Reilly and Pazzo

In just 2 short weeks these puppies have grown so much. Reilly stays either in or near the box, and the moment one stirs, she is
right there to care for their needs.   She may just go in the box to check if they need cleaning, but needless to say, as soon as
they smell or sense her around, they immediately start going to her and she, good mom that she is, will lay down and let them
nurse. But it is obvious, seeing these little chubby balls of fur.   They have all tripled their initial birth weight.
In the pictures, you can see that the puppies'' eyes are starting to open. By 2 1/2 to 3 weeks they will be fully opened. Did you
notice their noses are now black?

As they are getting more active, they also are getting more vocal. You can periodically hear one or two of them yelping Not really sure
why other than possibly missing mom, when she is out of the box. Sometimes they even yelp in their sleep. Not sure how they
can sleep,with the racket because, I sure can't. At this age their bark sometimes sounds like a baby alligator that has hatched
from it egg, and is calling for its mom. When I post a video of the pups you may be able to hear them.

Their legs are getting stronger and instead of crawling, every now and them one of them will get daring and stand up on all fours
and take a step or two. It is short lived success though, as they just don't have the muscle strength yet, to stay up too
long.
