Day 18 and eyes are wide open--and so blue!

[Ginny Nightingale]

Wow--what a difference a few days makes--the eyes are all open in Lyric's litter now and everyone is toddling around. They have started to do a little bit of playing and are finding the newspaper to do their business more often. Momma is getting pretty tired but hanging in there. She takes long breaks now and hangs out with us between feedings. She is not the most devoted mom in that she will leave them for hours at a time now, but she knows they are safe and barks outside the puppy room door once in a while, so we will open it and let her look in to check on them. One sniff around the room is all it takes and she leaves them again.

I took some new pics today and love to see those blue eyes--too bad they won't stay that way! But Kelly (the green wool pup) has such light blue eyes that I wonder what color he will end up with--maybe a paler color than Lyric's dark brown. Daddy has a pale brown eye, so maybe he will too.

 

Here is the gang at the age of 18 days.

Here is Pooh:

And this is Honey bear: (I have a thing for bears..)

Above: Nutmeg

Below: Winnie

Next are the two girls, Daisy and Rosebud:

Here's Patch--he and Kelly are the largest pups

Gorgeous pups. Nutmeg, Kelly and Daisy have rose noses so far, they still could get some pigment I think. But if the rose noses stay they should have light eyes, amber-green like my two do.

Thanks to all! I am using a Nikon D50 digital camera that is so much better than my point and shoot--it belongs to my husband who bought it used from my photographer daughter--I love the fact that the pictures aren't fuzzy despite all the wiggling--these guys are never still!

Nutmeg is definitely the waviest, but the others are starting to get wavy now too--they change every day~

[Elizabeth, Bailey & Bruin]

Oh, I love Nutmeg's wavy ears....so sweet

 

[Rose Ann and Amante]

OMD I want to come over and snuggle them!!!!!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

So sweet...love those blue eyes.

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

They are all too cute!  It there anything better than puppy pictures - nope!

 

[Dori & Rua]

They are just so precious.  The pictures are great and it is fun seeing them grow up.  I have to admit that I am partial to Honey Bear...such a sweet little expression.

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

Aren't they just adorable!  Kelly's eyes are just gorgeous.

[Nancie & Gracie Doodle]

They are just the sweetest looking faces I have ever seen.  Your photography is great too!!!!

[Susan and Sasha]
