As you can see, these pups are starting to look like little doggies! It's kind of hard to catch them in action because they continue to sleep the majority of the time. Eat sleep and repeat. That's their life right now. I reviewed and compared the weights of the last litter to this and it seems these guys are right on target. Skye seems to be slacking to me but I guess she's doing what she needs to with her kids. She does seem to spend considerably more time on my bed rather than with her pups. As long as they're growing and thriving I'm ok with that. Not too much I could do about it I guess if I weren't. I generally introduce my pups to mash around 4 weeks but can start them a little earlier if need be. Kind of up to my girl how things go forward from here. I think she appreciated me taking the needle sharp tips off the pups nails. Seems a little more inclined to hang with them since so I'll keep an eye on them and maybe clip them a little more frequently than I normally do. I guess all dogs are different too, and like human moms they have different ideas of the best way to mother. Will be interesting to see what kind of a disciplinarian she is when they start getting rambunctious. She has kind of a funny look to her in a couple of these pictures when Yellow comes up to snuggle around her head. She's looking at her like "now what do you think you're doing"? And look at Red go! Scaling her back like a big dog! Right before he fell over and slid down her side! They're a joy to watch.
So... I bet you guys have been wondering what happened to the promised slide show! I got a late start on it this evening and then things were loading ridiculously slow. I think sometimes the server gets bogged down. Probably overloaded today from people celebrating the holiday and taking the day off from anything that resembled work yesterday. In any event I finally got 'er done. I also sent out invoices today for the agreed upon second deposits so keep an eye out for those coming your way via Paypal.
