Two weeks old...

The puppies are growing up fast. Tama is ready for them to leave the nest and is already planning for their college tuition (out of state preferably). Talk about difficult subjects to photograph. Would someone teach these puppies how to pose appropriately for a photo!

Boy 1: He's a pretty calm puppy. He likes to be held and petted. He weighs in at 1 lb. 14 oz. He was the first puppy to open his eyes.



Girl 1: Still very appropriately named Miss Piggy. Sorry, I know it's not polite to give a girls weight, but I'm not going to fudge it... she is a whopping two pounds. She gets the glory of being the first one out of the whelping box - in search of food of course. And she was the first one to put all her weight on four very shaky paws. She's rambunctious, starts all the commotion in the box, AND has the loudest mouth letting the whole world know when it's time to eat.



Girl 2: On the opposite end of the spectrum is Squeekers. The lightweight of the family at only a touch over 12 ounces. She is really moving around alot more. And she will nurse now if she's alone with Tama without the competition of her heavyweight brothers and sister. I am still tube feeding her at night only, but allowing her to nurse as much as I can during the day. Her eyes are not open. She is the only one in the litter with her eyes still closed.



Boy 2: This handsome boy is still the most difficult to photograph. He will not sit still long enough for me to get a good photo of him. He is also very much a calm, sweet puppy. Just like his brother he weighs 1 lb. 14 oz.
