The little girls are changing so quickly now it is hard to keep up with what they are up to. They are going to need more room to walk (totter) around and play, so it’s going to be time for me to be creative and see what I can come up with. The pups are now starting to play with toys and each other–the wrestling matches have begun and it is usually 2 on 1 with the 1 on the bottom of the pile rotating among the girls. Their eyes are open (although Red girl is a little slower to fully open–I think she need sun glasses, she doesn’t like the glare) and they are hearing. Sassy still continues to be an excellent mom, but also enjoys some time away from the pups to play ball.
Red girl squinting into the light. She is growing and gaining weight daily, her goal is to catch up with her littermates.
Green girl remains the second largest at this point, but she is only an ounce or so behind her bigger littermate–Blue.
Blue girl is just not a photogenic pup–she is getting prettier and prettier all the time and remains the largest of the girls–one of these days we will get a really nice picture of her!! Blue is also the pup that has changed the most. It is so fun to watch these pups grow (and they grow so fast!), this next week will bring even more changes and my thoughts are turning to starting them on puppy food (other than mom).
Amazing to see how much they change week to week and in such a short period of time. As you say it’s fun to watch them grow. I remember holding Rose at 4 weeks (although at that time I didn’t know she was ours) and she was so squirrelly. I still have that video. And good for Sassy to get away and play ball! Mom’s need a break.
