The puppies have grown a lot this week. Their eyes are fully open and their sight and hearing are developing, though they still don't respond much to sights or sounds. They got their first nail trim (mainly for Cleone's sake) and they did not appreciate it at all, but I think Cleone will. They are also much more active and are beginning to play a little bit with each other. It won't be long now before they are out of the whelping box. Enjoy the pictures, and take a few moments to think about the reason for this special season of the year - the humble coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. Ollie (was Magnus) Ollie is hands-down the noisiest, wiggliest puppy of the bunch. He does not like to be held, so I try to spend a little extra time handling him every day so that he realizes that being held and petted is not a bad thing; it's a good thing. Echo was exactly the same way at his age and still does not like to be held, but she loves to be petted. (Just wait until you come out here - you'll see for yourself.) Ollie is very alert and is in the mid-range for size, and has an adorable face (in my opinion.) Mac Mac is pretty laid-back, but I have seen him starting to wrestle his brothers a little bit. He's still on the smaller side, but that's okay. He is turning into a handsome puppy and becoming more active every day. Logan Logan is still the little guy but he finally hit the two-pound mark and is growing more every day. He cracks me up sometimes by the funny expressions he puts on and the way he scrambles over to the milk bar and burrows in to find a spot. Relic Relic is chunky, handsome, and pretty level, so far. He is the one I've seen wrestling a little bit with Mac and he is one of the more alert pups. All the puppies seem to have a special radar system to detect when their mama gets into the box and they will go scrambling and rolling over to her the second they wake up. Relic likes to sit up and look around sometimes, just keeping an eye on things. Churchill Churchill's "mommy radar" works splendidly. Sometimes I will try to get Cleone in the box and lying down for Logan and Mac to get a little extra nursing in, without waking up the others, but Churchill, Ollie, and Relic always wake up and join the party. As a result Churchill has a beautiful roly-poly conformation. He is pretty level and doesn't get over excited about things (except for mealtimes, of course.) He is growing into a handsome fellow!
