The puppies turn 2 weeks old today! The time is flying by and until I am cleaning up copious amounts of puppy poop, I can only hope to make time stand still a while so I can enjoy every minute of their little lives. So much has happened this week! Eyes have opened and pudgy bodies have begun to wobble around the whelping box. We have been out and about introducing the puppies to 2 different schools and had many neighbors stop by to visit. Squirrel and Mudge are instant smile makers. No one can resist their adorable roly poly bodies, their sweet coos and grunts (and yes we have even heard the attempts at a "big dog" bark!) The most spoken word in our house is...AWWWWWWW! We are truly in love! Here are some pictures from the last week.
Squirrel is a real beauty queen. Look at her pose for the camera!
Birth weight: 15.8 oz, Weight at 2 weeks: 3 lbs 15.7 oz
Mudge is our little lover boy. He adores being held and just relaxes into your arms like a rag doll.
Birth weight: 15.6 oz, Weight at 2 weeks: 3 lbs 14.2 oz
Squirrel is the feisty one. Mudge cuddles into her and she tries to eat her way out of this photo shoot!
Squirrel, looking quite a bit like a polar bear cub.
And again, checking for every possible escape route! (I am no Penthea Burns and I can not imagine how she gets such clear shots of squirming puppies - right now, she is my hero!)
Mudge says, "If I hide my face underneath this toy, no one will bother me with the camera!"
OK FINE! Take the picture..
Going to hide my face again.
Sweet Squirrel, coming in for a close up!
Oh you brought the puppies to school? What did everyone say? Did the kids get to take them to their classrooms? They must have loved showing them off!!
ReplyDeleteKeep the pics coming, we're having a ball telling everyone about Hudson's progeny. That top one of Squirrel from the 7th? It just melts your heart =:)
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work, you guys are awesome surrogate parents!
