Starting to see a little personality pop from the little monsters. They're getting around better each day and have begun to gnaw and paw each other. it's generally an attack by one without retaliation from the other but it's a glimpse of what's to come. I caught one mid bark just for you Nancy! Ask and you shall receive! Within reason of course :-) You have to find him though... looks like he could be howling but they haven't started that yet. They're actually becoming somewhat entertaining at times but continue to sleep the bulk of the time. Short bursts of energy followed by lengthy periods of lethargy! Majestic goes in once in a while to check on them and then hops right back out which never fails to get them moving. I'm starting to wonder if she's just doing it to tease them. I ordered their Esbilac last night from Chewy and will introduce that to their diet as soon as I wrap up my work week. I generally wait until they're 4 weeks of age but it seems to me Majestic spends less time nursing with each litter. I guess she knows what she's doing. They're fat and active so I'm not worried but I have a feeling they're running light compared to some previous pups of the same age. With the exception of White that is. I nick named him Tubbs last night as I watched him sleep. To look at them from a distance, with White being the exception,the boys appear to be roughly about the same size and the girls about the same as each other but it's pretty obvious at the point which are boys and which are girls. The exception of the girls... Purple. She's a little bigger than her girl counterparts and I assume keeping up with the smallest of the boys as far as weights go. It's been a week since I've weighed them so they're due. Hopefully I can get it done tonight. If not tonight -then after work tomorrow. We'll see how close my observations come to reality. I mentioned chewy earlier in the post. A plug for them. I do a lot of shopping on Chewy.com. Reasonable prices and better than excellent customer service. If you've not yet discovered them I highly recommend you do. Well, that's it for now and I don't expect I'll be posting much for the next few days unless it happens to be weights. Hope you enjoy your weekends. Cheers!

Love it! That precious barking pic made me laugh out loud. Thanks! So fun to see them week by week...you can see their legs getting longer and feet looking a little chunkier. Great update!

Thanks Cathy and you're more than welcome to download any of the photos here for your baby book. I've made some litter books in the past. They were lots of fun to put together and great keepsakes to look back on. Wish time would have allowed me to make one for each litter. That was my intention but then wells broke down, hurricanes threatened, dogs came back and tornados blew through... Had to accept there are only so many hours in a day. And unfortunately, I had to let my goal slip away.

I have been out of town with only my phone so I couldn't check in. Went straight to the computer when I got home. Fun, fun, fun. Love seeing the posts and pictures. Thank you so much for all you do.

So precious! Thank you for all of your hard work! I can always spot white right away and it makes me giggle. We have a sweet female daschund that lives across the street and I can't wait to get pictures of her and our girl together, Ha Ha.
