Yesterday was their first day with the Potty Park, amazingly they all went for it. Yes there's a few that want to walk to the other side of the room sometimes and do their thing, but they are getting on the Potty Park and wee-ing away. It's so cute to see them trot up to the grass and relieve themselves, then walk away.
Today was their first real eating experience of bowl lapping puppy formula and a tiny bit of kibble ground up into the mix. Took it slow, their teeth are still buds and only a few have pointers. Seems their bed area and play area is expanding by the day, they are growing by leaps and bounds.
(our camera card to put pictures online is having technical difficulties, we will get pictures here soon, you will be amazed how much they've grown and how big puppies in the development they are).
Hadn't weighed them for a half of a week, following are their sizes at 3 1/2 wks young.
Cova, spry and play growling weighed 1# 15oz
Collette, a little squarer head and sleek in body weighed 2# 1.5oz
Claudia, little red collar bounces around playing and figuring out the pecking order in the litter was 2# 10oz
Claire, sweet and the darker of the three creams, will growl & bark like everyone else, if someone really challenges her, will turn her back to them and keep growling, weighed 2# 2oz
Courtney difficult to tell apart from Collette, now light green collar to keep track of her, weighed 2# 2oz
Carly little miss I hold my ground Grace look alike weighed in at 2# 8oz
Cara is bouncing around as much as anyone else, weighed 2# 8oz (thank goodness we collar them to tell them apart, this week I wouldn't have known who she was).
Conner, has a brown hue to him and his face around his nose is starting to turn light. Much earlier than Grace's last litter, will he be much lighter? (*see below)
Colby is black, no white on his feet, he's bouncing around like little tarzan today showing the girls he's something to look at, weighed in at 2# 9oz
Cory with white on the pads of his feet, also bouncing around gruffing and growling vying for top dog, weighed in at 2# 6oz
* when the puppies are over six weeks old and before seven weeks old for the personality testing, their feets and faces will be trimmed. If their faces are still black they will be the dark "blue" like samples in previous posts. If their faces are silvery to light silver, that will reflect the color they will be grown. A true "silver" puppy will have a lighter silvery face and feet at 6 wks. A black puppy will be slightly lighter on the face but close to the same color of their body. A true "cream" will turn very light with varying ears.
Blessings,
Paula and Jim
