Portraits at 4 1/2 weeks: Mar 18th 2016

Orange Boy

Yellow Girl
(possibly blue)

Pink Girl ("Amazon Princess") 
(possibly silver)

Purple Boy

Light Blue Boy (? maybe silver ? )

Green Girl ("Scout")...  little but spunky
still not sure if she's blue or silver

Dark Blue Boy ("OMG" - so pretty and sweet)

(Still not sure if the darker ones are blue or silver... guessing that Pink girl and Blue boy are silver, less sure about Green girl and Yellow girl... Maybe the next clipping will be more revealing.) 

4 1/2 weeks old...

The puppies are now well into what is MY favorite stage ... showing lots of personality and creativity (Help! Help! - seriously though, if only all of our problems could be this sweet ).

They are eating (very well)  4 meals a day now:  two meals of hard-boiled eggs, yogurt and goat's milk (enriched with vitamin C, colostrum and egg yolk); and two meals of ground meat (chicken, turkey or beef) and yogurt.

We have also added pp pads to the whelping box (they still sleep there) and added a litter box to the puppy play area which is in our grooming area downstairs.  The puppies' clean instinct is guiding them to use the litter box, which makes our job (and the "forever home" transition) easier.  The litter box is filled with rabbit pellets, theoretically the smell of grass makes it more familiar when they are taught to potty outside.

The play area also includes (if the 'boat door' is open) access to a small area outside and a puppy 'gymnasium':
