8 Days Old

I put a stuffed animal in this pen. I may have to find some others and the dogs sometimes use them as pillows and other times as you can see above are all spread out. That also has to do with how warm it is or isn't. they sleep on top to stay warm, they spread out to cool down. They also go under the railings to cool down.
Leti tends to watch her pups to make sure they are okay. She does come out of their area at times but she runs when they make noises. Interesting enough none of the moms act this way if it is not their pups so the sound of them has to be unique just like our voices are.
I am thankful that we do litters together as the moms are truly great with each other. Though as picky of an eater that Leti is (she's getting better) she is not willing to give up her food for Willow or Stormy. They are also not willing to give up their food.
Pups are doing well. I can't wait till eyes are open. Then old enough to get outside at 3.5 to 4 weeks old. So many changes in store.
Be sure to check out the videos.
I feel incredibly blessed to have the dogs in my life. Everyone is biased but my dogs are really caring beings for each other.

So nice to know that our future puppy will be coming from such a loving, caring home.
Fascinating that they recognize when it is one of their pups.
Jim: We do so love the dogs.
Your love of the dogs shines through everything you do. Poppy is a prime example of that care. She is loving, caring and unafraid of new experiences. She is a treasure in the car, jumping into her Sherpa bag and ready for another adventure of quiet riding in the car. She is very quiet and only barks when she sees dogs pass by. I only wish I could get her to bark to go outside or come in. I have a set of bells at the door but the rest of the family don't use them. :-( .(how do you get emojis to work?) Just one question, what is the thing with jumping on your lap and nibbling on your nose? I finally figured out she does that when she needs to go out. Thank you for such a beautiful dog.
