Puppies, Puppies EVERYWHERE!





I decided that the puppies need to get out of their box so their little legs can get stronger and to be in the part of the house that has more sunlight. They absolutely love it! The crawl around and get in some of the most unusual places! It's working because we see them trying to get up on all fours - especially the littlest ones who seem to be able to get up a little easier than the chubby pups. Now that their eyes are open, they are starting to get playful with each other. I am trying to get a short video of them playing and walking. It just seems that by the time the camera starts to record, they lay down.

They also have TWO moms now - Mollie takes care of all of the pups by cleaning them, too. She will wait for Mieke to go outside so she can have her turn at cleaning the puppies. Normally, she would be the first one out of the door. When we went to the vet the other day, I stayed in the car with the puppies and Mollie. One of the vet assistants came out to the car because she wanted to see the puppies. Mollie was extremely protective of them and I had to hold the puppy out of the car window so she could see it. The puppies even try to snuggle up to her if they don't find Mieke. Surprisingly, we haven't had any accidents so far because Mieke and Mollie still clean them up. (Thank goodness!) I will be very watchful in the coming days, though!

They are so cute! I love how they find the funniest places to fall asleep.
