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.
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.
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.
Today the puppies saw the vet to have their dew claws removed. He commented several times on how healthy they look. Today is also day 1 of 13 days of neurological stimulation exercises. For more information on this, type “neurological stimulation” in the search box.

“April” is by Sunny’s tail. Can you find “Adam”?
Two little men will soon be leaving for their new homes.
“Wilson” (formerly known as Blue Boy or Butter Bean) will remain here.
