It's hard to believe two weeks have flown by!
The pups are all over 2 lbs now. They gain rapidly at this point, approximately one pound per week!
All the puppies are progressing to walking and climbing (mostly each other).
Their eyes are open when they are awake.

Week Three Update
Thrilling to say the least. Watching the pups begin to interact and play is amazing! All pups weigh in at over 3 lbs.
We are starting to allow family members to handle the pups in a safe way, to acustom them to future family life.
The pups are on a de-worming program as is their Mom.
They are getting their teeth in!

4 Week Update
BIG CHANGES is all I can say. The Puppies at 4 weeks are beginning to have more individual features. They are showing individual personalities too! They romp and play hard, eat their "puppy mush" energetically, and sleep soundly. Their diet consists of Taste of the Wild 32% protein kibble (ground) (no wheat, no grain, no soy) with cooked sweet potatoes, fresh goat milk, raw hamburger and probiotics.
The pups SEEK out people, they want to be with us more than anything. They hang out with us while we cook dinner, read, and watch TV with us! They are the main attraction for all who visit. We love puppy socialization!
(NOTE to New Puppy owners...
Pups will be available for pick-up around Thanksgiving time.)

5 Week Update
Five week old puppies are a BLAST to watch. They are playful most of the time. The pups are trying new things, they have 'toys' and obstacles to manuever in their play area.
They play hard, eat and then C-R-A-S-H !

Six Weeks Update
Six Weeks is HUGE! The pups are growing quickly at this stage. They play energetically, as they via for their rank in the family.
The pups are Amazing!
They are already potty training in the playpen area with linoleum flooring, and so smart! They hop the wall back into the hay area to go when they feel the urge.

Seven Week Update
AWWWW! TOO CUTE! SO ADORABLE! That's what we hear constantly when folks are visiting us. The kids are all about interacting with the beautiful and bouncy puppies! The pups are SO tollerant!
The Young ones are adopting their own personality and style now, some are more laid back, some more energetic, but all are Athletic, Friendly and Fun! We have evaluated the pups for Tempermant and Sociability with Puppy Aptitude Testing. I am happy to report they all passed with flying colors! This litter is very consistent.
The tests will help us immensely when assisting new puppy owners in selecting their puppy.

Eight Week Update
Unbelievable. The last 8 weeks are a blur of fun and fur. We can't believe it is time to say so long, these puppies feel like our family. It is bitter-sweet, as we see the excited faces of our new puppy clients comming in the door.
At first it feels like we are decreasing, but we are extending our family for sure.
More pics to come when we can tear ourselves away. (sigh)
