Weights and Weekly Photos

Hello all...  I finally got new weights posted and some photos uploaded on the puppy pages. I even remembered to take my camera when visiting Purple today.  Unfortunately though, it seems the timing of my photo shoot caught most of pups during nap time this week. Some are better than others but none are really great.  Hopefully next week the pups will be a bit more wakeful, a tad more photogenic and I'll have better luck.  Your pups are getting more active each day and if the weather holds, they'll have their first outdoor adventure next week. The great outdoors seems to really bring them to life!  Awakens the senses... The 4th week brings dramatic changes.  They'll begin to sleep a lot less, interact a lot more and start to become fun. At this point, they acknowledge me and watch me when I'm close but the only thing that really seems to get them riled up is when mom is near and doesn't join them in the whelping pool. They can certainly make their displeasure known at times but they're good pups and are pretty quite in general.  They're still sleeping a lot and growing.... but....  I'm starting to see the beginnings of play, though short lived, in the form of gnawing and pawing each other as well as "real" barking.  I'm also starting to get a glimpse of individual personalities. As far as the weights go, in comparing this litter to those of the past, these are some large pups...  with the exception of one.  It seems they're taking full advantage of getting her share.
