The puppies have just turned 2 weeks old. As an owner and I were commenting on, it seems like it took no time at all until they arrived, yet this first 2 weeks is going by slowly. For me, I think it's because 2 weeks is really their first milestone ... when eyes open. But the 2-week mark isn't only about eyes opening, as all of a sudden they're soooo much more mobile, scurrying all over the pool like little cockroaches. No rhyme or reason, just all over the place. Of course, always in search of mama, whom they can now not only sniff out, but see.
They're beginning to interact with one another, making their first attempts at puppy play, baby growls, and a few little barky-barks.
Emmy is a wonderful mom, so relaxed, so proud of her little family. She has happily enjoyed showing them off to the few visitors we've had to this point. She's snarly with Capri if she gets too close, and watches the others quite closely if they approach. However, if Paisley comes up for a look, she seems much more tolerant of her sister coming to check out the brood.
Of course, 2 weeks also seems to mark the end of the end of the invisible potty business as they're now quite capable of doing it on their own, and they do, all over the pool. The carpet and blankie will now be replaced with paper and a blankie. Hmmmm, I think I can hardly wait until I can set up an expen outside and move the little critters out there to enjoy the sunshine and FINALLY the warm (and dry) days of summer, and also to learn to do their business outside and on grass.
I hope you enjoy the video link below. This was shortly after waking up this morning, with the duration of this burst of energy lasting about 5 minutes before they drop off for a nice long nap.
