"Tails" of The Puppies at 5 Weeks!

Alpine, Cambridge and Champ

Five weeks have just flown by!! These babies are all over the place now. They are so comical and you can see little personalities continuing to emerge. Little Cambridge is a feisty one and really gets mad when big brother Champ puts her in a head lock!! She likes to be vocal and tries to boss the others around. Champ is a big lover boy. When he gets tired, he comes over by your feet and cries to be held. He's a big snuggly bear. Alpine is just a sweetheart. She can play like a cairn with a toy ruffing it up and shaking it around, but she has a gentle sweetness that you can see in her cute little face.

They are all over 2 pounds now, with Champ being almost 2 1/2 pounds. They are making the switch to puppy food pretty easily, althoughthey sure would like it if Mama would just hold still for a couple of minutes so they could get a quick snack!! Especially Champ. He loves his Mama. For some reason, the pictures of Alpine did not turn out as well as I had hoped, so I'm a little disappointed that you can't see how cute she really is.

They are all very friendly and come running to us when they hear our voices. They are especially funny outside and kind of get the crazies romping from one person to the next and then wrestling with each other. I introduced my Maggie to them and it was just hilarious to watch them try to go after her underside looking for utters! None there and she did a little jump back and was like "No way- I'm not your mama!" She did a lot of play bowing to them and lots of tail wagging. She would like to clean their ears, but she can't figure out exactly how to do that with such small ones. (Rusty - our Golden - had huge floppy ears that she always kept clean for us). The puppies like to paw at her face and nip at her. She thinks they are lot of fun too.

Sebring's eye is continuing to improve with the meds that the vet prescribed. My sister was over today and was amazed at how much it had improved and really liked her new look since being bathed and groomed. She would like her for herself, except that she already has a housefull!! She is such a sweet little thing. It will be hard to part with her too! I wish I could slow time down some days!

Enjoy the pictures!
