second week

Yesterday, at 11 days old, 2 of the puppies started to open their eyes.  Etta was first, shortly followed by Louis.  This morning Ella has joined them, and I expect by tonight we might have one or two more.

Once their eyes open the playing starts and then things really start to get cute.

Here is a selection of particularly stripey photos taken during the week, plus one of the contented mum with her skirt of nursing babies.

Happy mama
