the pups are 2 weeks old and opening their eyes now.

See the size difference between these to brothers. The puppy on the left is not doing nearly as well as the rest of the puppies this week. He has not gained any weight and is not sucking hard enough to get enough milk.  He is now being supplemented with bottle feeding in addition to nursing from mom.  All of the other pups have opened their eyes now and are over the 1 pound mark.  The pups are now able to scoot around in their crate in search of mom and each other. Mom has a harder time getting a break now since they are becoming more mobile.  Next week I look forward to seeing them start to stand up and take a few steps.  Fun times are coming to be able to watch the puppies tumble around their bed as they learn how to manuver.
