Big Changes

The whelping box has seen several big changes in the last few days. The most exciting is that the puppies can now see. Their eyes opened up on Friday.

The second big event is that they are starting to get up on their feet and move around. They still are pretty wobbly, but they are trying. Fortunately these two events coincided. Last year they started walking before they could see and it wasn't very pretty.

The third big change is that the puppies have some new friends. Miss Pig, Mr. Frog and The Duck are back and now residing in the whelping box. The puppies immediately started crawling all over them and cuddling up to them to fall asleep.

Here are a some pictures from the last few days.


PRS was the first to open her eyes and the first to stand. She was also the first born.



I tried to get some shots of the puppies on their feet. They aren't able to stand for very long so it is not an easy task.




This photo shows why they are just now standing up. Not much clearance between that belly and the ground. They need to grow some longer legs ASAP.



They are standing ...... and then they are falling.



The puppies enjoying their new friends.







Notice they even have "The Duck" sleeping on it's back.
