Not only do they have vision now, they are getting around pretty well. They have also started to use the paper pads. Most fun of all, they are are starting to "talk". Georgie is the most vocal of all - this morning he actually worked a mini growl into a mini bark. It was the most adorable sound I ever heard. Like he was saying: "pick me up, I want out of here". Georgie is the most outgoing of the bunch: first to sneak out of the box, first to find his way out of the doggie estate, first to follow me around, first to "talk". He is a rascal.
Today was visitors' day. First Cayden came over with his Mommy and Grandpa. He held a few of the puppies on his lap but then decided it was more fun to climb into the (freshly cleaned) puppy box and just sit with them. Cayden was perfectly happy there with the little pups nibbling on his toes and his jammies. But boy was he sad when he had to go home.
Next came Lainie's family to check on her and to drop off the softest, most luxurious blankie for Lainie, so we can get her family's smell on it. Lainie spent most of the time snuggling up to Laurie. I can see how these next four weeks are going to be torturous on Laurie! :) Thank goodness for photos and videos.
Laurie noticed Bella was not feeling well and looked a little engorged, red, and she was hot. After talking with the vet, we decided Bella needs to take antibiotics and started her immediately. We also gave her some liquid pain medicine and fever relief. She slept most of the afternoon and seems better already. I guess having these six babies is really hard on her.
Our vet, Karen, is coming tomorrow for a visit to check on the puppies, and she will take a look at Bella again also. We know she will be fine.
Our next visitors were Sonia, Juan, Analiese and Ivan. The kids loved holding the puppies too.
Below are some more photos we took today.
Tomorrow I will put up individual photos. I need some rest now!
