2 Weeks Old

More pups have opened their eyes but I won't be putting up the individual shots till tonight as I need Nathan to hold while I click. If I can talk Dennis into it, it may be earlier.
As you can see, 1st born is on his back. Each will do that at various times but this is a position of trusting its environment. All the pups in both litters seem to be very comfortable and love to be held.
I am pleased with both sets of pups.
They are gaining still but this will slow down once they are burning more calories with walking and play and they will start playing more soon. They become more aware of each other beyond snuggling and the interaction begins. It has already started with this crew but it will increase as their eyesight gains clarity. You see when their eyes and ears 1st open it takes time to gain clarity - usually a few days with each day improving over the last. Later today, I will create a loud noise to see if they react. That will tell me if their ears are open. I will use a vacuum or something to test this. I vacuum the area daily so this is a normal ritual for the moms but not for the pups as their hearing has been closed. Everything that they can see and hear will be new to them.
Be sure to check out the shorts. Plus the main directory of the videos here.

I love the pup on his back. I predict he will grow into the calmest one. ❤️
