On the run at 5 weeks

The puppies are at a really fun age. They are exploring their world and are learning to run. And they love to go outside and play. The above picture is Piggy, racing across the yard at full speed. The puppies are beginning to regularly eat Mary's Marvelous Mash, which makes Tama happy that she has a break from those razor sharp puppy teeth.

So here's the overview of the week.

Boy 1: He is the thinker. He explores a little more cautiously than the others, but shows no fear or shyness. He and his brother play very loud and rough together when they are inside.

Girl 1: She is our explorer. She is also very, very sweet. She wants to be picked up and wants to be held and cuddled. And she's still the best one to give kisses. She climbed up our rock stairs from bottom to top, so I was able to snap this picture.

Girl 2: I saw alot of progress in her this week. She is nursing very aggressively and holding her own against the mob when they all make the mad dash towards mom. She is tasting the food that I give her but not eating much of it yet. She is walking very steadily. She is still behind the other puppies in many ways. Her teeth are just now breaking through. The other puppies have very painful little chompers, and have had them for at least a week. She is now 2 pounds.

Boy 2: He's outgoing, loves the outside and plays very rough with his brother. Cute as can be.
