Wow! Can you believe they're already 2 weeks old!! It seems like they're older somehow - maybe that's just because of how big they're getting :-) Their eyes were all open by the end of the weekend, and it would seem that they're starting to notice sounds more and more. They were particularly interested in a loud bag of candy we were enjoying Sunday (snacks to observe them with of course!). And while no one has escaped from the whelping box quite yet, we definitely have a couple adventurous types - Pink and Green were quite curious about the outside world, but couldn't quite figure out how to get their back legs up and over yet. Just to be safe, though, I added an extra board to give the box some additional height - momma can get in but the babies can't get out! Well for now :)
Pictures of their 2 week photo shoot are below - you'll notice that Green and Yellow no longer wear neck bands - their colors are so distinct that I can pick them out just fine without them! Green is the red-dilute boy (and the biggest in the litter so far!) and Yellow is the dark girl (and the peanut in the bunch so far!). And the breakdown of weights is as follows (pictures match weights in descending order):
Pink is at 2lb 9.5oz, Lavender is at 2lb 1/2oz, Royal is at 2lb 8.5oz, Light Blue is at 2lb 12 oz, Yellow is at 1lb 15.7oz, Orange is at 2lb 9oz, Green is at 3lb 1/2oz, and Black is at 2lb 10.5oz.
Stay tuned for their first sled dog race - coming soon :)
