Three weeks old today!

Tiny girl weighed 14 ounces this morning.  Going strong!  Eats more often than the others, but it pays off.  I doubt that she gets as much in three feedings as one of the big ones gets in one feeding. 

Zinger is getting a bit more reticent to stay with them longer than three hours at a time, whereas at the beginning, of course, it is all I can do to get the mothers to leave puppies even for long enough to go to the yard for elimination duty!!!

Mr. Tux, sleeping, as if you couldn't guess!

Looks like they are all headed for the same part of the milk bar!

Mom holding on to the pups when we had company!

Peanut's head.  Maybe we'll start to call her "Jif!"

Sleepy blue.  Don't know which one.

The herd at the milk bar!  Sweet, huh?

This weekend a family came out to see the puppies and put their vote in for which ones they preferred.  They know that I pick the pups, but I'll give them their druthers if it works out.  They took these very nice pictures.  There are four girls in this family.  It will be one LUCKY pup!

Daddy is Levi, GCH Meadowlake Fontainbleau, and both he and Zinger have their CHIC numbers.  That means that they have had all of their health tests done and passed them.  In 2014, Levi was Best of Opposite Sex at the National Specialty.  He is a blue and is VERY nice.  Zinger is very nice too.  I am hoping for a nice puppy for myself to keep out of this litter.  There are five blue puppies and four grizzle.  Two girls are blues.

The puppies are up on their feet walking around now.  They rush to the side of the whelping pen to be picked up.  It IS heartmelting.  They are also trying to steal mom's food.  They should get their teeth sometime in the next week.

Off to dog class with Jeri.
