The Third Week
Their first deed in the third week was to open their eyes. I've got another pair of Sinatra's! I had another trip to the vet, but it seems that Glee is really oké and that the milk she sometimes gives up is not part of a bigger problem. At the moment I don't care: keeping her alive is my first priority and whether she'll be a show- / breeddog is another matter. If for some reason that wouldn't be possible, I'd keep her anyway :-) Henbane is developing a great friendship with me (Glee is still too small to want to spent energy on anything but eating) and makes me her playmate. I didn't think it possible but she really looks at me! I always thought it took some days for them to be able to focus, but she looks at me all the same and even wiggles her tail. Non of Fescue's pups did that when they were two weeks old (or I didn't see). Since August 13 she takes everything she can find in her mouth and Tiro died because of that so I'm taking no chances: there is nothing in the crate but the pups. The following pictures are from before that.
First some pictures of Rune and Larousse: isn't he cute?
My grandma used to say "Yes, when he is fast asleep" and so they are ...
Henbane on the move.
Henbane pushing against my hand. (Not me holding her!)
Henbane wants to play and tries to bite my hand.
Laying her head in my hands to go to sleep - playtime at this age is a very short time!
I have removed my hand so she sets out to find a nice sleepingspot.
Glee on my chest.
Hungry!
We wanna play ...
And another feed.
First time in the livingroom. I'm surprised at Larousse and Rune: they are so gentle! Both of them want to play 'mom and dad' and when they get the chance they lie close to the pups. I always thought Tryfan was exceptional ....
Rune stuck his head under the shower.
