Day Two of PuppyHood

Our puppies are thriving. Here we have some pictures of them during day two of life. Below is Purple Girl, who displays her acrobatic skills while nursing. Sideways, on top of her litter mates. Quite impressive! To the right is Pink Girl, demonstrating her impressive ability to nurse upside down!

To the right is our Red Boy. It is hard to catch Red Boy doing much other than nursing or sleeping. To my amazement, Red Boy has started to change color. He is getting light patches on his cheeks, his neck, and the bottom of his legs. So -- it doesn't look like he will be all black after all! Look at how his right ear is sticking straight up. I have noticed that in all of the puppies, their ears are no longer plastered to their heads. They are starting to stick straight out!

To the left is our Pink Girl. Pink Girl wags her tail while she nurses -- it is so cute!. If you look underneath her tail, you will see a little white patch. All of the puppies have that -- just like their mommy!

Here is a picture of Green Boy. Green Boy is bound and determined to climb over all of his litter mates -- even Purple Girl!

Here is our Yellow Girl. She is changing color, both on her face and on her legs. Can you see her claws? It is so sweet. All of the puppies have little white claws, perfectly formed.

Orange Girl is still the snuggler. Here she nestles right in with mommy Holly. Orange Girl hasn't yet begun to change color. Maybe she will stay all black like Holly?

Blue Girl is still the loner. She likes to sleep away from the others, except when she is nursing. I am so glad she is thriving and doing well. This should have been the runt!

Here are some pictures of our puppies sleeping together. They are so cute. I could sit around all day, just watching them, and get absolutely nothing accomplished.

I never knew having puppies would be so amazing!

Of course, there is always one family member who is the spoiler. Felix is a very unhappy cat. He pooped on the kitchen table after the puppies were born ...
