The Puppies are 3 Weeks old



We went to see the puppies again today. It helps to put the memory card in the camera when you go to see them. (unlike last week)
The first time we saw them they were 1 day old and kinda pink and fleshy. When we saw them last week their eyes had just opened and they were walking around. They actually started walking around BEFORE their eyes opened! We missed that though.
So yesterday they were 3 weeks old. They are very soft and cuddly - except for their little claws that are really sharp.






We have kind of picked one out, based only on the fact that it is a girl and she is darker than the others. We are told that their personalities will be coming out more in the next couple weeks - which is great because we are going to help take care of them June 18-23 and will have lots of time to interact with them.








In the picture below, you can see that the 2 in the left corner are a darker color. That's what we are looking at. The others are almost white. There is one big male that's darker and the female is in the next couple pictures.



Last week she was crying a lot, but this week she slept in my lap for a long time and wasn't making as much noise as some of them were. They have learned how to bark, which is really funny (although I'm sure it's not funny when you live there and want to sleep!)
They have also started to bite at each other a little bit playfully. One of them had its mouth all the way over another one's head at one point.









It was hard to leave and hard to stop taking pictures...so if you want to see more, click here.
