Eyes Open 'cEPT 1
Today we have squinty eyes open. By tonight I will take another photo and you will see a larger opening. The black and white gal also has squinty eyes but not as pronounced as this one.
This one started interacting with his siblings. I said to Nathan while he also watched - oh my gad they are playing. He was trying to interact. It was ever so cute but I didn't catch it on video. I did catch some play but more dominance games. There will be many more moments.
They are 2 weeks tonight. As the eyes open the ears open. They will hear noises. They will be a tad nervous about their surroundings and they will attempt to walk more. It is a fun time and videos will get more exciting by weeks end, I suspect.
Here are today and last nights videos. I apologize as I am running out of steam. I have dogs to groom, wash as they are now due and so far I have only done Inula and Ella. So, in the next few days I may do less videos but I will do longer ones.
Videos:
With pups here is my day. I wake up. I weigh pups, I change bedding, I comb and massage moms. I upload videos. I create blogs. Moms need to be fed, loved up and made to feel special. They are what counts. Without them the pups would not be here so I make sure they know how much they are appreciated.
In-between I do laundry. I clean up this room as Dennis tends to leave it interesting. I also try to groom out everyone but most times I juggle and do it inbetween - one here - one there. I wash as I can. As the pups get older it gets to be more work but easier - less juggling. I would have been there if Roxie didn't have pups. :-) So we start again.
I take out the dogs at times. Nathan and Dennis take the dogs out. We have fun with them many many times a day. They also get their naps when Nathan gets his. I do not get a nap. We feed them. We feed the moms about 4 to 6 times a day. When Nathan goes out to the store, I get to handle it all myself till Dennis gets up for the day. That is usually not till after 2 or 3.
Each stage is different work that will include playing outside the xpen many times a day, getting carried through the house and outside. Getting exposures etc
Here is a gallery of the eyes open. Only one says - not now. I wish they were better photos but Nathan was not happy having to hold them for a longer session. He's not feeling well. So they are what they are.

What a face! So cute!
I do believe they are all gorgeous, but the markings and coloring of this one are out of this world.
Love all the pups, but the face of the dark sable is so perfect.
I love this face!
Great gallery. So exciting to see their eyes open. All so sweet. I look forward to the next few weeks watching them grow.
I cannot believe how much you get done in a day Darlah. As I always say, and mean it, you are AMAZING.
Love the pics and seeing close ups of the faces. Will be lots of fun to see how these colours mature. Can't wait to see the pups interacting now that they will be able to see and hear. ... so much fun!
They are all so beautiful. Love the pic of Nathan kissing the puppy.
Eyes open already, wow, they sure are growing fast. It will be so much fun now for them to be able to see each other and play. Beautiful pups.
