Figgy's babies are THREE weeks old, time has flown!

These babies have their eyes open but still have a bluish film on them which will go away very soon. They bark, or rather mewl when hungry or frightened; sometimes they sound like a siren when truly unhappy - yikes! They are gaining very well and are even using the litter box with a pee pad in it - good boys and girls.  :+)

Figgy continues to mother them well and is protective if Tate's pups get too near, so I am very careful to be sure Tate's pups are in their pen behind a locked gate before letting Figgy in to nurse - revolving doors around here.

This coming week will have a huge evolution - from that neonatal to little dog stage. Then the fun pics start. 

Lime Girl at 3 weeks is 3 lbs.

Teal Boy at 3 weeks is 3 3/4 lbs.

Peach Girl at 3 weeks is 4 lbs.

Red Boy at 3 weeks is 3 lbs.

Lilac Girl at three weeks is 3 3/4 lbs.

  2. Thank you for the compliments, now picture taking will get REALLY interesting because both litters are going to be 'full 'o'beans' on the next picture day. I better start training for the triathalons to keep up. :+)
