Been a VERY busy day but I finally am able to now post Tate's three week olds!!!

Black Boy is the heaviest at the moment. He is 3 1/2+ lbs. at 3 weeks.

Green Boy is 3 1/4 lbs. at 3 weeks.

Blue Boy looks very similar to his brother Keefer. He weighs 3 lbs. at 3 weeks.

GH Keefer (Yellow Boy) weighs 3 1/2 lbs. at 3 weeks.

GH Haddie McGee (Purple Girl) is 2 1/2 lbs. at 3 wks.

Tate's pups have grown by leaps and bounds! The two to three week growth spurt is a huge one as they go from crawling semi newborns to little doggies in a matter of days.  They see and hear well now, feel temperature and environmental changes and are getting more curious.

In this short span of time, they have explored (and used) the litter box, adapted to the shade 'porch' of the kitchen playpen, listened to the annoying city sounds tape and are learning about their home. It is a big world out there and their journey through it has just begun.

I have posted pics of what their weekly development has been like reaching their third week of life. of them interacting with each other and learning how to move their bodies and mouths, as well as their single pics of celebrating their third milestone.  :+)  It appears that both Keefer and Haddie McGee have guardian homes.

Tate has been a perfect first time mom.

This is the 'porch' in the kitchen. It is directly under the fan and on
hot afternoons, when the pup room gets too hot, I move them here.

Blue and Yellow sleeping together in the 'porch'.

Now these three are having some sort of conversation on the 'porch'.

They are interacting with each other now - notice someone did potty in the litter box!

Hattie (purple girl) holds her own against Keefer (yellow boy).

Sometimes litter boxes become extensions of their play area. It works.  :+)
