First bath and haircut went pretty well for Mr. Blue.
All he is interested in right now is a nap.
Blue was good in the bath. Notice his tail is up! The dryer was a bit more scary, but he settled down.
Look at the pile of hair! The clippers were met with skepticism, but all in all, Blue was VERY brave!
Pictures are taken a day early this week. I’ll be out of town at the Bichon Frise National Specialty
The little lads will be having a sleepover with Auntie Terrie.
This week we see lots more running and playing. Baby teeth are starting to come in.
They are still not sure that they love their mushed up dog food. Mom tastes better.
BLUE BOY
BROWNIE
TURQ
The puppies had a nice little romp and were settled for a long sleep. Blue Boy did not like the idea of having a camera put in front of his face and he barked and growled at it.
Today the puppies had their first taste of something other than Sunny’s milk. They had fun walking in it, but not much went into their mouths. It won’t be long before they are chowing down. I think Sunny is doing such a good job of feeding them that they are very happy to maintain the status quo.
Mr. Blue Boy – the oldest and still the heaviest.
Brown is getting cuter every day.
Turq didn’t want to look up today. He must have been sleepy.
3 1/2 weeks old – Brown Boy.
What an exciting week for the puppies. They are walking around and usually can get where they intend to go. They have begun to play with each other and to show interest in their toys. Brushing and combing have begun so they’ll get used to future grooming.
Blue is the champion eater. He weighs 1lb. 14.4.
Brown is our smallest boy. He gains weight every day and today his weight is 1 lb. 8.5. This picture doesn’t do him justice. He has a very cute face.
Turq is 1 lb. 11.1.
His pigment is the best of the three.
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.
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.
