Three weeks.

Puppies have quadrupled in size and are beginning to be more active.  They still mostly sleep, eat, and pee, but have also begun to interact with each other.  They are also learning to be more steady on their paws as they learn to walk, and their squeaks have been replaced by high pitched squeak-growls.  I might have caught some on one of the videos below.

You might also notice they graduated to the next 'bed'.  Once they started to learn to walk, they also learn to climb out of the smaller whelping pool.  So now they're in a much bigger pool that they can't climb out of till next week or the week after.  We also added a bit of pine shavings to their space to help mama keep their space clean  (though it's littering our living space with pieces as mama gets in and out to feed them). 

Speaking of feeding...  pups will start a bit of softened dog food this week!  It's always a messy event, but I'll try to document the cuteness mist the mess.

I try to post about the same amount of shots for each pup, but some pups just make it really tricky to get a good shot.  So, sorry if I don't has many of the pup you want to see more of!

Also, we don't see too much of a difference in their temperaments this young, no doubt there are some that stand out a bit more than others in different ways.  I'll try to add those in for each pup.







MAUI - male
Red paw collar

Sweetly curious, and really wanted to be tucked close to the wall (which made it harder to get a good shot)









ZAZU - male
No collar

Has been pretty chill for most puppy playtimes and photos













BO PEEP - female
Pink paw  collar 

She's pretty curious, and didn't want to stay in this space for long.












ELSA -  female
Pink w stripe collar

Chill, calm, with a slight curiosity.  Also one of the bigger pups. 














BUZZ -  male
Blue  collar 

Mostly calm but was also curious and quick to retreat the new space.


















JASMINE - female
Yellow  collar

She didn't move much in this space.  Just stayed put and looked at us with eyes asking for us to pick her up again.
















PLUTO - male
Green  collar

He was cautious in this new space and even fussed a bit, ready for us to move him back to his more familiar bed.  Though he seemed to like the basket better with it's secure sides to hold him in.
















SIMBA - male
Red collar

Both curious and calm with a healthy eagerness to explore.












RAPUNZEL - female
No collar

Chill here, chill there, chill anywhere!
