Baby Steps
3 weeks old this Thursday, they have almost tripled in size and man are they hungry!!!
Eyes fully open they can see when we come to love them. AND, though it’s very wobbly, they are starting to come to greet us. It is way too cute. But they are getting stronger hour by hour it seems because last night they were walking better than they were in the morning.
It’s amazing.
You can hear them barking and growling at one another, trying to learn how to play. Ears are being tugged of a brother or a sister as they wrestle with one another. Something my boys and I can watch for hours.
It is so funny to watch them nurse. Diving into Takara to try and secure a nipple before someone else gets it. Feet are in the air, and sometimes they lose balance and roll to the bottom of the puppy pile, having to start again. If they don’t get enough from mom, they’ve taken to trying to nurse off my chin when I pick them up to cuddle them. Needless to say, they have been started on pabulum, and getting the hang of that quite nicely.
I had to move them yesterday out to the big kennel. They no longer fit in the kennel in the bedroom comfortably, and no longer need to be watched as closely. It was wonderful to get 2 -3 hours of solid sleep at a time last night before someone needed me, LOL.

I will post more pictures in their album later today so you can see how much they have grown.
