Puppies 5 Weeks Old

The puppies will be 5 weeks old on Sunday (August 1) and over the last 2 weeks there have been many changes (I actually have pictures from when they turned 4 weeks, but had lots of difficulty posting to the blog page, so in frustration I gave up!).Above is the female–eyes wide open, hearing, playing with her littermate and toys and being a puppy.  Hair is growing rapidly (there might be a bath and haircut in the near future) and she has a few teeth starting to show up (the reason for the little bit of staining under her eyes)Above is the male and favorite “play toy” of the female.   The 2 pups wrestle often and play with their toys.  Both pups have started on puppy mousse and soon mashed up kibble.  This little guy is just starting to “cut” teeth.   Both pups are very close in weight–some days one weighs more than the other, but that can change the next day.  Over the last 2 weeks the pups personalities are starting to show–you can really spend a lot of time watching these 2 and not get much done–but it’s worth it!!!
