adorable. It almost looked as if Teddy was alive. I think you should do what is easier for you, truly. We have all enjoyed the Jeannie journey so far. Maybe now we turn to the Roxie journey for a bit? Food for thought but in the end it should be what works for you.

I am saving my tips so I can do both. Eventually the camera has to go upstairs with the pups at night. Wish they were as easy as just moving and setting it up but it takes a long time to get them in the right position. The way Roxie is going we will have pups next Tuesday - just joking but its how I feel. Her temps are still down.

The Teddy is a riot considering its more than double the size of the pup.
