One Week Old

Here is the gallery.

As you will see in the gallery, one of the pups is sleeping on her back - a gal. The boy is often seen in this position but he has a fat tummy so I gather that position may be more comfortable. He will slim out as he grows and walks. 

The one gal is a chocolate, as I suspected. She has brown spots vs black on her pads. She also has red overtones in her. It is going to be interesting how this crew develops.

Everyone continues to gain. These pups melt into your hands when you hold them. It is hard to explain but it is as if they go, ah that feels good. Usually they stiffen up as their eyes are closed and they don't know what is going on or they wriggle a great deal (that is why we condition them) but this crew delights in the snuggles. I want to hold them all day due to this reaction. As their eyes open up and they can see, the reaction is wagging tails and hey let's play. These are all normal development. It is unusual for them to melt and trust the environment without eyes and ears open but they do!

Be sure to check out the shorts. Plus the main directory of the videos here.
