Horsetooth Whippets: Power of Cheese Pupdate

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.
