What a difference a few days makes. The pups are building muscle and are becoming pretty active within the confines of their whelping pool. I've noticed the first few attempts at play and full fledged barking from a couple of them. And I'm not talking little puppy barks.... I'm talking some surprisingly serious barks. They continue to work on their walking skills and are slowly gaining some coordination. They'll sit briefly and just look around intrigued I'm sure by their newly acquired sight. For the most part though, they continue to sleep when they aren't busy feasting. Majestic is just beginning to lengthen her time away from them but only slightly. Even so, when she's not paws on, she's generally got an eye one them. She's an awesome, obviously concerned an protective mom! I'm looking forward to the next couple weeks and I'm gearing up to assume the role of primary caregiver... a role Jess seems reluctant to give up. That, I assume will soon change!
