Tillie's babies are five weeks old today!

The three chubs are playing, mouthing each other, drinking from the Lixit Water Bottle and beginning to experiment with 'real' food. Still prefer mom but give us a few more days and they will be chowing down food and wanting more.

Since I am beginning the early stages of weaning for Tillie, I keep the gate to the pups closed often so she can't get in. Tillie does not seem to mind at all and loves going outdoors to wrestle with Ranger (Camden's Blue Boy) who is going home to his family on Sunday.

Today, I decided to use one of my car props and a hat on the pups. Naturally, these chunky monkeys did not fit in the car, so they sort of 'draped' over it. At any rate, it contained them enough for me to take pics.  :+)

For those of you waiting for Hazel pics, they will be done at their two week birthday on Thursday - New Year's Day!

Teal boy weighs 5 lbs. and is an amiable chap.

Orange Boy, who will be the heaviest pup in the litter, weighs 5 1/2 lbs. He has a very 'waggy' tail!

Georgie is the smallest at 4 1/2 lbs. and is all girl!
