Four Weeks Old

We spend most of Saturday making the pups living area a bit larger and easier to clean.  They love it now and are already learning to eliminate in the corner of their pin instead of their bed and play place.  This should make it easier house training later.  We also gave their 2nd dose of wormer over the weekend and clipped their nails again. 

The pups are also now old enough to be receiving a combination of solid food and mama's milk.  And mama no longer lays down to feed but stands up while her pups dance around getting their milk.

Getting their solid food.

Every day we try to have puppy play time.  One, so the pups will get some playful attention and two, so they can get use to kids playing with them.  My girls LOVE this time!

Three Weeks Old

The pups have grown so fast!  Their eyes are now open now and they have begun to play with each other.  They have learned to walk but are not so steady on their paws yet.  They were seen by a vet just a couple days ago and were very healthy.

Here they are playing with each other in their pin.

It's pretty tricky trying to get a good shot of all of them.  Eli and Zane on the left were being so still, while Zoe and Jack-Jack on the right were squirming.

Almost Two Weeks Old

Here is Zoe and Zane trying their best to get on all fours.  

Their eyes are open now and they are starting to explore their 3' diameter space.

These are our girls getting their routine holding time.  It's the highlight of their day. 

Java's Puppies 5 Days Old

It's almost the end of week one and all pups are doing fabulous!  Uneventful since all they do right now is eat, sleep, and poop.  Oh and snuggle very well.
In order of birth ... may I introduce to you ...

Dewclaws have been removed.  All pups are healthy and eating very well... maybe too well since there are so few of them and they don't have fight for milk. Pups have all gained at least 8 oz since birth.

We are now taking reservations for puppies!   Click on the link above that says Reserve Puppy.  All pups are showing some personality, so if you have a particular kind of temperament in a dog we can help you take your pick!
