It's like it happens overnight - puppies change from pink noses and pink pads on feet, blind and deaf to black noses, pads - eyes wide open and reacting to noises. They look like little dogs now - the coats are coming in and they are moving around their whelping box. The flash of my camera, which goes off alot, gets a reaction from them. There's a photo op every time I walk into their room. At two weeks, I can let the whelping room get a little cooler - they can now regulate their body temperatures. This next week they will walk more on their legs instead of pulling themselves - they will start interacting with each other more instead of just cuddling.
There weights as of July 27:
Ms. d. green 751g (484g at birth)
Ms. d. pink 850g (458g at birth)
Ms. l. pink 821g (394g at birth) she has more than doubled her weight!
Ms yellow 921g (532g at birth)
Ms Orange 851g (451g at birth)
no color 840g (471g at birth)
Mr purple 874g (474g at birth)
Mr no color 820g (481g at birth)
For identification purposes, I brush nail polish on their backs - that is how I identify them. They will be big enough next for the collars I bought .
