Updates

Thought I'd give some new puppy updates. Tanya will be over tomorrow to do some updated shots since I've killed all my batteries in the last few days. They are now 14 days old and starting to show personality...and stink! Yes puppy breath but also...puppy poo!

Updated puppy weights as of 1/21/09

Tan - 2lbs, 10 oz
Pink - 1lb, 13 oz
Black, 2 lbs, 13 oz
Blue - 15 oz

Black and Tan keep leap-frogging in the battle of who will be the biggest boy!

Blue is barely coming up on a lb....yes he's that much smaller than them!

At this point, Tan is the most aggressive and independent. He was the most fiesty during nail clippings and the first to growl. Black is much more mellow. Both boys are fairly independent and nurse like there's no tomorrow.

Blue remains Cindy's favorite and the only one she still carries around. He's always at her feet or attached to her. Today he fell asleep while nursing which was immensely cute!

Pink holds her own on all grounds with the boys. She still hasn't developed any tendency either way.

Black reminded me a lot of Dasher Senior this morning because he spent about 90 seconds trying to roll onto his feet and was groaning in frustration that he couldn't figure it out. It might be early to call but I think he's going to be "pretty but dumb" (or "pretty dumb!") like his Uncle.

Something about Blue...aka Peanut...has a lot of people wondering when he will catch up. Head type, markings and and structure look nice...just not a lotta bone. By far he appears to have the best angulation in the stifle. Its going to be interesting to see where he ends up at 8 wks.

Black was the first to open his eyes today (finally!) but hasn't quite committed to it yet. He peaks out from one eye here and there. Perhaps too bright for him! I'm anxiously awaiting seeing all their little eyes open up in the next few days. They have been blind/deaf up until now so it should be interesting to see how their personalities develop as their bodies develop.


Thats all for now......
