I am actually surprised that they can move at all given their pudgy bellies, but they indeed do. They have also found their voices, eyes have opened and they moved to the pup room! A lot in just one week of development. I had to improvise to get them in there but in a few days time, they will take over a more spacious pen. Right now they are in a perfect temporary space and have acclimated very quickly as all is quiet. :+)
Once Camden's litter comes back from their surgeries, it will be interesting to see how much that will impact them. It was certainly time, as they outgrew the 'nursery' space and Hazel is here to have her litter this week. One litter going home and another arriving. Talk about timing!

| Orange Boy is a 'Caramel' not an Apricot and his eyes will be green and his pigment liver colored. Weighs 3.11 lbs! |

| Georgie girl is spot on at exactly 3 lbs. |
Tillie continues to nurse them extremely well and hasn't missed a beat. She is attentive but not neurotic and I thank her for that.
Now that I have moved them to a space in the pup room, I included a potty area for them to 'think about' using. By doing it so early, it helps stimulate them to eat in the 'dining room' but eliminate in the 'bathroom'. It has always worked for me with patience and persistence.
