1 Day Shy of 3 Weeks

These pups are a riot. The way they are walking and playing, I have to laugh. I need to get less busy and take some videos. LOL Okay, I have some but have not uploaded yet.

Here is the gallery.

I just love snuggling the pups. They give me kisses and well if I show off Raven or Cinnamon's pups - Leti goes - hey what about MINE? It is so cute!

Just watching them sleep can be an amazing experience. The Leti pups are pretty active being 4 days behind the Cinnamon pups.

Here is the gallery.

The blogs are short today as I truly had a busy day but the pups are wonderful. Videos and photos tomorrow. Tomorrow we have guests over and I need to put blankets away. I have a stack in my grooming room but not tonight. Sometimes you need to relax.

The magic of Nathan introducing kissing. LOL They do kiss him too. They do me as well but he has this thing going on with each.

Here is the gallery.

The pups are actually getting quite decent moving around. I am amazed at how agile they are. Soon they too will come out of their whelping box but I am in no great need to do so until they need to. No one is trying to climb out yet.

Oh the pups were fun today. You will see them trying to walk and doing a good job at it to playing with each other. They are really starting to go on that journey of what you will see at 6 plus weeks. You are going to love the 3 crew of 3 moms. I know I do! Each is so unique!

Here are the videos.

It is so interesting actually see them playing with each other now. Soon they will have to get out of teh whelping box too.

Here is the gallery.

The Leti pups sure try to walk around. The deep apricot and cream gal with Raven has one eye open. When Nathan is up for his nap, I will take photos but till then you can see it in a Raven video. There are also videos of the 4 with Leti.

Also be sure to check out the gallery.

It is fun watching them grow!

Eyes Open Gal! Here is her gallery.

Two have their eyes open. The rest are with eyes closed. There is no significance on how early or how late pups open their eyes. There is actually a large time frame when they can. Sometimes in a litter 1 can hold out an extra few days.

Here is the gallery.

I just like them open to see the increase in activity. Sometimes with eyes closed they play. That is what Leti's pups are doing and the 2 that are with Raven are getting her boy to play. It is mighty interesting.

Be sure to check out the videos.

The pups are all doing well. Dennis stayed up all night with them and faded at 4 till 7. I think it is time he can sleep at night with his ears open.

This is the boy with Raven and his eyes are open. I was playing with them and noticed. You will see in the video. Nathan played with him just a few ago and didn't see it. I went into play and voila eyes open for me. lol

Here is his eyes open gallery.

2nd Eyes Open

Leti was genuinely excited to have pups with eyes open. This is the 2nd girl to say hello world. The other 3 still have eyes firmly closed.

Here is the eyes gallery.

Pups are attempting to walk. They are gaining daily. Leti's hair despite being clean is always a mess as she allows the pups to climb all through her. What a grand mom!

Here is a small 2 week gallery.

Such a fun crew!

Be sure to check out the videos today.

Leti's pups - all 5 are now over 1 pound.  How did that happen?

Here is the gallery.

I have Leti a bone tonight when she was feeding. She looked at the bone, looked at the puppies and the puppies won out. As soon as the pups were done eating, she went running to the bone.

Good mommy....

Pups are doing well!

12 Days Old Mom Bath

Leti had a bath today and she is a happy, happy gal. She was the most frantic to get back to her pups. I washed, blew excess water out and dried as fast as I could.

You could visibly see the pups sniffing. Maybe they thought they got a new mom. LOL

Here is the gallery.

Leti is such a doting mom. Her pups are gaining very well. Still over an ounce a day.  I can't wait till their eyes open.

Be sure to check out the after bath videos here.
