Today the puppies had their first bath, their first experience with the hair dryer and their first haircut. They get an A +

April, after her bath. She was pretty brave.

Look at that pile of hair! April was a bit nervous with the dryer but I talked and sang to her and she felt more comfortable. She stood fairly still for the clippers and scissors.
First bath? Not a problem for Adam but he’s not very fond of standing for a picture!
The dryer was a bit of a challenge. Adam was like a moving target for trimming. Who wants to stand still when you can be playing? As a reward, he got to play with the big boys for a while. I watch closely to make sure they are not too rough. He seemed to enjoy every minute.

Sunny is still spending lots of time with her babies. She feeds them, cleans them, plays with them and occasionally gives them a little growl to teach them some manners. This is exactly what a Momma dog should do!

It always happens. One of the puppies learns to climb out of the pen. This time is was Adam. When I made his area too tall to climb out, his mother couldn’t jump in. It’s time to remodel and redecorate. Now their sleeping space is secure, but smaller. Puppies need more space to run around and learn new things, so they have a big daytime pen set up in the bedroom.

Sweet April is 5 weeks old today.

The little ones continue to grow and change. Their teeth are starting to come through. They are playing with each other and starting to notice their toys. Soon they will be introduced to softened food.

Adam is well over 2 pounds.  He’s a handsome little boy.
The black on April’s nose is filling in. Looking at this picture, I think it’s time for a little haircut!

The puppies are doing great. They just had their nails trimmed and since they were not wiggling too much, I trimmed some hair around their eyes. Looking at the pictures, I can see I missed some spots. Today they will move to a bigger “condo” so they can get more exercise. Eyes are open, ears are still opening, puppy growls (more like purrs) are beginning.

April weighs 1 lb. 8.6 oz.
Adam is a beefy boy. He weighs 1 lb. 12.4 oz.

The puppies are two weeks old today. Their job for now is to eat and sleep. They do both very well! You’ll notice that their eyes are just starting to open.

The puppies have almost doubled their birth weight. They are champion eaters! They eat and sleep. In the picture of them snuggling together, Adam is in the foreground. You can recognize him because he has more nose pigment.
