We moved into the puppy room today at 2.3 weeks. (update)

The comforts of home.
Green Boy is checking out the new digs.
All snug.
Mom visits often and keeps the babes clean as a whistle.

I kept contemplating when I would make this move as a change of locations can cause some stress now that their eyes are open and they are beginning to see shadows.  However, the new move went smoothly with no distress at all.  Pearl took to the new location effortlessly as well and is quite content to now be able to come and go outside as she pleases using the dogie door.

The pups are in a clothe crate that has webbing on the sides and top so that light filters in.  At night, I will put a blanket over most of it to prevent drafts.  Radiant heating coils keep the floor level nice and toasty.

Update:  This morning the pups were on Pearl's bed, not in the crate.  During the night Pearl must have felt cramped in the crate and decided to move her babies to the 'luxury suite' side of her area.  I found them lounging on Pearl's cushion.  Pearl had to have carried them there because they cannot walk yet.  It was such a surprise for me!  They seem to be quite happy, so I let it be.

  6. She is a very attentive mommy. Always checking and rechecking her babies. Today, I took the crate out and put a 'dogie bed' in with a potty box. The pups are walking (wobbling) now and I like to intro the potty box idea as early as possible. Crates will be brought back in as soon as they are stronger on their feet and can climb in and out easily. I am always juggling! :+)
