More visitors, more growth

As of today (Monday) all three puppies have their eyes open. You can see this in the photo of Paul and Orange Boy taken yesterday:

Stephanie had Green Girl, whose eyes just opened today:

And Patti has Purple Girl:

You can see how big the puppies are getting by comparing them to Pepper - remember how much smaller they were ten days ago!

And here is a video to let you see how active and vigorous they are. Purple girl is finished and has decided that an after-dinner nap is just the thing!

Wednesday visitors

We had a big day Wednesday. Stephanie and Glenda visited in the morning, but we don't have photos to share. Then Craig and Kay visited in the evening. Here they are:

How to view videos of the puppies

I am having trouble uploading videos of the puppies, so I have decided to use my mac.com account for them in the future. You should use either Safari (Macintosh) or Internet Explorer (PC) as the browser; Firefox works on either platform. Connect to the url below:

http://idisk.mac.com/caldwell5-Public

Then go to the folder Dylan ex Pepper 081208 Puppy Blog Files. Either a mpg or a mp4 file will be available - if you need a different format, contact me. Here is what is there at the moment:

Olympics1726 – date 8/16/08

I will periodically update the videos and note in the blog when new ones are available.

Growing up

We are getting SO BIG! This photo was taken Sunday. Look how much we have grown.


The puppies are growing rapidly, as the chart shows. Colors of the lines correspond to the colors of the rick-rack for each puppy.










We are becoming so ACTIVE!

Two days old - the furkids got their rickrack today. The big girl is purple, the smaller girl (none is small, really) is green, and the boy is orange.





Here is Green Girl.




















Here is Orange Boy.



And here is Purple Girl.

The puppies are becoming acclimated to life in the big, wide world (the big, wide whelping box, anyway).


Mom is, of course, a doting mother. Look at her broad smile. Ziggy the pug isn't too sure about the newcomers but he soldiers on.


The puppies are already active and thriving.
