6/3/09: First eye is beginning to open on Purple boy!
6/4/09: Puppies are pretty much all "walking" (if you can call it that!) with their legs underneath them, as opposed to wiggling around on their tummies!
6/5/09: All puppies now have visible "eyeballs" reflecting back at us!

6/9/09: All puppies are not only mobile on all 4 legs, but they are now wagging their tails too! This evening saw our first whelping box escapee, who was determined to reach momma Liv standing outside the box. The insert has now been added to the door!
6/10/09: All puppies have now officially doubled their birth weight - thanks to Howdy finally reaching that milestone!
6/11/09: Let the games begin! No more having their voices being strictly that of grunts and groans... they are now growling and barking (or attempting to bark) with each while they learn how to play. Early neurological stimulation ends today.
6/12/09: Puppies have started eating a bit of gruel from a pan! What a mess, but Liv LOVES the additional "meal" that she gets to clean off of them!

6/15-16/09: We have teeth! Poor Liv!
6/16/09: Problems with puppy scale - accurate weights not taken*.
6/17/09: Puppies moved into rearing pen in dining room.
6/21/09: We haven't been great about weighing at the same time each day, and have noticed that it makes a big difference in the time of day, and whether or not they have eaten!

6/23/09: Now, with the puppies at 4 weeks of age, we are finally able to get Liv to begin spending a bit of time away from the pups. When we go to bed, she'll actually go sleep on the couch, and will wake us up a couple of hours later to return to the pups. She's even agreed to go spend some time outside during the day for an hour or so this week! Even though they've been eating food for a couple of weeks now, Liv still tries to keep up with "poop patrol", even though we try to beat her to it.
6/27/09: Weighing the puppies is becoming quite a juggling act, with our somewhat inappropriate scale. While great for very wee ones, it isn't so great for active, wilful, determined, larger ones... so the weights may be off by a couple of ounces on some occasions. Overall, most are fairly good about the whole ordeal, if we don't catch them when they are in "overdrive" mode!
6/29/09: Liv is now actively weaning the puppies. She still wants to nurse a few times a day, but it is for shorter periods and when she has had enough, she lets the kids know! They are very respectful of her when she has had enough, and she normally doesn't have to tell them twice! She still delights in spending non-nursing time with them, and is very good about keeping them clean and keeping tabs on them as they explore the house. You can tell she wants to play with them, but to them momma means "food" still at this point, so their interest in playing with her is tempered by their wanting to nurse.
