16 Days Old

Well here is 3 of them. Where is the 4th? He is under the railing. Why do they go under the rails? Remember they do this BEFORE their eyes are open too. They usually use it as a way to get away from the heat and to be up against a wall as comfort. Now if they bunch up and cry they are cold. They can also bunch up for comfort. It's only when you have crying as a part of the equation that you have to start checking the temps of the room and whelping area.
By 3 weeks their bodies are able to self regulate. They can't before this age. So they use railings, bodies etc to stay cool or warm. It's amazing that they do this without their eyes open.
This crew can also hear now. Ears and eyes open up in a similar timeframe. They now react to noises.
The ears are now starting to point out as they will eventually flop down. I call this the helicopter stage. It's a cute one.
I really, really like the heads on these pups. I am highly drawn to the beige gal. Her face is pretty and her head shape is wonderful. Can't wait till they are playing.

They are all so adorable...I too, have loved that little beige gal from day one!
I love the pic with the cream pup feeding on her back 😀 Do I hear a new champion coming along?
She rally is beautiful but they all are. What faces. Sweet as pie.
