Picture from
Birth-Day
Pictures from Week 1
These pics were taken when they were about a week old. The pups have at least doubled
their birth weight. They're making valiant attempts at walking.
The pigment for the nose and foot pads is darkening. And the eye slits
are becoming better defined. Eyes and ears will open within the next
week, so they will begin to respond to light and sound.

Pictures from Week 3
Our eyes are (mostly) open. Ears should be open in a few days.
We're responding to light and will soon be able to focus on things.
And we're making increasingly more successful attempts at walking.
Pretty soon we'll be trotting all over the place. And we
Looooooooooooooooove to be held. And cuddled. Our volunteer
"puppy huggers" are getting their puppy fix big time. We still spend
most of our time sleeping, but even then we're moving constantly. (We
dream about chasing bunnies -- even though we have no clue what a "bunny"
is!)

Pictures from Week 5
WOW! Trying to keep up with these guys is a challenge. They are
growing so fast. And they are entertaining sometimes more than 50
humans per WEEK! Lots of activity. Responding to being called.
Trying to escape the whelping area. And they LOOOOOOOVE to cuddle.
And have bellies rubbed. Getting into real food. And tearing
around with blinding speed (relatively speaking!). If you're gonna
visit don't wait. 'Cuz soon they will be off to their new homes. Click on the

Pictures from Week 7
Wow, do we look different from 7 weeks ago! We put on our best furs
for our formal portraits so we can impress the people we're going to live
with. Here we are, give-or-take at about 6 pounds, doing our "cute
thing". We're gonna miss romping with one another, but we're
told there's a lot of love where we're going. Maybe we'll get back
together at a reunion some day. Thanks, "Mom", ya done good! Click on the

Pictures from
Week 8 and Beyond
We're heading out into the world with our new families. Lots of love
here, you can see it in the eyes of the humans we have adopted. We're
looking forward to lots of hugs, and walks, and snuggles, and retrieving
anything our sharp eyes see out there. We'll miss our litter mates,
but we're sure our families will introduce us to other puppies at classes,
in our neighborhoods and as we venture out to new opportunities beyond our
imaginations. Hopefully some day we'll see our brothers and sisters,
and Mom, and lots of other relatives, at a Reunion. Til then, we love
you all.
