2 weeks down…6 to go

No, not my weight loss plan, but our puppy adventure.  They are two weeks old as of yesterday.  It seems like each day takes forever, but the past two weeks have flown at the same time. It has been a LOT of work and more stressful than I imagined.  Mia gives of her milking services and will clean them up, BUT only after we MAKE her get in the pool with them.  It’s a little crazy.  Our Vet hasn’t ever met a dog like her. Prima Donna.  I love seeing the stages, but I am glad this is just a short term full time job.

It’s amazing how fast they have grown.  The were born all between 14 oz. and 1 lb. 4 oz.  Now they weigh between 2lbs 1 oz. and 2 lbs. 11 oz. They are all walking (wobbling) and have opened their eyes and ears (did you know they are born with closed ears… I didn’t). They are still squealing, but some are trying out little barks.  They have funny little personalities and are hilarious to watch-  that is what gets me through.

Here are some photos  of their changes.

“…it’s the funniest thing, EVER”

The other day I was sitting at Anna’s little princess table doing a craft with her and decided to put Maddie in one of her chairs.  Maddie loved sitting there with us and looked pretty comfortable.  (Despite the face below).

 

Then Anna pushed her chair under the table.  Maddie fit perfectly.  I was laughing so hard  (okay I still laughing) at how funny it was with her face looking forward and her little feet dangling.  I told Anna to go get Daddy to come see.  She walked in his room and said,  “Daddy, you have to come see… it is the funniest thing, EVER.” How could he turn down such an invitation?  This is what he saw.  ENJOY…

Anna also posed herself like this as told me to take a picture, how could I resist.  This is Anna and “brown baby.”
