'A' Litter at Two Weeks: On the Move

The A litter puppies turned two weeks old this weekend. It was a big week for them! The theme of the week was mobility. They are really getting their legs under them. What started with just a few shaky stands soon turned into first wobbly steps. Seemingly overnight, they were on the move. Poor Piper is learning how to find a spot to safely lay down in the whelping box while eight puppies scramble around for position near her. It can be quite the production.

The first eyes made their appearance on day 10. Within three days, everyone’s eyes were open. They are still learning to focus and I can tell they don’t see much yet, but they are definitely starting to get the hang of the new sensory input. It is so fun to watch them try to put together all these new skills.
