Bee & Pups at 4 weeks
It's getting harder and harder to fit them all in, but Bee tries hard |
|
|
|
Stand Up for Milk!
All the pups have spent the week mastering the fine art of drinking while standing on their hind legs. However, gravity plus sharp teeth means this is not always comfortable for poor Bee! |
|
|
|
|
|
Bee & Dash
Incredibly tolerant of anything they do to her, Bee never seems to mind even when her ear or face becomes a puppy chew toy. |
|
|
|
Bee & Mel
With all other pups asleep, Mel decided to see if Mom was up for a game - she was! |
|
|
|
John & Pups
The pups are endlessly fascinated by John's beard, and thankfully have given up looking for the nipple they were sure was hidden in there somewhere! |
|
|
|
First Drink
At 3 weeks, the pups are offered water. Coal was the first to try out this new stuff. He decided that while not as good as Mom's milk, it wasn't bad at all. |
|
|
|
We are carnivores!
Once the teeth have erupted, the pups are offered solid food in the form of raw beed. One sniff and the switch goes on - their intense response is amazing to watch. |
|
|
|
Coal & Rain
Rain just loves these pups, and here is shown playing a gentle game with Coal. |
|
|
|
|
|
Bee & Woody
Just another "awwwww" moment of Bee with one of her pups. |
|
|
|
Good Box
No matter how many expensive toys we provide, it's the cheapos like cardboard boxes that the pups seem to love. |
|
|
|
The Lion Sleeps (always)
Like many pups, Jet likes to sleep with her head propped up on something - this time, the lion slipper. |
|
|
|
Coal & Rain
The game continues, with Coal batting Rain in the face. |
|
|
|
John & SugarBear
Don't let this sweet moment fool you. While content to lay in our arms and gaze into our eyes, put SugarBear on the ground, and the Energizer bunny returns! |
|
|
|
Kia & Woody
As the weeks go on, the puppy rumbles continue, all part of growing up. |
|
|
|
|
|
4 pups
From left to right: Mel, Jet, SugarBear, Kia. Note SugarBear is on The Box, which Kia seems to think is actually her throne. |
|
|
|
Big Sister Rain
The pups are always glad to see their big sister Rain. |
|
|
|
Sleeping Mouse
Tummy full, Mouse falls asleep between other pups still tanking up. |
