Pigment at one week

Faces and feet. I know the foot shots are a little fuzzy. The puppies were not very cooperative about that! I have made new week 2 folders for each pup on the Picasa site, so be sure to visit to see all of the latest photos.

Yang's pigment is filling in on the inside of his mouth. Hard to get a good shot!

 Yin is getting a lot darker across the nose on and on her pads.

 

Happy 1 week birthday!

We had a big day. I changed their pen. I took out their smaller nest within the box

And now they have the larger space to live in

If you saw the video, you know they were now able to climb up the side of the small box. I didn't want them to tumble over the side. They are also ready for more room to move around. Now they will have to work a little but harder to find Fada and each other as well. And when I sit in the box now, they can learn to climb on my lap, which is always fun.

Good night

Tomorrow is the puppies' 1 week birthday. I plan to rearrange a little bit. They are currently in a small "nest"within the larger whelping box. The whelping box is the ones I always used for my PWDs and Border Collies, so is a little large for small Fada and two pups. Tomorrow though we will take the nest out, and let them have the "run" of the larger box. Should do them good to have more room to move around and a little more challenge to find Momma.

Day 6

Just a few of the shots I've taken so far today. The rest on the Picasa site.

Wow!

I knew he was out eating her the last couple of days! Yin weighs 14.6 oz this morning, Yang is a whopping 15.1!
