The A Litter is 4 Weeks Old

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

Today the A Litter turned 4 weeks old. Everyone is doing well and they are getting so big! Charlie has really grown this past week and he is the heaviest puppy weighing almost a full pound more than his brother Red. Every day now I try to introduce something new to the puppies as they [...]

Pupdate at 23 days

Friday, January 5th, 2007

It has been back to work this week after the holidays. I sure got spoiled being able to spend all day with the puppies. They are so fun to watch. It is easy to spend too much time with them and neglect the chores. Except the laundry, that is. The washing machine here has been [...]

Pupdate at 18 days

Sunday, December 31st, 2006

The A Litter is 18 days old today. The puppies are really going through a fun stage where they are becoming aware of the world around them and at the same time learning how to walk around and control their little bodies. The past few days have seen lots of “firsts”; the first eyes to [...]

The A Litter at Day 16

Friday, December 29th, 2006

The pups were pretty active this morning. Everyone was alert and moving around the box checking out their surroundings. Red was in a playful mood, and tried to pick a fight with a stuffed toy. That not working, he went after brother Charlie instead. At this age, “fighting” is limited to a little mouthing and [...]

The Pups’ First Christmas

Tuesday, December 26th, 2006

Yesterday was the A Litter’s first Christmas! All four have their eyes open now. The ears are beginning to open as well and the pups will respond to sudden loud sounds. Miss Orange is the curious one right now. Her eyes are the most developed and she is starting to explore her surroundings. The pups [...]

Red’s eyes are opening today. He is also the pup that gets around the whelping box the best. He shakily gets up on all four legs to walk around while the others still do more crawling along with their front ends and haven’t quite mastered the 4 legged coordination they need yet.
Charlie likes to [...]

The Eyes are Beginning to Open

Friday, December 22nd, 2006

I was weighing the pups tonight and I noticed that Miss Orange’s eyes have just started to open. They were not that way earlier this evening. She is the first, and so far only one, to show any signs of eyes opening. The rest will be opening over the next couple of days. That means [...]
