IMG_0329IMG_0331IMG_0332IMG_0334IMG_0335This week the pups really found their legs and are on the move!! Sometimes their legs don’t take them in the direction they think they want to go, but it doesn’t matter because after a second they can’t remember where they wanted to go anyway–their attention span is very, very short. Wrestling with each other and taking more notice of toys is a great way for them to spend their awake time. New experiences–they have met Piper’s litter twice now, have traveled in the car, tested out new surfaces to walk on, and met new people–and all the pups did very well.

Piper and Simon’s puppies are 6 weeks old today.  During the last week they have learned the joys of going outside.  Red girl and Purple girl seem to find things to chew on, no matter how often I clean the area.  Green boy even found a bug!  Yellow girl and Clear boy are learning to climb up the steps.  Up is always more effective than down.  I put a pad at the bottom of the steps for those inevitable tumbles.  This week there will be lots of visitors.  The puppies enjoy meeting new people.

End of week 3 the Rosie/Jackson puppies have gone through some big changes–their eyes are now fully open and they can see. Ears have developed and they can hear. They are walking (not always in the direction they want to go) and they are starting to play with toys and each other. They grow up way to fast–but it is a fun age.  More changes to come in future weeks.  Left to right:  Blue girl, Clear male, Green girl, Purple male, and Red male.IMG_0321IMG_0322IMG_0323IMG_0325IMG_0328

IMG_0315IMG_0316IMG_0318IMG_0319IMG_0320It has been a busy second week for the puppies–lots of growing. Their eyes are beginning to open, their ears are developing, and they are getting around much better–getting up on their feet and wobbling around. From here on out the changes come rapidly. In birth order from left to right: blue girl, clear male, green girl, purple male, red male.
