Pink Girl has always been the heaviest. She still is, just barely. She weighs 1 lb. 12 oz. During picture taking time she wanted to explore. I got several pictures of her back!

1 lb. 11.8 oz. Miss Orange decided to go under the dresser. It was a challenge to get her to hold still long enough for a picture.

Instead of sitting still for her picture, Miss Orange decided to go under the dresser.  I had to fish her out!  She weighs 1 lb. 11.8 oz.

Blue Boy has been gaining weight.  He now weighs 1 lb. 11.8  oz.  The puppies have a new daytime play space.  It has a tunnel and Blue was the first to go in the tunnel.  Brave Boy!

The puppies seem to enjoy their larger space.  Their little legs got some good exercise, exploring their new surroundings.

Flo-Jo's puppies are two days shy of 3 weeks old.  You can see how much they have grown!  Tomorrow they will get a bigger "condo."

IMG_0696Sassy turned 3 months old on April 12.  Today was bath day for Sassy and I can’t say she was good in the bath–I think I was as wet as she was–but the more times she has a bath, the better she will get.  IMG_0697Sassy loves to be outside.  Unfortunately she is still to small to be out in the grass with the “big” dogs”.  Buzz is so exuberant when he tries to play with Sassy that he just runs right over the top of her–soon she’ll be big enough to run and play with the rest of the “pack”.

IMG_0694Buzz turned 7 month old on the 12th of April–he is growing up fast.  Today he had a bath and was such a good boy I could hardly believe that I was washing Buzz–I hardly got wet.  Because it was such a beautiful April evening we went out into the grass yard–and Buzz decided to “dine”–so that’s a blade of grass coming out of his mouth.

Green Boy is 15 oz. You can see his eyes are only open a tiny slit. He has the distinction of having the loudest voice!

Orange Girl is trying to catch up to her sister. She weighs 1 lb. 0.5 oz. Her eyes opened a day later than Pink's. This week we've seen that al the puppies are trying to stand up and are getting around much quicker. Their movements usually take them in a circle, but they are trying. I hear little puppy growls, which sound more like a puppy purr. Obviously they have gained lots of weight and their eyes are opening. There will be even bigger changes by three weeks.
