BAER Test Day

On Saturday the pups had their hearing confirmed by BAER test. We are very fortunate in this area to have one of the most experienced BAER testers in the country. Not only is Dr. Williams an expert BAER tester, she makes house calls.

I'm extremely please that all the pups can hear in both ears.

Photographing pups

Photographing puppies is not as easy as you might think. When they are awake they don't often sit stay still long enough for me to get a good shot.

Here is Blue coming to check out the camera.

Here is Barry playing with a ball. He still looks very white but more spots can be seen now.

The pups still sleep a lot. I can get lots of pictures of them napping.

Mostly the pups like to sleep with their heads tucked under. But I was able to get this cute shot of Blue's face as he naps next to his sister Sky.

Pink likes to be on the top of the heap.

That means some one else is on the bottom of the heap. In this case it is Redford.

Growing and Getting Teeth

It is amazing how fast puppies grow. They have teeth now and eat puppy mush. But DeeDee is still nursing them.

Solid Food

The puppies began eating solid food this week. They are still nursing but now get puppy chow with water added and ground up in a blender until it is like mush.

Like all babies, they make a big mess when they eat.

Here are the boys

Here is Red. I nicknamed this handsome guy Redford.

This is Dark Blue, nicknamed Blue

This picture is a bit out of focus.

The flash makes their eyes look odd. I will have to try taking the next set of photos in natural light.

This is Light Green, nicknamed Fern.

Here is Lavender, nicknamed Iris.

Here's Looking At You Kid

Now that the puppies' can open their eyes, they spend a little more time awake. This is a picture of Red male.

This is Lavender female. She looks like she is about ready for another nap. For some reason, this photo has a pinkish tone.
