3 Weeks 1 Day Old

This gal is mighty comfie. The crew is really comfortable with lots of room.

Here is the gallery.

It's so nice to be able to play with them as I can sit in the pen.

I really can't believe how well they are walking. It's going to be fun getting this crew outside.

Be sure to check out the videos. I am getting to them shortly.

New Area 3 Weeks Old

Very few photos. Unless I am taking them not much of that gets done. Here is the gallery.

Dennis set this up. I was simply putting it off due to lack of time. So he did it last night. You will see in the videos.

They made the leap well. I am no longer weighing them as they literally jump off the scale or jump up and down making anything accurate impossible.

They are playing more as you will see as they now have the room but now they cry if they can't get to mom. It beats just skipping so they are smart.

1 Day Shy of 3 Weeks

Pups are adorably actived when awake. I keep meaning to get them out of their box but I can't find the time. They need more space to roam but usually an indicator is when they try to climb out of the box. One is trying but not getting there yet.

Here is the gallery.

They will be going concerns by the time the older crew has departed.

Be sure to check out the videos.

19 Days Old

These pups should be coming out of the whelping box but do not have the time to set it up, to be honest. So maybe tomorrow or the next day.

Here is the gallery.

As you can see they like sleeping on their toys and piling up. They are really fun to watch at this age but I know I need more videos.

Can you believe they are almost 3 weeks old?

18 Days Trying to Walk

As you can see they are trying to get up on their feet to walk. They all can do it to a point but the black and white is the best at it so far.

Here is the gallery.

They are also interacting with each other but those are for fleeting moments and then they are back to sleep. They do not last long expelling energy at this age.

Videos are getting uploaded shortly and I think I got them captured with their attempts.

17 Days Old

It is easy to remember the ages between with 7 days between. This crew is starting to get their sea legs and are curious. They were not sure what to think of this human but each day, a few times a day, I hold them and snuggle with them and they tend to melt. It is nice!

Here is the gallery.

They will soon be walking and interacting.

2 Weeks 2 Days Old

They sleep. They eat. They snuggle. Soon they will be interacting. They do love to use the toys as pillows. Have to figure out how to give them soft headspots as they so enjoy. Maybe a few socks wrapped into each other. hmmm

Here is the gallery.

When the older pups depart, this crew will be placed in an xpen next to the Spirit crew so they can look at each other. This way they get used to each other. Then a week later the will be together.

Be sure to check out the videos.

2 Weeks 1 Day

Here is the gallery.

This is a tri, A tri has colour under it's tail, eyebrows and sometimes colour on chest, belly and legs. So far she seems to do her own thing and sometimes skipping a meal only to play catchup the next time.

Videos are found here.

We are short blogging and early blogging due to having to go to the vets.

2 Weeks Old - Really

The crew is now a solid 2 weeks old. Does it feel like 2 weeks to you? I am not sure what timeline I am in. LOL But they are delicious. They do noy like direct sunlight on them with a heatlamp. Give me warm but not too warm, please.

I am working on the videos. You will find them here.

I take my time each day to hold and snuggle with them several times a day so they can now look at this huge thing that is holding them.

Here is the gallery.
