Fr x Tk 09

			Pups were born July 7, 2009 starting at 2:30 am. She had carried 9 pups but the last two got stuck and we had to have a c-section for her. We had 8 live births weighing close to a pound each. Eyes and ears are sealed and they cannot walk yet. Mom and pups are doing well.
			Here are some pix of the pups on July 19. They soon will be opening their eyes. They are at least double their birth size and are trying to walk a bit on their legs. Everyone is doing well.
			The pups are almost 3 weeks old. Their eyes are open, they are walking a bit and the teeth are starting to emerge. The eyes are still a blue color and will darken to brown as they age. They are starting to climb out of their enclosure and may soon need to be moved.
				At 3+ wks the pups are starting to play with each other (not toys yet), climb out of the enclosure and enjoy sleeping in big puppy piles. Teeth are coming in.
				The pups will not be 5 weeks old until Tuesday. They are in the process of being weaned, introduced to toys and love to be held.
			The pups are 5+ weeks old and are enjoying time outside in the sunshine. They love to play with each other and like to be held. They are people dogs for sure.
			The pups were 6 weeks old on Tuesday the 18th. They are eating puppy chow soaked in water. The eyes are starting to turn more yellow brown now than blue. They like playing with toys now. In a week they will be going to their new homes.
