Time Flies

God, I can't believe that the puppies are 3 weeks old today. It doesn't seem that long. All 10 have their eyes fully open now and are very interested in what is going on around them (when they are actually awake, it's a total snoozefest right now).

Well, we knew it would happen soon , and I finished the wood for the puppy pen over the weekend because of that, but who knew it would happen this soon!! We had our first escapee yesterday. Some of the more outgoing pups had been scrabbling at the sides of the pool for several days now. Yesterday, light pink finally got his front feet hooked over the edge. A momentary hangtime and a lot of back leg scrabbling, then over the top and head first onto the floor (luckily the carpeted floor!). He pulled himself up and immediately took of trotting wobbily across the floor. After we coralled him back in with his sibs we immediately assembled the puppy pen and moved everyone into their new digs. They were a little hesitant about the extra room last night, but have adjusted well and seem quite content with the extra space today.

Besides the extra room, the biggest change with the new space is that they can easily see out. They are very quick to notice if someone comes close to the pen and then they all crowd to that side and yip for attention. So cute!!
