Eyes Opening!

 We're at day 13 and the Oo's eyes are just beginning to crack open, right on schedule (days 12 to 16 are about the norm).

They should be fully open in about a day or two.  We'll do no-flash photography for about a week to protect those new peepers, but now the cuteness will REALLY begin.

Pups had their second toenail trim today and did much better - still wiggly, but not quite as much as the first time.

Our resident Maine Coon cat, Uncle Buck, has taken an interest in this litter, just like he did with our last puppies - always present for daily weigh-ins, and was sooo 'helpful' for nail trims today.

Dots is still protective and not allowing the rest of the dogs to interact with the pups, but for some reason is fine with Uncle Buck hanging out with her and the pups.

Speaking of daily weigh-ins - these guys continue to break records!  Such fat little potatoes.  

Current weights:

Loocey Loo:  1162 grams

Osgood Magoo:  1209 grams

Toodle-oo:  1183 grams

Oodles of Noodles:  1005 grams

Doodle:  1146 grams

Betty Boop:  1078 grams

No need to adjust your screen - Uncle Buck really IS almost as big as mama Dots!
