Turning into real puppies...

Loris' pups are now 2 weeks old, they're quite forward for their age but I always think the two week mark is the point where they stop being little furry slugs and start turning into proper little puppies. :)

Eyes and ears are now fully open and they're starting to take much more notice of each other and their surroundings.
Taking more notice of me (and my camera!)...

They're starting to 'play' with each other...mouthing and wrestling and making funny little growls and barks already...

They're also starting to cut their teeth...

...so we'll start weaning over the next week and try to take some of the pressure off Lori. She really is such a good mum, all nine pups are fat and well fed and spotlessly clean at all times which she manages with the minimum of fuss.

Some bitches seem to take to motherhood very naturally and Lori is one of these; just like her mother Kes, granny Sian and of course great granny Spangle before her.

Will get some individual pics of them all this afternoon before they have their first worming dose and nail trim. Am really looking forward to the next 6 weeks watching this lot grow up and start becoming proper little dogs. :)

Are you keeping one from this litter?

Nat said...

They are lovely babies...I just want to sit and watch them all day.

No, not keeping one myself but should be co-owning a boy.
