Pictures from Week 2
WOW! How we have grown in just 11 days! Mom's feeding
us that high-octane food and we're all bulking up. Good healthy stuff.
Notice our "eye spots" which is nature's way of tricking predators into
thinking we're staring them down. Actually our eyes (and ears) will
not be open for about another week or so. We're trying to walk, but
those heads are oh, so heavy. Coats are great and we're gearing up for
choir practice when we tell mom that it's time for the lunch truck. Give us
another week or so and we'll be scooting about.

Pictures from Week 4
We can see! We can hear! We can walk! And we're even
beginning to use our special potty area, so we don't mess up the whole
whelping room. We've discovered our tunnel. We've discovered
that it's cooler to sleep on the tile than on the pad. We've
discovered that there is a whole new world of things to chew! We'd
discover a gazillion OTHER things in this house if they'd just take down
that blasted gate! We like our bellies to be rubbed, and we LOVE it
when we are snuggled by those large creatures with opposable thumbs.

Growing! Between the high-octane fuel they get from Mom, and their
ventures into eating real honest dog food, these guys are definitely
thriving. Weighing in between 7 and 9 pounds apiece. All systems
functioning great. And they LOVE when someone comes to visit.
Starting to show some definite behavior and personality traits. Did we
mention they like W-A-T-E-R? Click on the

Pictures from Week 7
The kids put on their best fur coats to sit for their "formal" portraits.
And this week they all went to see the Eye Doctor for their checkup.
Running around and having a glorious time. They LOVE to lie belly down
on the cool grass after the sprinkler is shut off on these hot and humid
days. Spending their last precious moments with Mom and their brothers
and sisters. Word has it that they're about to embark on some new and
exciting adventures.
