Blue Boy, the lightest at 14.9 oz. His eyes are just starting to open.
Pink Girl is the largest, weighing 1 lb. 1.7oz. Her eyes opened first.
Green Boy is 15 oz. You can see his eyes are only open a tiny slit. He has the distinction of having the loudest voice!
Orange Girl is trying to catch up to her sister. She weighs 1 lb. 0.5 oz. Her eyes opened a day later than Pink’s. This week we’ve seen that all the puppies are trying to stand up and are getting around much quicker. Their movements usually take them in a circle, but they are trying. I hear little puppy growls, which sound more like puppy purrs. Obviously they have gained lots of weight and their eyes are opening. There will be even bigger changes by three weeks.
Wow!!! Where did the time go?? Sassy is 12 weeks old today and it was a BIG day. A trip to the vet for 12 week shots and micro-chip. Sassy was very brave and enjoyed the treats she received. Today was also the day for getting registered with the AKC–her formal name is Absolutely Affinity Take No Lip. Fun little girl with a mind of her own, but isn’t that the way with most Bichons?
What do you give a puppy for her week 11 birthday?? Well Sassy got a bath, a little hair trim, and a pedicure–all of which she really didn’t think she needed or liked! Dena came and trimmed Sassy up a bit and cut her nails (it’s much easier with 2 people to hang on to a not to cooperative wiggly pup). Then Sassy got a trip to Sue’s house to see Sue, Bob, Willow and Flo Jo and a run in Sue’s dog area. Sassy’s day kept improving with a run in the dog area when she got home and a nice bowl of dog food for dinner–followed by a nap.
