Well, we all found it fascinating to crawl on top of this bag. It's a new style to us so up and over and on top we went. They notice one is missing. Which is interesting but they got some tendons and they have ben distracted with that. Now they are off to upstairs to play.
Here are some videos from today.

I can hear Risa saying, "what a cool couple of litters, we did it again Mom and Dad."
I still can't tell Charlie apart from his sister, but I'm guessing that's him in the "jumping on each other" video :)
Julia: That's Charlie. River is more quiet. You wanted one like Benji - full of spirit. Those two will have a blast together.
Julia: Charlie is VERY smart. :-)
Think Risa misses her own pups the way she looks at them but realizes she is too old to have kids hanging off her. Sort of like me. I feel old too. I AM IN SPOIL THEM MODE AND LET MOM DEAL MODE. Risa and I are a pair!
So Charlie is the package- looks, brains and spirit :-)
...and Charlie will get to see his mama AND his sister every time he comes for grooming and a play date :-) It may seem like a silly question, but, is a dog's concept of "family" and relatedness like ours? I mean, if they haven't seen their mom/dad/siblings for 3-4 weeks, do they recognize them as family when they see them (either through smell or sight), or are they just like any other dog to them?
Kat's brother didn't see us for years and one day he showed up at Pawsway when we were doing an event. He went out of his mind to see us. It was a place we never experienced with him. It seems we made an imprint on him that remained with him years later. Dogs remember people and siblings. Sometimes when they are gone at 10 weeks and they do not see them for a long time it takes them a bit to click and then they remember. Those that see each other after the 10 weeks have lasting bonds forever. Look at Murphy and Saffron. Now if Saffron doesn't grow and I have to place her, I am not sure what we will do. They are connected at the hip.
So yes they remember moms, siblings and us. Dads have nothing to do with them except be a part of the creation. Sometimes they play with them but mostly the connection is not with dad. He is not part of the nurturing from conception on so the imprint is not there.
Interesting! Thanks :)
