Dr. Seuss Puppies Learn to Play

Contributed by Aphrodite and her puppies' foster mom

Aphrodite's puppies were 4 weeks old yesterday and they are just learning how to play. I can't send you puppy breath through the blog, so I took this movie for you to watch. This was taken at 7 a.m., if I sound a little 'blurry'. lol



If you aren’t able to view the YouTube video click here.

Their personalities are just starting to blossom. Here's what we've learned so far.

Mulberry likes toys, especially balls that she can push around with her nose. She also likes to pounce. She gives a little hoppity-skip when she does it.

Lori doesn't let anybody push her around. She's a very brave little girl. She's also the littlest of the group, but oh so cute!

Horton is our vocal boy. He wants to tell you ALL about it. (all about ANYTHING).

Star is the biggest in the litter right now. She is the typical cairn princess and likes to boss the others around.

Mooney is our quiet boy. He likes to play best with Mulberry, who is also quiet.

Yertle likes to play with the boys. He and Horton are pretty rough and tumble. Yertle also has the biggest paws. We call him our teacup Newfie. ;-)

Aphroditie and her puppies are being fostered in Missouri. They are not yet available for adoption.

This morning when I weighed the puppies I noticed little bitty slits in their
eyes. I imagine a couple of them will have their eyes open by tomorrow! Wahoo!
Watch out Ditie. They can FIND you now! MWAHAHAHAHAAHA

By the 'weigh' - at the weighing - Three of them are over 1 pound! Star, Yertle, and Horton are the BIG KIDS in the bunch. :

Mooney - 15.4 oz

Star - 16.6 oz

Mulberry - 14.5 oz

Horton - 17.8 oz

Yertle 17.9 oz

Lorax - 13.3 oz

I thought the easiest way for you to see what the puppies look like is to see them in a video. They'll be two weeks old tomorrow. Check out the big yawns and their little feet. Oh, except for Yertle. Check out his big feet! Please click on their names if you are unable to see the embedded videos.
