Now that's got to hurt!

Dixie nurses her four-week old pups. Ouch!

New Digs

Red girl escaped the whelping box Monday afternoon and again this morning. This afternoon I came home to find both Red and Black sitting in Dixie's crate. So this evening's project was to dismantle the whelping box and put up an x-pen. I put a 300 sized crate inside of the x-pen, and the pups took to it immediately. Of course, Dixie joined them INSIDE of the crate to nurse.

First Meal

Puppies enjoyed their first meal on Friday evening. They seemed to enjoy their Pro Plan "Slurpie" quite well. As usual, there is always one puppy that ends up lying in the pan. This time it was the Red collar girl.

Puppies Getting More Mobile

Puppies' eyes are open now, and they are getting a bit more mobile. They don't have that walking thing down quite yet, though. This video was taken on Friday (7/10/2009) afternoon.

Puppies Growing Like Weeds

Dixie's "pound puppies" are now all over two pounds each. They are growing fast. Typically the puppies' eyes start opening at about two weeks of age. It's funny to watch their reaction to the site of things. Up until then, they are driven by their noses. They certainly can smell when Mom, aka dinner, is nearby.
