Everyone's Awake

At almost 3 weeks, Bailey Mae's little "Fun Bunch" have all opened their eyes, and are scrambling around their spacious sunny box...that is, for the short times that they are even awake! We are so happy with these beautiful babies and expect them to be affectionate and sociable, just like their half-brothers and sisters "The Brownie Bites:!

Little Bites

 "The Brownie Bites" are enjoying all of the action in the breakfast nook these days! At three weeks of age, they are starting to wrestle and tumble about more confidently, and are tentatively venturing out of the whelping box...

Twinkie sniffs to catch a whiff of Mama coming back from her outing

After breakfast, the pups are feeling spunky!

  

"Who, me?"

Twinkie and Whoopie Pie venture out quite a way from the box...and have found a treasure! (But, they wonder who it really belongs to and whether they might show up any time soon.)

Organic goat's milk, whole goat yogurt, puppy food, and probiotics--yum!

A more formal meal is served at dinner

Pups get pretty lively when the dinner takes effect on their little brains

Only 3 weeks and Doodle Romping already!?

The pups are beginning crate training with an open door crate

But it gets warm in there in the morning!

There is a little more fresh air and room to breathe in the puppy bed...

...until Brownie climbs in!

How is this going to work Brownie?

 This makes more sense

Stella's Lucky Pups!

At three weeks, Stella's little Lucky Charms are starting to look and act more like puppies and have improved coordination. They have begun to express themselves in puppy-ways, wrestling in slow motion, grabbing at an ear or tail that presents itself in front of their mouths, and in softly yipping for their Mama when they are hungry.

The pups are much more alert for what goes on around them, paying special attention to events that might signal mealtime!

The naughty girls enjoy gentle rough-housing

Stella and Brownie's human family are giving the pups some extra love!

 

Little  Ciara's first experience with the water bowl. With the warm weather today, the pups are much thirstier than normal. And, it is important for them to learn to drink water before they start eating a lot of "solid" food.

"Wow, I have big feet for a girl!"

You found me!

An important milestone in these puppies lives...

It's a hit!

It's exhausting being 3 weeks old!
