Day 12 Two Eyes Open

First born has his eyes open today.

Second born is a girl and she has her eyes open too. You will see in the gallery.

Everyone is gaining weight. I sound like a broken record.It takes about a week after eyes open to try to walk and to interact with each other. Their eyes are blurry when the 1st open much like when you have your eyes tested and get drops in them but it does getting clearer by the day.

Sometimes when their eyes are open they react to you as if to say who the hey are you but these 2 were laid back and I find each time I hold them, they seem to be fascinated and look and look.

I did try to get on video these 2 with their eyes open.

11 Days Old

Here is the gallery.

As the oldest, each day (ok I fib - many times) I check for eyes opening. It is silly but I love milestones. oooh spoke too soon. They are starting to have slits in their eyes. They are going to open soon. 

Hallie is such a chill mom. She had a puppy fussing and I was grooming. I went in to check out what was wrong. I did see on the ipad that it was far from the rest and these pups like snuggles. As I walk in the room, Hallie is literally pushing her lone pup over to the pileup. I wish I had a video of it as it was so funny. The puppy did stop fussing so she knew.

All pups are gaining nicely. 

Check out the videos.

10 Days Old

Here is the gallery.

Can't believe we are on day 10. We are officially on watching for eyes to open. Care to guess what day that will be?

The pups also need their nails done but I am so far behind, I wouldn't be able to take photos so I told Nathan tomorrow, please.

Pups are all gaining and I may go down to weighing each morning vs twice a day. We shall see. You weight them twice a day to catch any issues with weight gain. So far, they are gaining across the board well. 

Check out the videos. I am slacking on those too but each time I feel guilty, I take another video.

9 Days Old

Here is the gallery.

Pups are edging up on that age where we start looking at their eyes to see when they will open. Nathan and I play a game of who will the pups see first and sometimes it is Dennis. LOL

I am not sure why it is so important but it is. When their eyes open, it takes 24 to 48 hours to go from blurry to clear so why be the 1st?

Still, we wait and get excited. Each milestone is one to celebrate and we do.

Videos coming soon. I am such a slacker but busy grooming. It gets me behind.

What is the next milestone since birth? Their eyes will open and they will begin to hear. In a couple of days, we will be on watch to see when they will open. This will be a fun milestone.

All pups are doing really well. 

Videos are up. I will post as I take.
