This has been a good week, spent watching puppies get bigger and fatter, enjoying every chance to cuddle them and smell their
sweet breath. Tutu has continued to be a wonderful mama, keeping them clean and well-fed. She licks them so thoroughly, we
gave up on keeping ribbons on the black pups.
| Cute pups, milk comas. |
|
| Still doing a lot of eating & sleeping - not much else! |
| Lunch time! Pretty Tutu and her 2-wk-olds, |
|
| having some yummies! |
| Girl 6 decided Boy 1 had a pretty good spot, |
|
| and he even makes a good pillow. I can't believe he stayed! |
| Getting settled in their new digs in the dog room. |
|
| Tutu isn't sure she likes the other dogs sniffin' around, at first. |
|
 |
The first one to start opening eyes was the boy, at 15 days. The "stacked" photos were actually taken at 17 days, by which
time all of them were peeking at the world. On their 18th day, we set up the puppy pen and moved them into the dog room. Soon,
they'll be toddling around and playing!
| Girls 4 and 3 on our daughter-in-law's lap, |
|
| with grandma Mazie looking on (nose at the lower right)! |
| Boy 1 got filled up and crawled off for a nap. |
|
| Is that REALLY comfortable? I guess so! |
| The whole gang at two weeks: |
|
| 2 at the top, 1, 3, & 4 in the middle, and 6 at the bottom. |
| First puppy meal in the big-dog room! |
|
| Tutu settled down quickly. We told her the others couldn't get in the puppy pen. |
|
|
And now the sort-of posed photos -
| Pup 1, boy |
|
| Too sleepy to even try standing up. |
| Pup 2, girl |
|
| Squirmy!!! |
| Pup 3, girl |
|
| So sweet, and also almost standing! |
| Pup 4, girl |
|
| She was looking at Dad! |
| Pup 6, girl |
|
| She was leaning into my hand - so adorable! |
|
of floppy baby puppies!
| Let's see that neat chest blaze! |
|
| "Can I go back to bed now?" |
| She's almost standy-uppy! |
|
| Such a pretty girlie! |
| Pup 3 did not want to look at Daddy - |
|
| or maybe it was the camera flash that put her off! |
| I love her color - sort of a golden-red-black. |
|
| I wonder how she'll look grown up! |
| Here's almost lookin' at you, kid! |
|
| Pups 6 and 4 don't quite have their eyes all the way open, but they have a good start! |
