Power of Cheese Pups - Weeks 5 to 6

Not a bunch of pics to share this week, as we're spending more time playing with these active little guys than snapping pics!

But we did catch a few:

A few big storms have rolled through lately, and the pups were really watching the rain from the safety of the living room.

Zola & Colby, watching the lightning & rain.

Zola backed up when it really started pouring hard.

Brie - un-phased by the storm - just chewin' her fish.


More pups come to see the weather show...

Power of Cheese days 35 to 37 & Past-Pup Pupdate

It's been a really busy week with on-going construction projects, work, and puppies, but we've caught some really fun pics of the pups over the last couple of days, as they've graduated out of the confinement of their whelping pen and enjoying some free run in our living room:

First up, Stilton was the first to discover the cave bed...a whippet's natural habitat!


Pepper Jack - looking thoughtful.

Zola - hoarding ALL the toys for sleeping with.

A couple of shots of Brie - looking a little perplexed!


Gouda!

Gentlemanly Gouda with his crossed paws.

Gorgonzola - still snoozing on her pig.

Colby has now located the cave bed.

Colby - wondering WHY he has to share the bed with sister Fontina.

Brie- still not sure why I keep pointing the camera at her.

Fontina - REALLY enjoying the bed.

Colby - out for the count.

Brie - still looking perplexed by the camera.

We've also got some fun pics of 2 past pups.

First up, Rohan (HT Jules Winnfield), a cousin to the Cheese pups on their mom's side:

And a couple of bedtime shots of Bedahlia (HT Aunt Bedelia) - though not related to the Cheese pups, she looks a lot like a bunch of them!

Power of Cheese Pupdate - days 25 to 31

Lots of big leaps in development for the Cheeseballs over the past few days.  You'll notice just how much they've changed over the course of just a few days in the pictures below.

They continue to nurse and eat solid foods - we'll be introducing new tastes and textures this week: some liver (for vitamins!), and some beef and pork for variety.

They graduated out of their baby whelping pools, as well, and now have free reign of the whelping pen.  They spent their first night downstairs in the pen without Lychee last night, and did just fine - though Lychee was a bit unhappy about it, and was super happy to greet them and nurse this morning.

They're playing madly with toys and each other, and are very interactive with us - lots of greetings and tail wags when they are talked to and handled.  We continue to be surprised at how quiet this litter is.  They were quiet as newborns, and remain that way - even in play (at least right now), they're not super loud and rammy.

So - on to what everyone's been waiting for - the pictures! 

Still a few days left in the pool - Mama Lychee with Stilton (underneath), Fontina, Gouda, Brie, Gorgonzola, Pepper Jack, and Colby (sleeping this one out).

They all seem to like wedging themselves between small spaces.

Uncle Buck, the Maine Coon, hanging out on some scaffolding - we've had construction going on this summer, and neither the cats, nor the adult whippets, or the pups have let it phase them.

So tired after playing - Brie, Fontina, Zola, and Stilton 

Fontina - snuggling her rubber bone.

Gouda - happy to have mom all to himself!

Colby - wedging again!
