Litter #2 - 6 Weeks

Oh my ... these little cuties are growing so fast! They all got their first set of shots on Monday and the Vet says they look just fine. They are well on their way to eating just puppy food and the potty room is a hit! Very few accidents in other rooms of the puppy condo ... now if we could just get them to quit playing in the potty room!!!

Litter #2 - 5 Weeks

The energy level has increased and week 5 has been action packed! It takes a good 30 - 45 minutes of play time to wear these little guys out. They are all eating well, still puppy mush and mama's milk. Their teeth are like little razors and they love to chew, especially on each other's legs or ears.

Litter #2 - Almost 4 Weeks

The pups are one day shy of 4 weeks old today. This week they have supplemented their diet with blended puppy food and water. Watching them drink water for the first time was hysterical ... they each submerged their entire nose into the water and came up for air snorting, coughing and confused. They are coming along pretty well with the potty training, but we still have some work to do there. Tomorrow we head to the vet again for round two of the de-worming medicine.

We had our fall photo shoot today :)

Litter #2 - Almost Three Weeks

This is a once in a lifetime picture ... I walked in to check on them and they were all lined up and sound asleep.

We're almost at three weeks old and all the pups are over three pounds now. They grow so fast! They are all perfecting their wobble and are maneuvering around quite quickly. This weekend we are focusing on learning where the potty room is. As soon as their little eyes pop open we move them immediately so they don't potty in their sleeping quarters. The last litter actually did pretty good with this, so I expect these little guys and gals will figure it out soon enough.

Within the next week we will start feeding them real food, which always provides fabulous photos ... stay tuned!

Litter #2 - Two Weeks

Today the pups are two weeks old and had their first vet visit. Three puppies have their eyes open already and all are starting to wobble around. Those who can see are especially mobile and curious, checking out their surroundings.

You might recall that after the first round of deworming medicine the first litter of pups were zonked and I was able to snap the precious picture in the blog header. Litter number 2 is a bit more active and this is the best shot I could get of all of them.

Here is the official line up ...

Two Black Females - Lime and Pumpkin

2 Yellow Females - Purple and Pink

2 Black Males - Tan and Blue

2 Yellow Males - Garnet and Black

Litter #2 - Cuddle Pups

The pups are almost a week old and growing fast. Their activities include eating, squeeking, scooting and lots of snuggling and sleeping.

Litter #2 Has Arrived!

At 4:27 pm yesterday, Kora had a little girl and at 9:46 pm she had her last of eight puppies. Five hours of giving birth to a litter of eight was previewed by 15 hours of labor, she started at 1:30 yesterday morning. Poor girl was so exhausted! She did a fantastic job though and we have a precious litter, an even mix of 2 yellow females, 2 yellow males, 2 black females and 2 black males. We are now all trying to catch up on our sleep.
