The puppies are three weeks old today! Little Snow is still much smaller than his sister as you can see from the photo but he has tripled his birth weight and both pups are taking their first few adventurous steps.
Tikkie is as always the ever watchful Dad. He sneaks into the whelping basket when ever he can cleaning and snuggling up with his offspring.
Maggie has suffered somewhat as she constantly wants to nurse the puppies. In the beginning she became very depressed. She went off her food and became quite ill. Thankfully now that Lady allows her to visit the babies she is settled back into her normal eating patterns. She is such a Mom!
Lady has become this amazing dog. She is so alert and more interactive than ever. Where she was somewhat withdrawn, hiding and running away, now she is happy and playful. Amazing how she has matured so well.
