The three little boys spend most of their time sleeping.  They do get quite excited at chow time, then it’s back to sleep once again.  It takes a lot of energy to grow as quickly as they are growing.

Eyes are beginning to open.  They are also getting up on their legs a little bit.  Soon they’ll get a larger playpen so they can exercise those muscles as they learn to walk and play.

Blue Boy is our largest at 1 lb. 5.9. His eyes have not opened.

Brown is the smallest. He weighs 1 lb. 1.7. His eyes opened first.

Turquoise is 1.5 lb. He has the most pigment. His eyes are just beginning to open.

Blue Boy is the largest in the litter. He is an enthusiastic eater.

Brown Boy is the smallest. But he, along with his brothers, has doubled his birth weight.

This is turquoise. He may be the most photogenic.

Neurological Stimulation Exercises began at 3 days old and will continue until they are 16 days old.  It’s a series of 5 simple exercises, each performed for 3-5 seconds:  hold the puppy upright, hold him upside down, hold him on his back, tickle between his toes with a Q-tip, place him on a cold surface.  Mommy is very glad when the puppy comes back to the crate with her.

All the puppies are doing very well. They doubled their birth weight by day 6. Pigment is coming in. They had their first nail trimming today and Mr. Turquoise was kind enough to pose for this picture.

The puppies have arrived! They are only 5 or 6 hours old in this picture. Sunny did a great job delivering…it was textbook perfect. We have three hungry, healthy boys.

The nursery is ready. Sunny is getting ready. She is getting lots of rest in anticipation of the big day.

Mitzi was too interested in playing to win any ribbons at our recent shows in Puyallup, WA. She stood still long enough for Anita to capture this picture of our pretty girl.

Brooklyn, aka Absolutely LDH  New York Minute

Brooklyn is 6 months old.  She’s a very busy puppy!

I made the mistake of leaving my chair too close to the dresser.  She chewed my drink coaster and knocked off the remote.  The next day I moved everything away so she couldn’t reach anything.  Where there’s a will, there’s a way.  She climbed onto the dresser, kissed herself in the mirror and proceeded to knock a plant off onto the floor.

What a great surprise! Mitzi is once again chosen for Best Puppy In Group and (drumroll please)  GROUP FOUR in the Non-Sporting Group.
