Here are a couple of photos of the puppies at two weeks. It's hard to believe that they are almost 2 1/2 times their birth weight. Their spots are really popping through and they are actually beginning to walk around the whelping box like little drunken sailors.
They stagger a few steps and then fall down, and then get up again. Their tails are starting to wag, too, as they move around. I think we are beginning to see their personalities showing through. The easiest going pup seems to be the biggest, which is also the lightest marked puppy- the patched boy. He seems to have a labrador retriever personality. But, we shall see how that develops. The other three pups are a bit more compact and are probably going to have a bit higher drive. They all still spend most of their time sleeping.
Here is a closeup of one of the girls. Except for her tummy, she is not as dark as she looks. Her eyes and nose are filling in nicely. If you look closely, you can see that her eyes are just starting to open. Hopefully by next week, all puppy's eyes will be open and they may be hearing as well.
