We can see - 2 weeks old!

The puppies started opening their eyes on Sunday, May 13th. Skor, our little black and tan, was the first. They just popped open. Gumdrop, our runt, was the last to open his eyes. As you can tell from the pictures, they aren't completely wide open yet. It's amazing how different their temperament is as soon as they can see. They are much calmer when you pick them up.

This picture really shows how much the puppies have grown when you compare them up against their mommy. Gumdrop is really catching up to his brothers and sister.

Skittles seems to change by the day. His snout is turning less black as his nose turns darker. It's like the black is being drawn out to the tip of his nose. He is so sweet and calm and likes to be held.

Skor is definitely the most mellow. He will lay on his back and just sleep in your hands or stare up at you. He is precious!



I am amazed that I could get a picture of Snickers. She doesn't like to be held at this point -- I'm sure that will change. She squeals and wiggles all over when you pick her up. She is still the biggest, but not by much. Her brothers are catching up with her.

This picture is a little blurry of Gumdrop because I couldn't get him to hold still long enough! He's growing like a weed. He has the most beautiful chocolate brown coat with rich tan markings. My favorite feature though is the long white mark down his chest.

I like this picture because it shows how different the coats are of the three dark puppies: red, brown and black. Skittles was eating during this picture.

oh my gosh, they are getting soooo cute. They look much more precious with their eyes open. I love the pictures with them all lined up right next to eachother, snuggling. I can't wait to see them this weekend!
