Brief Update

Just a short update for today.  The puppies are all doing well, several getting close to 5 lb already.  They are awake more often and even try to play with each other sometimes.  It's too cute watching them try to pounce on each other, but instead falling over as they are not quite balanced enough.  They also have started to have mini howl-a-thons, often in a chorus of 3-4 puppies, enjoying the sounds of their own voices.  While we are offering solids, most of the puppies just take a taste or two before changing their minds and waiting on Renee to return.  Considering that they are only 3.5 weeks - developmentally 2.5 weeks, this isn't surprising.  Most puppies don't start eating solids until 3 weeks - which for this litter will be more like 4 weeks.  It will come.  Size-wise they are well on track for their developmental ages, with steady gains at a rate comparable to previous litters.  This is one strong and healthy batch of puppies overall.  That's it for now.  I will try to get some video of them playing or having a howl-a-thon when I can - I just need to make sure the camera happens to be handy...
