Happy Saturday everyone..

Pups are doing great and I just weighed them again and they are all over 3 1/2 lbs some are up in the 3 lbs 10 oz range..Their weight gain will start slowing down as they are up and more mobile. We have changed the flooring in their box to more of a fleece type material so they can get used to different feels on the baby feet.  They are starting to get interested in what mom is eating and drinking..So I sat in the box with them today and showed each one what a little bit of water is some lapped a couple times, a couple decided it was fun to try to snorkel...others just smelt it and laid back down. They are getting hot during the day the past couple of days b/c it is almost 80 degrees and they haven't learned how to pant at this age..Sometimes depending on how hot they get we either put them on the cool tile and they "frog dog" it or we add some nice ice packs wrapped in washclothes so we they can sleep on the packs. There ears are now all open and when they hear a loud part in the movie they start barking and looking around. They know exactly when mom is back in the box and they all run to her and nurse. They are now starting to bite (well gum) each other and starting to growl. The fun is just now beginning. The webcam will be on tonight for a little while...
