Keeping busy and getting caught up... The slide show below is compiled from photos I took a couple days ago. Pretty well describes the life in the day of a 3 week old GMBD pup. Ritz remains attentive to their needs but like clockwork, she's spending less time in the box and more on my bed. The pups are filling their days sleeping, harassing each other and eating when the opportunity presents itself.
They've yet to lose their Roman noses but that should be occurring soon. And their eyes, as you can see, still have somewhat of a cloudy appearance and the third eyelid at the corners still pretty obvious. Completely normal as they're still developing. Their sight actually remains poor for quite a while. I use that to my advantage during photo sessions when they're 5-6 weeks old. Beyond that, they become quite good at keeping me within sight and are able to keep up as I try and gain some distance between them and the camera. Seems the challenge of not loosing track of me serves to solidify their inherent Velcro nature.
You'll see some new tabs under the Newbies tab which I added today. Each pup now has an individual page and will have weekly entries added. Sometimes I open them at 3 weeks... and sometimes 4. Often when I do a photo shoot at 3 weeks all I get is a bunch of sleeping, or nearly sleeping pups. This is a pretty active group. None of them settled in for a snooze in the basket I used for this weeks prop.
