June 11, 2016 Puppy Update Week 3

The puppies are really beginning to move around this week. We were beginning to think they were a little on the S-L-O-W side. The are all somewhere around three pounds and healthy as can be.

Count Chocula is an aggressive male lead.

But the Count is turning into a wonderfully playful puppy.

Everybody came alive this week. When someone walks in the front door they all wake up. Some are even beginning to come see who has arrived.

Sugar Pops is a gorgeous little Lemon Basset.
Cuddly and no too wiggly, she loves everyone.

But she won't talk no stuff off of the boys.

This week they started to play, when they are awake. But they still sleep 90% of the time.

I think Cocoa Pebbles is the biggest of the lot.

But not the sleepiest, despite the appearance.

Everyone has sprouted teeth this week. Cinnamon has put them on a three times a day feeding and they no longer wait for their shift before chowing down.

Lucky Charms is the sleepy one, but she doesn't seem to be missing any meals.

RRRRawwwwr says Lucky.
(More like YYYYawwwwn.)

Last night I put them to bed and a few minutes later they had all jumped out. I put them back, they jumped back out. So the bed is removed from the pen.

Cinnamon's Toast Crunch is a really wonderful Lemon Basset male.
Probably my favorite this week.

The face . . .
That face!

Today they are following Cinnamon around the outside of the pen, hoping for a meal.  Their eyes are wide open and their ears are beginning to show some length.

Cocoa Crispies is near the smallest, but she has a big personality.

Cocoa Crispies loves to cuddle, and was the first to get out of bed to go pee all by herself.
(I know . . .Only a parent could like such a thing.)

Alphabits is the most wiggly little dog.
We call her Alphabetty.

She refuses to have her picture taken.
She has Clarke Bar's muzzle.

We have had to shut the gate on the pen. They are about a day and a half from me having to raise the walls.

BooBerry has begun to develop a brown fur on her head. The scale meant 3 pound 2 ounces

BooBerry says "Blehhh" a lot.

Honey Comb is mostly black on one side and white on the other.

She is the tiniest of them all, but maybe the prettiest.
She hugs your fingers when you pick her up.
