One Week Old
Puppies are beginning to fill out -- just about doubling
their birth weight. Fur getting nice and thick. Ears losing
their "leathery" texture. Nails growing like weeds!
NOTE -- Photographic black puppies with closed eyes who
essentially "sleep and slouch" creates a challenge to get any depth or
dimension to the picture. Later pics should have more "personality". Click on the

Six Weeks Old
Eating real food with just a little water to soften it a bit.
Playful and rambunctious. Love to cuddle. Pretty much trained to
do their potty in a separate area with shredded paper. Harboring
thoughts about how to "escape" from the whelping box! Weights in the
6-7# range.

Seven Weeks Old
Time for Formal Portraits. (If only we can get them
to sit still long enough to focus the camera!) Eating dry food,
but planning to file a formal complaint because they are only fed 3-4 times
a day. The term "feeding frenzy" has special meaning for these
4-footed Piranhas. Vet gives a clean bill of health, and all passed
their Eye Certification with flying colors. Will be ready to head off
to their new homes in a few days.
