Another week has come and gone! It just keeps doing that no matter what I think it should do ;)
Dotty's babies are a BLAST & have just turned 4 weeks old! They're curious, spunky little things. They just had thier first meal of puppy formula yesterday. They've got a mouthful of teeth now. They're barking when something startles them or in play. Speaking of play they love to play with eachother and chew on one another.
Sadies babies are also playful and spunky but more with eachother than us at the moment... in a few days or so they'll be into everything like the other puppies. I'm certainly not going to rush them ;) They've just turned 3 weeks old.
I'm planning on taking Dotty's babies for thier first trip outside later this week if the weather will cooperate & be warm enough. I always love to watch them play and explore outside :0)

Tonight the babies (Dotty's) had thier first "meal," puppy formula. You always know it's time to start feeding them something else besides Mommas milk when they start thinking her food smells good. They thought it was fabulous :0) Again tried to get video, again it's dark. You'd think we lived in a dungeon?! Also a couple clips of the little darlings running around :0)

FINALLY got some video of the puppies and wouldn't you know it that each and EVERYONE of them were almost to dark to use! I'm going to figure that out tomorrow! Such a bummer. Anyhoo.... the puppies are getting to that fun age where they are enjoying interacting with us and are getting playful. Dotty's babes are "running" around and playing with each other and venturing out from their safe space with Mom. After they're done playing they all crawl in my lap for a puppy nap :0) I don't know what's better: playing with them or enjoying them while they sleep in my lap. It's all wonderful :0)
Sadie's babies are starting to play with each other but haven't decided to venture out just yet but in the next few days all that will change.

still on the go :)
Below is a short clip of Sadie's babes... I'm so sorry it's so dark :( If it was better you'd be able to see them walking around and playing.

The babies on Thanksgiving... it was so nice to come home and play with them after a nice day with family :0)

The puppies are doing GREAT! Growing and changing so much since they were born a few short weeks ago. Short for me, long for those of you who are waiting for your puppy to come home to you ;)
Dotty's litter (Charlie, Winston, Camille & Harvey) are just so darn cute! They're scooting around now. It'd kind of an army crawl. They're so low to the ground. Anyhoo.... thier ears opened up and they can hear now so when they hear us thier ears perk up and they look around. They've also started playing with eachother which is hilarious! Also are wagging thier cute little tails :0) Precious! There's not enough adjectives to describe the babies. Dotty is such a good Momma although now that he puppies are almost 3 weeks she's starting to feel better about going out for a potty break and doing a little extra sniffing around before coming back in to tend to her babes.
Sadies litters (Taffy, Pearl, Duncan, Bentley, Paisley & Cole) eyes have just started opening. They're so cute but so funny looking at the moment. Some of them have just 1/2 an eye open while others have 1 eye completly open. Cute all the same. They're such cute fat little things. Sadie is doing great and taking great care of her babies as well. She's not to the point where she wants to dink around outside. It's all business for her right now.... Go potty and get back in to the babies.
I tried to take video of the puppies yesterday and my memory card has something wrong with it so I'll try to remember to get a new one this week. I'll also get the puppies 2 & 3 week picturs taken Tuesday.

Here's a few short little clips of the babies this morning. Sorry for how dark the video. Momma decided that she wanted to have the puppies in the coat closet so there's not a ton of good lighting. They're thriving and are such nice fat, wrinkly little things. They just turned a week old yesterday. I can never believe how quickly the time passes.
Little squeaky babies, trying to get situated while Mom is on a potty break :0) Pay no attention to the washing machine noise in the background ;)
I will get better video in the next few days of these little guys :0) Stay tuned ;0)

First before I get into what a fun week this has been with the puppies I want to apologize to everyone for the lack of pictures and videos. I have more candids to upload as well as a few videos. I'm hoping to get them uploaded by the weekend for all of you waiting so patiently for updates. Life's been MEGA busy over here.
The puppies, it seems almost overnight have changed so much. Hopping, jumping, running, growling in thier own cute puppy way, chewing on eachother and of course the one getting chewed on protests pretty good. It hurts i'm sure. Puppy teeth are SHARP!
Momma is spending less them in the pool with them and spends more time on her soft doggie bed or hanging out with us. She still is doing an exceptional job of caring for them she just doesn't appreciate thier teeth either ;0)
Puppies are eating a puppy/mush mixture 3 times a day now and they LOVE it! Such little eaters! They also had their first few bites of chicken today. It didn't take them any time to figure that one out! Tails were wagging. It was sooo cute!
They sooooo enjoy thier outside play time. Romping around in the sunshine and snoozin' in the shade is how they like to spend their outside time.
I've introduced them to toys and they love dragging those around. Pretty soon they'll start playing tug-o-war and stealing them from eachother.
I've been clipping their nails a couple times a week, they're pros at it :0)

I keep trying to get video of the babies playing but everytime I do they come and crawl in my lap so this is the best I've gotten so far. Don't they make the CUTEST sounds! Notice Lily is using my camera for teething... I didn't realize that until I watched this... little stinker!

~3 weeks old~
Today the babies turned 3 weeks old! Wow! Times just flying by and they are changing so much and sooooo fast! They are walking around much better now. They are playing with eachother, chewing on eachother and wagging their cute little tails!! Their teeth are coming in and they are loving to use eachother as a teething device. Momma won't be tolerating their sharp little teeth much longer I don't think.
They also had another trip outside today. The weather was just gorgeous today. They seem to be adjusting quite fast to it. They were licking the grass it was so cute!

Today was the puppies first trip outside. I loaded them into a laundry basket and Momma followed me to the backyard. Once we got out there she laid in the sun and watched them from about 3 feet way. I think she enjoyed the break. Of course as you can imagine the puppies are never thrilled with thier first trip outside to a new "world" but after the next time or two they will be loving it! Sniffing, romping and playing. Today was just a short trip, about 10 minutes. I knew they had, had thier fill of the great outdoors when they crawled into my lap and were ready for a nappy nap.
~2 weeks old~
I am always amazed by how quickly time flies with the babies and how quickly they grow and develop! In just the last short week thier eyes have started opening and they've started "cruising" around now that they can 1/2 way see where they're going. To bad for Momma eventually she won't be able to escape thier sharp little puppy teeth! Speaking of Momma she continues to do a great job of caring for her little ones, making sure they're always fed and clean. She's such a sweet girl. Love her to pieces! Anyway they're all doing great and growing like little weeds and are just as cute as can be! I've been clipping thier toenails every few days in the hopes that they will be accustom to it as they get older and not be stinkers about it. First baths will be coming soon I suppose and will follow every week until they head off to their new homes.

~Their favorite past-time~
~One week old~
The babies have changed so much this week. Even in just the first few days they changed alot! They've really started to fill out and are looking like such nice healthy, chubby babies. Their life consists of eating, sleeping, eating some more and yep... even more sleeping. They make some of the sweetest sounds imaginable and have the yummiest puppy breath!
Mom does an amzing job of caring for them and making sure they're clean and fed. She's also doing great and has an amzing appetite.
The coming week will bring yet bigger changes for the puppies because their eyes should start to open around days 10-14, give or take a few.
Be sure to check back here often for updates on the puppies growth and development along with videos.
