The Puppies at 7 Weeks!

Babies love to cuddle!

The babies are seven weeks old and there were lots of new changes for them during the week. The biggest one was NO more mommy milk!! They try to sneak a suck, but they just can't get anything through the onsie! It's just a riot watching them chase her around the ex-pen. When they finally give in to the fact that they are not going to get any milk supply from her, they settle down and all play together with mama.

It's sweet to watch Sebring be such a good mama to them. The other big change for them is they are starting to get crate trained now and so is Mama! They are still together during the day, but I started separating them at night to help prepare them for their new homes. Last night was the first night and they did very well. Each one kept their crate unsoiled!!!

HURRAY! They got their first puppy shot this week too and each one did such a great job. Sebring received her shot as well and didn't even flinch. She is going to get her teeth all polished and cleaned and her guarantee to freedom (spayed) on Monday!

Champ is now 3 pounds,2 ounces, Cambridge is 2 pounds,12 ounces, and Alpine is 2 pounds,10 ounces.

They continue to be challenging to photograph as they are little busy bodies who don't always want to stop to say "cheeeeze"...more like pleeeease leave us alone already!!!
