Puppies

Audi, Beemer and Mack are now 9 weeks old. Hmmm, or is it 10 weeks tomorrow. I guess I should check the calendar. They are the sweetest little boys! Boys will be boys; they rough and tumble most of the time. :-) They had their first shot yesterday and got healthy reports. Audi weighed in the biggest at 2 & 3/4 pounds, the other two were 2 pounds.
These little guys have been enjoying the outdoors, running after the bigger dogs and rustling in the leaves. I caught one (with my camera) with a leaf on his head. Adorable, except it turned out a bit blurry.
Lucky, the momma, will still nurse them occasionally. Audi doesn't show any interest in that
anymore, but the other two will nurse for a short time. They are eating their puppy kibble very well. I do add a bit of water and maybe some moist puppy food to it. Of course, the bigger dogs
think that it smells wonderful too, but they have to wait. "Babies first".
Looking up websites to advertise them now. That's the hard and sad part. Parting with my little tykes. As you can see, I haven't been in any rush with this. Other litters started heading to their new homes at about 8 weeks old. I feel better not to be in a hurry, especially if the pups still do want to nurse.
Need to tuck them in for the night. :-)
