Day 14: Puppies are Two Weeks Old!

The puppies weigh close to two pounds each, their eyes are opening and they are exploring their surroundings on wobbly legs.  


We hear puppy like yips and lots of lip smacking.  Yet, sleep is still a large part of their day.  


These five girls have just finished nursing and their mom Kamea is thoroughly cleaning them up!


The four boys ( two greens, yellow and blue) and white girl, are also sleeping out in the ex-pen to give their mother a break.

The puppies can't scale the short wall out of the whelping box yet but that time is fast approaching.


Two ex-pens carve out their cushy  space on the protected hardwood floor.  The floor is layered with heavy ml vinyl, carpet pad remnant and quilted whelping pads.  This will serve for another week at least before pups move downstairs into larger accommodations.  Five are nursing and five are sleeping with Uncle Polo's safeguarding.
