We have done some minor pen changes to include a potty box in the Pup Room. I actually watched Orange Boy take a poop in it! :+)
The pups are just beginning to 'get up' on their legs and wobble about. In another week they will be much more steady. Most of their eyes are losing the 'blue eyed cast' that pups have when really young. I would expect Orange boy to end up with hazel eyes as that is typical of most Caramels. All the other colors will have brown eyes as they mature.
Towards the end of this week, I will begin to introduce a gruel to see if the pups are interested. It takes a while for them to get the hang of 'slurping' a milk mix but they eventually get it. Then I can take some of the 'feeding pressure' off of Phoebe. She eats very well but feeding eight pups is draining! The fatter the pups get, the skinnier Phoebe gets. Ahhhh...if only that were true for humans, right?? :+)

| Miss Ruby is such an itty bitty but that does not stop her from getting what she needs. |
 |
| Miss Lilac looks like she owns this vehicle! |
 |
| Green Boy barely fit in this prop. A chunk! |
 |
| Miss Black Girl just relaxed. |
 |
| Mr Orange Male is hanging on for dear life! |
 |
| Mr. Brown Male was looking straight at me in this shot. |
 |
| Miss Teal Girl just wanted out. She has things to do, I think! |
 |
| Mr. Blue Male. 'Here's looking at you, kid!' |
 |
| As you can see, the pen is now along the back wall. The left side has a gate and it is open at this time. The plexiglass separator is on top of the back of the potty box to prevent the pups from climbing over. Phoebe has no problem jumping over it when necessary. All the pups are nestled on the right side of the pen. They no longer need the bumper pads or the heat pad that was under the bedding. |
