This week I see the puppies becoming more attuned to the human world.  They had some visitors and responded well to them.  Their personalities are developing and it’s fun to observe which pup is the first to try something new, which pup is a clown, which pup may seem timid.  The interesting thing is that what one pup displays this week can change completely by next week.  They have moved into the main part of the house, in a much larger area and around the other Bichons.

Lucky #7 – perhaps a bit slower to try new things than some of the others.

 

Nice face, Mr. Black!

Pink. She is still the smallest but she knows how to wrestle with the big boys.

Turquoise was Mr. Personality today. He kept us laughing.

Not the greatest picture of Mr. Brown. Blame the photographer!

Cutie! This is Orange.

Blue is the largest and the only puppy to pass the 2 lb. mark.

Lucky #7, our last born did not make it onto the three week old blog.  So he gets a blog all to himself.

This is Lucky #7. We were only expecting 6 puppies, so when #7 was born 1 1/2 hrs. later, he was a big surprise.

The puppies are three weeks old today.  Their eyes are open and they can hear.  I purposely slam drawers, turn on my hair dryer and make other noises so they won’t be startled by other sounds.  They are interacting with each other and with their toys.

Mr. Blue is one of our largest puppies. There is a rail in their puppy box and he likes to rest his head on it. He is quite mobile.

Mr. Orange is the smallest male at this time. I love his face.

This is Mr. Brown. He is another good size boy. Some hair is blocking one of his eyes. I can see I’ll have to do some trimming soon.

I like to snuggle with the Turquoise boy.

Mr. Black is one of my favorites. Well, truthfully, they are all my favorites. He is a special boy.

 

Finally, the one little girl. Isn’t she cute??

We have puppies!  Lots of puppies.  Gloria delivered SEVEN beautiful puppies on January 4.  That makes them two weeks old today.  In the pictures you will notice that some have eyes open, some eyes are barely open, some eyes are still closed.  They develop differently.  By next week the eyes should all be open and we hope the noses are all black.  Did I mention that out of the seven there is only one girl?

The first three pictures are our big boys:  all over 1 lb.

Blue Boy, handsome dude.

Brown Boy whose eyes are the most open.

Brown boy – his eyes are open the widest.

Mr. Black. He just wanted to sleep.

Orange boy is not as mature as his heavier brothers.

Turquoise boy. He holds his own among his siblings.

Clear boy. We call him Lucky #7, as he was the last born. He gave me some little puppy growls today.

Miss Pink, not really sticking out her tongue. She was hoping for some food from Mom.

Gloria is trying to find a comfortable spot, and she still has over three weeks until she has her babies.

Linda came specifically to get to know Gloria.  As you can see, she made friends with all the dogs!

Only Favor remains at my house.  Grayson has left for his new home in Texas.

We miss him already!

Grayson sits on his new owner’s lap. She is phoning friends and telling them all about him.

Gloria is the best mother.  She is attentive and nurturing.  She plays with Favor and Grayson – running, chasing, wrestling.  This picture captures her in a loving nap with her son.

Today is the day Nao Nao (Brown boy) goes to his new home.  My daughter has always said he is my favorite.  He is pretty special.

I’m saying good-bye to my sweet, independent boy.

Sunny and Stuart are so excited to be Nao Nao’s new family.

The puppies are almost 14 weeks old.  These three are still living with me.  They are at such a fun age!

Gray is growing like a weed. He loves his food.

Favor (peach girl) likes to play, but she likes to be cuddled, too.

I got Nao Nao (brown boy) up from a nap. Obviously, he’d rather be sleeping!
