Up, Up and Away

Well this week as been full of firsts. The puppies have started to open their eyes and take in their surroundings. Some have started to walk. This is a little precarious because of the lining of the new whelping box. It has a slick bottom for ease of cleaning and sanitizing, not ease of learning to walk. They much prefer their puppy play time in the yard for walking. Not too hard now to keep them all herded, but another week or so we'll be in trouble. Puppies all over the place!! Shallbe is a great momma, she is taking really good care of the pups. We are always a little concerned with the first liter, but Shallbe has taken to motherhood like an old pro. I am waiting for the puppies eyes to open a little more and I'll post some more picutres. Boy are they cute! They're getting fatter by the day.
